Due to the continuous growth at DFW, the DFW Board has embarked upon a comprehensive study to determine the need for new Passenger Terminal Buildings.

Fueling System Study
As part of the overall Planning and Programming tasks, the DFW Board employed Argus to conduct several studies and perform multiple scenerio analyzes of DFW's Aircraft Fueling System. Argus investigated current facilities and systems, determined future requirements, analyzed operational issues and presented a Planning Report with recommendations. Argus researched the operating capacity of the overall aircraft fueling facility and associated systems serving DFW.

Technology Issues
A significant planning issue in this project was the utilization of two existing distribution lines installed during the original airport construction more than 20 years ago. To determine the integrity of these lines, Argus was responsible for evaluating the cathodic protection reports, implementing an intelligent pigging/video process and conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. These efforts will save thousands of dollars in new construction.
