Fueling Projects

The following select projects represent the fueling system experience of the TeamMembers of Reliable Contracting Group.

Replace Jet Fuel Storage Complex, NAS Kingsville, TX
$13,094,093. Completed May 2007.

Construction of a new JP-8 fuel facility to include three 20,000 Bbl vertical aboveground weld steel storage tanks (with fixed roofs, floating pans, automatic tank gauging system, high and low level alarms, cathodic protection, secondary containment, etc), tank coatings, tank containment dike with concrete walls and flexible membrane liner, fuel distribution system, refueler loading and truck offloading stations, pump control system, refueler parking, operations/laboratory building, storm drain system including oil/water separators, fencing, lighting, new electrical power, paving, utilities and other miscellaneous items.

Replace Hydrant Fuel System,
MacDill AFB, Tampa, Fl
$14,210,352 – Completed February 2004

Award of this project was based on the “best value” to the government determined through the RFP source selection process. The project called for the replacement of four deteriorated, obsolete hydrant fuel systems, with a single pressurized system. The project experienced several major changes from the original design that individually created some obstacles that had to be met. These challenges were overcome through close coordination and strong communication with the contract administering group as well as the end user, which resulted in a professional and cooperative working relationship.

Replace Fiberglass Fuel Lines,
Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada
$1,333,496 – Completed August 2003

The project included replacement of approximately 1,000 LF of 10” underground fiberglass jet fuel piping from the existing main filter separator to nine existing aircraft ref-fueling stations. The replacement piping and fittings were constructed of stainless steel and the exterior of the materials installed underground were coated to protect against corrosion.

Aircraft Ready Fuel Farm,
Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada
$4,735,508 – July 2002

The project included the erection of a new 30,000 bbl above ground storage tank including a flexible containment line system and concrete containment area, three new truck unloading islands, a new pump house and stainless steel fuel piping to replace three aging and deteriorating underground storage tanks, piping and support facilities. Three existing truck-unloading islands were removed. Additionally, the contract called for the removal approx. 3,390 tons of concrete pavement and asphalt to make room for the new unload islands, fuel resistant liner system, 800 square yards of concrete containment pavement and 1200 square yards of bituminous asphaltic pavement and roadway.

Replace Fuel Tanks,
Naval Station Mayport, Florida
$10,372,432 – Completed March 2002

The project consisted of the construction of two 6400 m3 Jet Fuel Marine (DFM) aboveground storage tanks, two 2400 m3 Jet Fuel (JP-5) aboveground storage tanks, pump house, fuel piping distribution system, approximately 1180 meters of paved patrol road, refueler truck parking area, facility access roads, concrete containment areas, oil/water separators, and all supporting utilities. In addition, construction of two new 57 m3 horizontal aboveground JP-5 fuel storage tanks, fuel distribution pumps and piping at the existing flightline refueler truck rack. The work included the demolition of seven cut and cover underground fuel storage tanks with a combined approximate capacity of 15300 m3.

Fuel Tankage, Defense Fuel Support Point,
USNS Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico
$6,099,900 – Completed December 2000

This project for the US Navy involved the provision of a 105,000 barrel DFM and a 65,000 barrel JP-5 aboveground fuel tanks, complete with piping, controls, spill containment, fire protection, lightning protection, lighting, cathodic protection, and incidental related work.

Bulk Fuel Storage Facility,
Camp Shelby, Mississippi
$5,778,285 – Completed August 2000

The project was awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers to erect a modern fueling facility. The fueling facility consists of three areas: the first, Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, consists of several truck unloading stations that remove fuel from fuel delivery trucks and pump it into two new field erected 3,000-B.B.L. storage tanks. The second area, Wheeled Vehicle Area, services wheeled vehicles. The third, Tracked Vehicle Area, will meet the fueling needs for tracked vehicles. The systems control center is operated with credit card like fueling keys and allows dispensing and detailed monitoring of fuel usage. Each of the external sites will be fed with miles of underground fuel lines from the Bulk Fuel Site. The scope of work for this project includes pumps, site utilities, pre-engineered buildings, storage tanks, fueling canopies, concrete paving, water distribution system, electrical systems, oil/water separator vaults and tank painting.

Replace Fuel Pits, Naval Station
Mayport, Florida
$1,067,054 – Completed April 2000

This project included numerous and extensive repairs to the existing underground JP – 5 and DFM fuel system. The work consisted of the demolition and replacement of the fuel pipe and valves associated with 25 fuel pits serving Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot piers. After the new pipe and valves were installed, each of the existing pits were fitted with new aluminum tops, interiors sandblasted, cleaned, and then coated with a fuel resistant coating on all walls, floors, and pipe. Other work items performed included asphalt cutting and patching, shoring of pits and ditches, concrete repairs, dewatering and testing and disposal of contaminated soils.

Replace Hydrant Fueling System – Phase II
Dover Air Force Base, Delaware
$10,049,146 - Completed June 1998

This project consisted of the construction of a new Type III underground hydrant fueling system to replace the existing fuel defective fueling system. The existing fueling system was demolished under this contract. The new system consisted of approximately 6,000 feet of 12 inch Type 3o4L coated and wrapped stainless steel pipe distributing fuel to 18 hydrant valve outlet pits on the existing airfield-parking apron. The new piping was placed under the existing parking apron ranging in depth from 5 feet to 12 feet.
