Specialized design and permitting for new fuel tanks at an international airport, addressing growing air-traffic and operational needs. The design and construction meet the stringent specifications of the Civil Aviation Authority and ensure safe, efficient fuel storage and transfer within and outside the airport.
Project Facts
- Location: Chania International Airport (CHQ), Greece
- Scope: Construction of new fuel storage tanks and ancillary infrastructure
- Our role: Front-end engineering, civil/MEP design, permitting, coordination and site supervision
Scope of Works
- Earthworks & concrete: excavation, foundations, reinforced slabs/bases and perimeter drainage.
- Tanks & piping: installation of above-ground horizontal tanks, suction/return lines, vents, safety/overfill valves.
- Environmental safeguards: bunded containment, impermeable graded surfaces and oil–water separation.
- Electrical & controls: earthing/lightning protection, area lighting, level and overfill monitoring, local control/remote alarming.
- Fire safety: firefighting network, signage/zoning and ATEX procedures; spill-prevention and response plan.
Compliance
The design complies with Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority requirements and follows international best practice for fuel facilities (relevant tank, piping, fire-safety and ATEX standards), prioritising safety, traceability and environmental protection.
QA/QC & Testing
- Tightness/hydrostatic tests as required, earthing measurements and functional checks of instrumentation/controls.
- As-built documentation, test records and frequent progress reports to the owner.
Outcome
A safe, efficient and compliant fuel storage installation enabling reliable operation and minimising environmental risk within the airport precinct.
