Rapid Deployment: of bulk fuel farm 

Preparation

Ahead of the formal order, we pro-actively worked with our customer to ensure the project could be delivered within the short timeframe required. 

The following considerations and discussions were made:

• Ground surface preparation.
• Total area required for the fuel farm- set up drawings provided.
• Traffic route plan and signage – to ensure the safety of personnel on-site.
• Site safety – grounding and bonding of all equipment for static charge. And appropriate safety signage and equipment, such as fire extinguishers.
• Environmental protection – equipment and vehicle berms, spill skit.
• Mechanical Handling Equipment (MHE) to load and unload equipment on site.
• Site access – data provision for access to the site.
• Arrangements for confirmation and system installation checks.
• Installation timeline – client installation check, fluid test, personnel training, and equipment handover.

By carefully considering these factors and proactively preparing the site, we were confident the fuel farm installation would be completed safely and efficiently within the project timeframe.

We delivered five TransTank M-Series Twin Tips with  Bulk Transfer and Twin retail dispensers to safely store and dispense 30,000 Gallons of fuel. Each tank is self-contained and double-walled with 110% secondary containment.

THE 30,000 FUEL FARM WAS DELIVERED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

THE TIMELINE: 

When installing tanks and training operators, time is of the essence. That’s why Western wasted no time getting started after receiving the award.

Day 1- Fuel storage containers and equipment loaded and delivered to the site overnight.

Day 2- We saw the tanks unloaded and set up according to the site layout. Electrical bonding and client installation check were completed here as well.

Day 3- Traffic signage and safety equipment were set up, followed by fuel delivery, system fluid testing, operator training, and fuel delivery for site fill.

Due to the efficient coordination and planning, the site handover was completed on day 3.

The client was able to deliver fuel to the site, marking the successful completion of the project.

By working closely with our clients to understand their needs and challenges, we delivered a bulk fuel solution ahead of time that was fit for purpose and exceeded customer expectations.
