Case Study: Bulk Fuel Storage

CHALLENGE

A mine Site in the DRC working with mine vehicles and machinery were in need of diesel being on site and close at hand. Without this the mine equipment and vehicles were battling with downtime and unable to progress with the work at hand. Also trucks delivering fuel to site were unable to stand still while fuelling small bowsers on site.


SOLUTION

In order to reduce the downtime, our solution was to have a small bulk storage facility to be setup on site. So, we customised a 200,000 litre bulk diesel storage solution. Along with a 500 litre per minute offloading unit and a 500 litre per minute dispensing unit. This is to ensure that trucks delivering fuel will not be standing still for too long, also that the equipment and vehicles being refuelled will be refuelled at a fast rate, thus reducing the downtime and getting back to work.


RESULT

Having this storage solution on site, reduces the downtime and keeps production and efficiency at an all time high. Thus ensuring the tasks on the mine are completed in a timeous manner. Lower the stand still time of fuel delivery trucks and lowering the amount of downtime on the mine due to fuel shortages.
