| Project Name | BMA Daunia 500,000L Fuel Farm Installations – Upgrades, Control, and Monitoring |
| Client Company | BMA (BHP Mitsubishi Alliance) |
| Project Type | Capital Project – Industrial Process |
| Project Value | $1,537,332 |
| Project Start and Finish | 2014 – 2014 |
| Strategic Objective | To design, install, and commission a state-of-the-art 500,000-litre fuel farm infrastructure, ensuring operational reliability, safety, and real-time monitoring capabilities to optimize fuel supply and reduce operational risks. |
| The Challenge / Need | – Upgrade existing fuel systems to handle high-volume storage and distribution efficiently. – Integrate real-time monitoring and control systems for better operational oversight. – Mitigate environmental and safety risks associated with large-scale fuel storage. – Ensure compliance with strict safety, operational, and environmental standards. |
| Our Approach | – Conducted a comprehensive site assessment and needs analysis. – Collaborated with BMA operational teams to align design with functional goals. – Implemented modular fuel storage systems to reduce installation time and improve scalability. – Installed automated SCADA-based monitoring systems for real-time tracking and control. – Delivered training and operational handover sessions for on-site personnel. |
| Solution & Key Deliverables | – Installation of 500,000-litre fuel storage tanks with high-capacity distribution systems. – Deployment of SCADA-based control systems for real-time fuel monitoring and inventory management. – Integration of safety and compliance mechanisms to prevent leaks, overflows, and fuel losses. – Delivered detailed technical documentation and operational training for seamless handover. – Implemented fail-safe emergency protocols to mitigate risks. |
| Risks and Challenges | – Ensuring zero operational downtime during the installation and commissioning phases. – Addressing safety concerns associated with high-volume fuel storage and handling. – Managing compliance with environmental and safety regulations. – Balancing project timelines and budget constraints while ensuring high-quality delivery. |
| Result / Outcome | – Delivered a fully functional 500,000-litre fuel farm infrastructure. – Achieved real-time monitoring and control capabilities for improved fuel management. – Enhanced safety protocols and environmental compliance. – Delivered the project on time and within budget, achieving all key performance indicators. |
| Our Value-Added Differentiator | – Technological Integration: Advanced SCADA systems enabled precise fuel monitoring and control. – Operational Continuity: Ensured zero downtime during implementation. – Environmental Compliance: Designed and executed the project adhering to stringent environmental and safety standards. – Scalable Infrastructure: Built a robust and scalable fuel storage system to support future operational growth. |
