Fuel Tank Replacement for Portsmouth Ferry Dock

This project involved the removal and replacement of two old cylindrical tanks along with their fuel transfer pumps.

  • The original tanks were replaced with one larger tank. Two new cabinets were also built, one to store pumping equipment and the other for control and gauging equipment. 

  • The old tanks had deteriorated particularly on their underneaths which had become rotten. To prevent this same problem from occurring with the new installation the replacement tank was placed on steel girders. This adaptation permits easier access to the bottom of the tank, allowing for tank inspections and any necessary repairs. The two cabinets were also placed on steel girders to increase the longevity of these structures.

OTS specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of large bulk fuel storage tanks for fuel farms, distribution depots and 24/7 “pop up” filling stations. All tanks are designed in accordance with the COP Regulations and have a design life expectancy of 25 years.
