Mechanical transport fuelling installation (MTFI) replacement at Kendrew Barracks
Published: 21 August 2020
The project
The project encompassed the complete removal of the existing MTFI including 3 x below ground tanks, lighting system, electrical items, forecourt and pumps. The new installation included 2 x new below ground bunded tanks, 2 x new dispensing pumps, leak detection and all ancillary equipment required for a MTFI under DMG 14.
The solution
Tank Cleaning
There was an issue raised with regards to the planned method to be used to decommission the fuel storage tanks where tank confined space entry was not to be allowed even though the proposed procedures to be followed are those as set out in the Energy Institute’s Guidelines. Adler and Allan in order to resolve the issue accommodated a change in procedure and implemented the bespoke solution requested by the client, mobilising the additional plant, machinery and personnel required to accomplish the task. The Underground Storage Tanks were then decommissioned by the method as required by the onsite AP.
Oil Water Interceptor
The original specification did not detail the design for the telemetry system accurately. Using Adler and Allan’s in house CompEx electricians and design team, a design was produced and installed, leading to the successful handover of the system to the Project Aquatrine partner responsible for that area.
The outcome
The project was completed on time and within budget.
Compliments were received from the Professional Inspector, FGSR, DIO and Client (Amey Defence Services) with additional works gained.
The facility currently operates and supports local infantry unit.
Adler and Allan operate strictly to approved practices and guidelines as well as ensuring they are the latest editions. Adler and Allan hold all relevant technical documents, these can be produced as and when required.
