Trans World Airlines, Inc. - Nationwide
UST Testing and Compliance
Nationwide UST Management
Program
Argus staff have provided planning, design and
professional engineering services for Trans World Airlines for the
management of their underground storage tanks (USTs) nationwide. The
USTs contained products ranging from Jet-A to ethylene glycol. A
total of 19 projects were completed at ten airports.
Compliance Assessment
Existing
site conditions were reviewed and an assessment report of the USTs
was developed with respect to their compliance to federal and state
regulations. A compliance program was developed to close, upgrade,
or replace non-compliant tanks. Cost estim ates were prepared
for each tank and finally the projects were identified and a
schedule prepared.
Engineering Design
Services
Staff has experience preparing drawings and
specifications for each of the 19 projects. In addition, Tenant
Alteration Applications (TAAs) were completed for each airport. This
required a close working relationship with the airport authority
staff. Arg us staff assisted in the contractor selection and
performed construction oversight on a number of projects.
Design/Build Services
Argus
staff completed a number of the UST projects as design/build
projects. Drawings and specifications were completed as part of the
TAA process, however, sucontractors were selected and contracted.
Construction management was completed on all design projects.
This design/build approach allowed the projects to be completed in
less time and reduced overall construction costs.
