What is FitSafe?
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.
Project Outcome
Fuel System Upgrade - Kirrawee
This project required careful coordination alongside concurrent building upgrades, particularly due to hazardous area restrictions limiting what activities could be completed at the same time. The site’s proximity to a busy road also introduced space and access constraints, requiring tight staging and sequencing to maintain safety, compliance, and quality outcomes throughout the shutdown period.
As one of Australia’s leading providers of hydrocarbon solutions, Nqpetro continues to deliver complex retail fuel infrastructure upgrades — from underground pipework replacement and ATG commissioning to FitSafe installations and AdBlue integration — completed safely and to the highest industry standards.
