Argus was contracted by Aircraft Services International to complete a concept necessary to renovate three existing fueling facilities now operating independently of one another on the commercial side of the airfield. The facilities continued operation throughout the renovation process, and shared a new storm water collection and treatment system. A new fuel recovery system for all the Jet-A storage tanks and canopies was provided to minimize storm water in containment areas.

Concept, Design and Follow-On
The existing farms support DOT tanker deliveries, pipeline deliveries, three refueler loading positions, two hydrant distribution systems and associated systems. Argus developed the concept implemented by the design and construction is now underway.

Fueling Systems
In addition to the five tank Jet-A system serving the Jet-A systems identified above, a Mogas system to serve Ground Service Equipment was designed to utilize the same contained area as one of the refueler loading areas and it is also currently under construction on the same site.

Argus' Responsibilities
Argus Consulting was the prime consultant, performed value-engineering, negotiated with the local contractor experienced with fueling and achieved the project under budget. Additional integration of the facility and the addition of a number of other improvements to the existing facility were made to address environmental and operational issues.
