Argus Consulting provided planning and engineering design and construction follow-on services for the Georgia Air National Guard B1-B Bed Down project at Robins AFB Georgia.

Fuel Storage Facility
The overall program called for a new JP-8 fuel storage facility, aircraft fuel distribution system and a Type III aircraft hydrant fueling system. The fuel storage facility included: fuel receiving equipment, two 7,500 BBL above ground fuel storage tanks with fire protection and level monitoring systems, and a dispensing system with pumps, filtration and controls.

Fuel Distribution System
The fuel distribution system included the capability and facilities to load multiple refueler vehicles simultaneously. The Type III aircraft hydrant fueling system was comprised of an apron piping network complete with cathodic protection, leak detection and hydrant pit assemblies. The Central Aircraft Support Systems (CASS) for this B1-B facility provided 400 hertz electrical power, compressed air, pre-conditioned air and a glycol media cooling system for avionics to support the aircraft when parked on the apron.
