Rectification of code 1 and 2 defects from operational fuel bulk storage depot.

RECTIFICATION OF CODE 1 AND 2 DEFECTS AT AN OPERATIONAL BULK FUEL STORAGE DEPOT.

Our team undertook an installation project for a bottom loading system which didn’t meet the correct code of practices and zoning of hazardous areas zone 1 and 2. From this, we repositioned the bottom loading skid control panel that was adjacent to fuel storage tank to safe area location newly formed electrical switch room.

In addition, we repositioned a IHLA panel, sump pump control panel, Drip tray pump motor control panel to safe locations away from Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas.

Not just this, but our team completed the following work whilst on site:

• Stripped out all redundant panels.
