OPW supplied Lukoil with a sustainable solution which ensures complete containment and conductivity for the lifecycle of the site. Throughout the installation, an OPW product expert provided on-site technical support and installation training, enabling the filling station to be finished within the desired timeframe.

In the installation, OPW used Fibrelite S7-390 GRP (glass reinforced plastic) tank sumps which are strong, non-corrosive and require minimal maintenance during their working life. All sumps are vacuum tested in one of OPW’s facilities for tightness, ensuring against water ingress and providing maximum protection for fuel lines, while allowing easy secure access for fuel delivery, maintenance and inspection.

63mm single-wall KPS piping was used to connect the system, providing a safe, easy-install solution requiring the minimum possible number of welds. KPS piping, like Fibrelite sumps, can be fully conductive and ensures safety in the eventuality of sparks or leaks.

OPW’s industry-leading Fibrelite 40 tonne manhole covers, provided a watertight, anti-slip, and easily removable covering solution over the tank sumps. These will also be subject to heavy traffic flow so durability and a safe walking and driving surface are essential – just some of the key reasons why Fibrelite’s composite covers are the preferred choice of oil companies worldwide.
