Fuel Facility Design
& Engineering

Custom-engineered fuel storage and dispensing facilities, designed around your operation

Before a single tank or nozzle is chosen, PETRO Industrial's in-house engineers design your facility from the ground up, built around your fleet, your flow rates and your site. From single-tank setups to multi-bay fuel farms, every detail is specified to suit your operation, not the other way around.

  • Built Around Your Fleet

    Designed for your vehicles, not a generic spec

  • Engineered In-House

    No third-party design gaps

  • Scaled to Any Site

    From single tanks to multi-bay fuel farms

Why facility design matters?

Get the design right before the first tank goes in

A fuel facility is only as efficient as the design behind it. Get it wrong (undersized flow rates, poor truck access, the wrong tank configuration) and you're left with bottlenecks, compliance headaches and costly retrofits once the concrete is already down. Design decisions made before construction determine how your facility performs for decades.

That's why PETRO's engineering team starts with your operation, not a standard template. We work through your fleet, your throughput needs and your site constraints in detail, before specifying a single component.

Common design considerations

  • Fleet size & vehicle mix

    The number and type of vehicles using the facility shapes everything from tank sizing to bay layout.

  • Truck turning circles & access

    Tankers need room to enter, turn and exit safely. We plan swept paths and bay positions around your largest vehicle.

  • High flow vs low flow requirements

    Flow rates drive pump, hose and filtration sizing. We match the system to how quickly your fleet needs to refuel.

  • Fuel types stored

    Diesel, unleaded, AdBlue and jet fuel each have different storage and compliance needs, which shape tank and line selection.

  • Site footprint & future expansion

    We allow for the space your facility needs today and the room to add tanks or bays as your operation grows.

  • Compliance & EPA setbacks

    Setbacks, bunding and EPA requirements are built into the design from day one, so approvals and inspections run smoothly.

PETRO Industrial offers a complete facility design service, from initial site assessment through to compliance-ready documentation. Whether you need a single tank facility or a multi-bay fuel farm, our engineers tailor a solution around your exact operational requirements.

  • Site & Operational Assessment

    We assess your vehicle counts, turning space, flow rate requirements and site conditions to establish the foundations of your design.

  • Full Equipment
    Specification

    Every component is specified to suit your facility, tanks, pumps, nozzles, piping and bunding, engineered to work together as one system.

  • Engineering & Compliance Documentation

    Detailed engineering drawings and compliance documentation, prepared to meet regulatory and safety standards from the outset.

  • Collaboration with Client Engineers & Consultants

    We work directly with your engineers, consultants and project stakeholders to ensure the design integrates seamlessly with your broader site or project.

  • iPETRO Integration
    by Design

    Fuel management isn't bolted on after the fact. Every facility is designed with iPETRO integration built in from the start, ready for real-time monitoring, VMI and fleet access control.

How we design your facility

Every facility design follows a proven process to translate your operational needs into an engineered, compliant solution.

  1. Consultation & Requirements

    We start by understanding your fleet, throughput needs, site constraints and long-term plans.

  2. Concept Design

    A concept layout is developed, balancing operational efficiency, site access and future flexibility.

  3. Detailed Engineering

    Full engineering specification of tanks, pumps, nozzles, piping, bunding and supporting infrastructure.

  4. Compliance & Handover

    Design documentation is finalised to meet compliance requirements and handed over ready for installation.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to provide to get started?

Details on your fleet size and vehicle mix, expected flow rates, fuel types to be stored, and any known site constraints help us get started. Our engineers will guide you through anything else needed during consultation.

Can you design around an existing site?

Yes. We assess your existing layout, infrastructure and constraints, then design around them to get the best result for your site.

Do you handle council/EPA approvals?

Yes. We prepare the design documentation required to support council and EPA approvals and can guide you through the process.

How long does the design process take?

Timeframes depend on the size and complexity of your site. We will confirm a clear timeline during consultation.
