1. Site Assessment
Nqpetro assesses the existing underground tank, proposed modification and site conditions to determine the most suitable approach.
At Nqpetro, we deliver underground fuel tank upgrades using Fitsafe technology. Our trained and accredited technicians safely retrofit new fittings, pipework connections and automatic tank gauges into existing underground fuel storage tanks.
This specialised solution can reduce the need for extensive excavation or complete tank replacement, helping to minimise site disruption, project costs and downtime.
FitSafe is a specialised tank-retrofitting and live-broaching system used for underground fuel tank upgrades, allowing new entry points to be created in existing fuel storage tanks.
The technology enables new fittings and equipment to be safely incorporated into existing fuel infrastructure, helping operators modernise their sites while continuing to use their current tanks.
FitSafe can be used to support:
Nqpetro assesses the existing underground tank, proposed modification and site conditions to determine the most suitable approach.
The broaching area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the Fitsafe plate is securely installed. Fitsafe combines mechanical and chemical fixing methods to create a secure, leak-free seal before broaching begins
Trained and accredited Nqpetro technicians use specialised Fitsafe equipment to safely broach into the existing tank. LEL and oxygen monitoring, combined with the use of water and nitrogen purging, help manage hazardous vapours and maintain safe conditions throughout the process, providing a safe and proven method for creating new tank entry points.
The new fitting, pipework connection or automatic tank gauge equipment is installed and securely integrated into the existing fuel system.
The completed installation is tested, inspected and documented before the system is returned to service.

Fitsafe can significantly reduce the amount of excavation required to access and modify an existing underground tank.
Serviceable tanks can be upgraded with new fittings and monitoring equipment without requiring complete replacement.
The Fitsafe process can reduce project time and disruption to normal site operations.
