Design Over the Facility’s Life Cycle
Our focus at hansaconsult providing worldwide, economical safety solutions for the aviation fuel business. Our clients benefit in all project stages from competent consulting of our experienced team.
Calculating the actual and foreseen fuel demand/Consumption is key parameter for the planing of the aviation fuel infrastructure. The exercise is very complex due to the various parameters. At hansaconsult we utilize proven methods that consider all available resources and data inputs. We work side by side with airports and airports developer to determine the most adequate values based on airport growth plans and forecast predictions for air travelers to determine the uplift values
As far as possible, the anticipated aircraft mix (at least in terms of narrow bodied and wide bodied aircraft), the destinations, schedule and typical fuel uplifts should be obtained.
If little or no information is available then initial estimates could be made by comparison of the proposed size of the airport facilities (especially number of runways and terminals) with existing airports of a similar size and utilization.
A factor that should also be considered is the differing fuel uplifts and ground times for domestic (smaller, but frequent, uplifts) and international long-haul flights, schedule and charter services (seasonal peaks) and passenger and cargo aircraft (likely to park in remote apron areas). An assessment should also be made of the possibility of airlines ‘tankering’ and the likely effects this would have on the volumes.
Fuel supply reliability has a major impact on financial and operational viability of flights. Airport fuel infrastructure forms a vital part of the fuel supply chain. While at most airports the fuel facility appears to be adequate, some airports are perceived to have insufficient or excessive facilities. In case of supply disruptions, insufficient capacity could result in non-availability of jet fuel. Insufficient storage capacity may also add pressure on ensuring fuel quality.
Total storage capacity is determined from the maximum quantity of fuel that needs to be available for a given period, the supply method and its security, batch size, operational convenience and future anticipated growth. The storage tank capacity for each airport should be carefully considered as it not only involves a considerable capital expenditure but also a significant investment in working capital cost of stock. Knowing the product supply rate (either pipeline flow or number of road bridgers, rail tankers, barges or ships per day), the time taken to fill a tank of a given size can be determined. During the time a tank is being filled and subsequently settled, fuel cannot be issued from it and therefore two tanks are the minimum required to ensure a continuous fueling service. For larger depots, a third tank is recommended so that one tank can be filling and one settling while the third is supplying into hydrant or loading refuellers.
A factor that should also be considered is the differing fuel uplifts and ground times for domestic (smaller, but frequent, uplifts) and international long-haul flights, schedule and charter services (seasonal peaks) and passenger and cargo aircraft (likely to park in remote apron areas). An assessment should also be made of the possibility of airlines ‘tankering’ and the likely effects this would have on the volumes.
It should be recognized that hydraulic analysis requires specialist knowledge, EI-1540.
Competent design ensures economic and energy saving systems in full compliance to international approved standards and local regulation. Safety in a hazardous environment is the focus of our solutions.
Robust Control Systems are designed for aviation fuel facilities and loved by the operators for a userfriendly clear structure.
An intelligent Automation protects plant and equipment and reduces the workload of the operator.
Site specific requirements are embedded in a standardized control environment.
hansaconsult Control Solutions support your normal day-to-day operations and a reliable handling of emergency situations.
Pipe stress analysis provides the necessary technique for engineers to design piping systems without overstressing & overloading the piping components & connected equipment.
Pipe stress analysis calculates the stress in a piping system subject to normal operating loads (Static Loads) such as:
Our Design tools are all connected, the 3D CAD Modeling system is connected with the Stress Analysis software, this enable us to efficiently check the piping system will all components and constrains in place, the analysis results are then fed back to the 3D Model.
We use in-house developed Automated Hydrant Pit positional tool for optimum location selection based on aircraft position, aircraft code/type, refuellers types and operational constrains.
A wrong position of a hydrant fuel pit can result in taking the pit out-of-service, special consideration are taken to avoid such incidents.
The Engineering work & Hydraulic Analysis are translated to Smart Data into the Piping and Instrumentation diagram (P&ID), all components are smart and contains all the design parameters such as size, flow rate, medium, Pressure & Temperature ratings and standards, each component has a specific Tag no. that allow easier identification, the P&ID is then translated to a 3D Model where all components are connected and inherit the same properties.
The 3D Model allow easier communication with all the project stakeholder by providing clear picture on the overall plant, it also facilitate the coordination with other projects designer/consultant for different disciplines.

Higher quality design. the ability to perform multiple design checks across the entire design eliminates errors, and enables ‘right-first-time’ engineering.
Accurate materials information eliminates overordering and delays on site due to lack of required materials or information.
