Nqpetro is the exclusive trained and accredited provider for FitSafe works in Australia.

As monitoring and dispensing technology evolves, upgrades to the forecourt can still be introduced without replacing existing underground tanks. To add equipment such as ATG probes, new suction lines, or additional fittings, a purpose-built access point may be required.

A FitSafe access opening creates an engineered entry point in the tank and seals it with a fuel-rated system, providing a safe and compliant way to retrofit new equipment.

Ground conditions at the Smithfield site presented significant challenges due to its proximity to the ocean and surrounding natural wetlands, resulting in elevated groundwater levels.

To safely install the underground fuel tanks, Nqpetro implemented a controlled dewatering solution, supported by an engineered sheet piling system to stabilise excavations. Continuous dewatering was required over several weeks to maintain safe working conditions and enable the installation of the underground fuel tank system.

All extracted groundwater was treated, tested, and monitored prior to discharge, ensuring environmental compliance while allowing construction activities to progress without interruption.
