Recently, Barbour Consulting undertook a significant project involving eight sites in rural Scotland. Due to the extreme rural locations and the potential impact of severe winter conditions on several In Line Amplifier (ILA) Fibre Repeater stations, we upgraded the facilities to include additional 3000L fuel systems. This enhancement is designed to provide further autonomy for the site generators, ensuring continuous operation even in adverse weather conditions.
The scope of the project was extensive and included several critical components. Our team constructed new concrete pads to support the additional fuel tanks and laid new ducting to accommodate the bunded fuel pipes. We also designed and built automatic fuel transfer panels and installed auto fuel polishers to maintain fuel quality. To ensure the highest safety standards, we integrated full remote monitored leak detection systems along the entire route of the fuel passage.
Working in these challenging locations presented several logistical and environmental hurdles. Accessing the sites was often difficult due to the remote nature of the locations, and the weather conditions were sometimes less than favourable. However, our team’s dedication and expertise ensured that all tasks were completed on time and within budget, without compromising on quality or safety.
If your generator requires additional fuel storage with automatic transfer from a new bulk tank to its day tank, Barbour Consulting is here to help. Our comprehensive solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of each site, ensuring reliable and efficient operation. Please give us a call to discuss how we can support your critical infrastructure projects.
