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.

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.
