b'44 SAN FUELING Infrastructure such as transfer lines and hydrant pumps significantly enhanced fuel distribution efficiency were vital elements of the project.and allowed activation of the hydrant fuel system at gates 48 to 51. Although these are the first gates to use the new hydrant fuel system, ongoing and future projects will allow all terminals to use the system to fuel aircraft at the gates.Other UpgradesAlong with the new hydrant pump pad, the rest of the project modernized and upgraded the bulk storage fuel facility to prepare the hydrant system for activation. Key elements included:extensive modifications to two existing above-ground jet fuel storage tanks;installing two fuel transfer lines connecting the new pump pad to the airfield fuel piping distribution system; a power distribution center and generator for the fuel facility to ensure resiliency and 125 Years of uninterrupted power for fuel operations;new load and offload positions for fuel Shaping the Future trucks at the fuel facility; a product recovery tank for additional retention and reuse of jet fuel captured from operations; Planning Airfield & a hydrant cart test stand for calibrating Landside Design carts used at gates for fueling; Business Servicesan emergency fuel shutoff system Electrical SystemsEnvironmental Planning & Navigational Aids installed at gates 46 to 51; andreplacing pavement at the fuel facility.Social & Environmental GeospatialAnother vital aspect to improving the overall Stewardship fuel-distribution system was designing and Construction Services constructing three additional 1 million-gallon Sustainability & jet fuel storage tanks. With the expansion Resiliency Planning Engineer, Procure,of the airport and the subsequent increase & Construct in flights, fuel shortages were often an issue, especially during busy months, Flores Full-serviceArchitecture & explains. As a result, the consortium had engineering, planning,Building Engineering to bring in additional fuel via trucking, which and architecturalincreased our costs and put the operation at Interior Design an unnecessary risk of facing delays.services for all your Besides adding three new tanks, the aviation needs. Technology consortium also increased its offsite storage capabilities. Overall, we now have more Air Service Consulting than seven days of fuel on hand, as opposed to only the two-day supply we had before, Flores adds.Plans for More Hydrants The next gates set to receive the new hydrant system are located in SANs new Terminal 1, and are scheduled to open early this fall.
