Oil Fuel Depot Gosport, Tank Farm Project.

Descriptions

Oil terminal construction work. Oil-storage tanks. Construction work for oil pipelines. Storage tanks. The Oil Fuel Depot (OFD) Gosport has been operational for more than 100 years and some of the current operational infrastructure was constructed before World War One. All tanks are of riveted plate steel construction. This type of tank construction ceased in the commercial sector in the 1960's. The existing tanks have undergone packages of maintenance works to extend their out of service dates as agreed with the competent authority, the Health and Safety Executive.The requirement is to raze and rebuild the tanks and associated infrastructure at the Oil Fuel Depot in Gosport whilst keeping the site open and maintaining operational capability for the customer. To achieve this requirement the works will need to be completed in a phased delivery approach, bringing new tanks online to align with the existing tank ‘out of service’ dates in order to maintain the fuel holding requirements.The Contractor will be responsible for all activities associated with the raze and rebuild element, including but not limited to demolition and targeted re-mediation activities on the new Tank Farm footprint. The new tank farm scope will include but is not limited to:— Fuel Storage Tanks — Envisaged 6 primary storage tanks with 5 smaller supporting tanks.— Bunding in accordance with current operational standards.— Associated pipework.— Fuel delivery systems including pump sets.— Admin / control room.— Security elements in line with MOD Standards.
