Triple Compartment Fueling
Core’s unique triple compartment AST provided the City of Oldsmar with a fueling system that would accommodate a variety of vehicles while still maintaining a small footprint.
Originally
purchased by Ransom Eli Old, the founder of Oldsmobile, the City of
Oldsmar sits on the edge of Pinellas County at the Northern end of
Tampa Bay. While Oldsmar is known as a small city, it’s population
has grown by 40% over the last 8 years. As a result the city needed
to upgrade it’s fleet fueling system. Oldsmar required a new fueling
system that would accommodate a variety of vehicles while still
maintaining a small footprint.
Core
Engineered Solutions provided Oldsmar with a unique triple
compartment ConVault Aboveground Fueling System. The main tank was
split three ways into 1000, 2000 and 3000 gallon compartments
designed to store unleaded, premium and diesel respectively. The
system featured 3 separate ASTRA dispensing systems as well as a
TopKat fuel management system to help track vehicle history and
monitor fuel consumption.. The close proximity of the tanks to the
water was a concern for the city of Oldsmar. An environment rich in
salt water will cause steel tanks to rust and corrode prematurely.
ConVault tanks were chosen in part because they are covered with a
low maintenance concrete exterior that will not rust or corrode.
The city of Oldsmar was able to reference Core’s GSA contract (GS07F-9110G) allowing them to streamline the procurement process and receive GSA pricing.
