Specialized design and permitting of new fuel storage tanks at Corfu International Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias”, as part of the overall upgrade of refueling infrastructure and the airport’s operational capacity.
The study complies with the requirements of the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) and international safety standards (ICAO / EASA / ATEX).
Project Details
- Location: Corfu International Airport (CFU)
- Scope: Construction of new fuel storage tanks and fuel transfer infrastructure
- Team Role: Concept design, structural and MEP engineering, permitting, supervision
Scope of Works
- Earthworks & Concrete: Excavations, foundations, reinforced concrete bases, and drainage systems.
- Tanks & Piping Networks: Installation of aboveground tanks, suction and return pipelines, ventilation systems, and safety valves.
- Environmental Protection: Fuel containment bunds, impermeable surfaces, stormwater management, and oil-water separators.
- Electrical & Automation Systems: Grounding, lightning protection, area lighting, level and overfill sensors, local and remote monitoring.
- Fire Safety & Security: Firefighting network, ATEX compliance signage, alarm systems, and spill response plan.
Regulatory Compliance
The project design follows international standards and best practices, including:
- ICAO Annex 14 – Aerodrome Design and Operations
- EASA ADR Regulations
- ATEX / EN 60079 for explosive atmospheres
- NFPA 30 / API 650 for fuel storage tanks
Fully aligned with the HCAA requirements, emphasizing safety, resilience, and system traceability.
Quality Control & Testing
- Hydrostatic and leak-tightness tests.
- Grounding and lightning protection checks, as well as automation system validation.
- Frequent on-site inspections and detailed as-built documentation.
Result
A comprehensive and safe fuel storage installation, designed for:
- operational efficiency,
- easy maintenance,
- full regulatory compliance, and
- reduced environmental impact.
