FCC Industrial was awarded a turnkey
or EPC (Engineering, Procurement and
Construction) contract for upgrading the
aircraft fuel supply and hydrant system
facilities at Dublin Airport in Ireland. The
contract, awarded by CLH Aviation (Oil
and Gas Logistics Company) is worth 33
million dollars and is to be completed over a
36-month period.
The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) put out to
tender a contract for the concession of the
oil supply facilities at Ireland’s main airport.
CLH was awarded the contract under a
concession scheme.
In turn, CLH put out to tender a contract,
among a restricted number of industrial
companies, which was awarded to FCC after
submitting the best technical and financial
bid. The scope of the contract includes the
construction of three double-wall storage
tanks each with a capacity of 5,000 cubic
meters, as well as the corresponding
ancillary installations. These tanks will be in
addition to the existing ones and increase
the fuel storage capacity of the airport and
its air traffic.
Besides this project, the Company
has recently executed several high
added-value projects such as the
Mariña-Lucense Gas Pipeline (Spain),
the enlargement of the regasification
capacity at the Quintero LNG Plant
(Chile), as well as the LNG storage
tank at Pöri Harbour (Finland), the
latter currently under construction.
These projects bring energy closer
to the citizens and industries,
facilitating local economic growth and
boosting market synergies, all within
a framework of sustainability and
socially responsible growth.
High added
value
FCC Industrial will build a fuel loading
platform for the tanks at the airport, the
installation for the underground pipe network
and the refuelling hydrants for aircraft at the
runways, and will also build the fire protection
facilities. The contract also contemplates
the demolition and dismantling of existing
facilities and the construction of the new
control buildings and ancillary facilities.
These infrastructures enable FCC Industrial
to improve the capacity of the aircraft fuel
supply facilities at Dublin Airport, thereby
increasing the speed of aircraft refuelling
and, consequently, reducing waiting time.
