RETAIL FACILITY & DEPOT UPGRADE IN GOULBURN
GOULBURN, NSW
KEY INFORMATION
LOCATION: GOULBURN
SERVICE: RETAIL & DEPOT FUEL SITE UPGRADE
PROJECT MANAGER: JOE DORINKO
PROJECT OVERVIEW
At Nqpetro, we’re committed to delivering high-quality hydrocarbon solutions that meet the highest standards of compliance and operational excellence. Recently, our Melbourne team successfully completed a significant 10-week fuel site upgrade at a retail facility and depot in Goulburn, NSW, ensuring the site remains up-to-date with the latest regulations while extending its lifecycle.
This project, led by Joe Dorinko and supervised by Maddison Sunners, involved a series of essential upgrades, all while maintaining depot operations throughout the entire process. As the principal contractor, Nqpetro was responsible for overseeing the entire reline process and ensuring compliance with all regulations.
Fuel Site Upgrade
Double Wall Relining of 3 Tanks
The reline process was crucial in extending the lifespan of the underground tanks, providing greater safety and compliance with environmental standards.
New Pipework
The reline process was crucial in extending the lifespan of the underground tanks, providing greater safety and compliance with environmental standards.
New ATG (Automatic Tank Gauging) System
The installation of the ATG system provides accurate real-time data, improving safety and operational control
In-House WPCG Permitting
Nqpetro managed permitting through our in-house WPCG (Workplace Health and Safety) compliance systems, ensuring that the project met all necessary regulatory standards.
Project Challenges and Solutions
A key challenge of this project was the site’s limited footprint, which required careful management of the construction process. As the principal contractor, Nqpetro took charge of managing the reline process of the existing underground steel tanks, which included confined space entry permitting and supervision of the reline contractor to ensure compliance with WPCG rules and regulations.
Relining the tanks minimized the construction footprint, which was vital to the site as the depot needed to remain operational throughout the project. With the new tanks, upgraded pipework, and the ATG system, the site now operates like a newly constructed facility underground, meeting modern industry standards.
Seamless Operations
Throughout the 10 weeks of work, Nqpetro ensured depot operations continued smoothly, providing uninterrupted services while delivering the project on time and meeting all objectives. This seamless integration of construction and operation highlights the expertise, dedication, and commitment to excellence demonstrated by our Melbourne team, who have left the depot operating at full capacity and revitalized for the future.
