Keep your business compliant and protect the environment while reducing the risk of operational downtime
Find out how Adler and Allan reduce your risk and support you on your journey to Net-Zero through the management and maintenance of assets.
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has released new guidance for the management and maintenance of rectangular single-skin or double-skin integrally bunded metallic tanks storing fuel across the defence estate.
Any fuel storage tank that can’t be visually inspected underneath is required to be replaced or repositioned on minimum 300mm skids.
The guidance applies to all UK and USVF sites and is required to ensure compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001.
All work should be carried out in accordance with chapter 2 of Management of health and safety in defence: high risk activities on the defence estate (JSP 375, volume 3).
Failure on a single-skin fuel storage tank would lead to the immediate release of product into the environment.
On double-skin fuel storage tanks, corrosion may go unnoticed and lead to failure of the secondary tank skin that could lead to product entering the environment.
We can undertake all the civils and infrastructure work to extend the life of your fuel storage tanks and ensure they remain compliant, including:
Tank inspection and NDT
Fuel uplift
Potential crane hire and operation to lift tank
Civils to build minimum 300mm skids
Remediation to the tank
Contaminated land remediation, removal and disposal
Tank replacement
Operational downtime
Reputation damage
