The project of the filling station of CJSC Gazpromneft-North-West was developed on the basis of the design assignment and the town-planning plan of the land plot. The design documentation was executed in compliance with the current standards, norms, rules and provides for measures to ensure the explosion and fire safety of the facility, subject to the established rules for the operation of buildings and structures. 

Architectural and space-planning solutions

The designed filling station is a complex of buildings and structures designed to receive and dispense (500 fillings per day) 3 grades of gasoline (Ai-92, AI-95, AI-95 brand) and diesel fuel, for refueling six vehicles at the same time includes : control room building with a shop and a cafeteria, utility rooms; a canopy over the platform of filling islands for 3 fuel dispensers (TRK) of the company "TOKHEIM" of the model "Quantium" 510Т 4-8; underground fuel tanks located under the fuel dispenser: avariable volume of 15 cubic meters, two two-chamber volume of 50 cubic meters. drain well; platform for tankers (AC); temporary parking for 3 cars; tire inflation post; underground storm water treatment facilities; lightning rods; garbage dump site. The designed control room building with a store and a cafeteria is a one-story rectangular volume with dimensions in the axes of 10,51 m x 17,23 m and a height of 4,04 m. The main entrance is designed to the trading floor with the installation of a metal-plastic glazed door. The project in the building provides for administrative and amenity premises, a trading floor of the store with an operator's place and a cafeteria, utility rooms of the store and a cafeteria, and engineering premises. The outer walls of the gas station buildings are designed in a metal frame with enclosing wall structures made of three-layer metal "sandwich panels". Roofing from panels "Petropanel", Technoelast - V "flame-stop", Technoelast - N. Drainage from the roof of the control room buildings is external. The entrance to the building for visitors is designed along a ramp. The lower part of the entrance glazed doors to a height of 0,3 m is protected by a shockproof strip. The canopy is a “T”-shaped structure in plan with overall dimensions of 8,00 x 22,00 m and 8,0 x 16,08 m, the height to the top of the building structures is 5,50 m. The structure is designed in a metal frame with building structures sheathed with aluminum composite panels. Roofing from steel profiled decking on metal structures. Drainage from the roof is external, organized by drainpipes passing in the lining of the columns. The project provides for unhindered access for disabled people and people with limited mobility to the gas station building.

Technological part. Organization of acceptance, storage and sale of fuel.

The filling station is intended for refueling passenger cars. The gas station was designed taking into account the following main provisions: the number of refueling cars accepted 500 units per day; provision of refueling vehicles with left-hand, right-hand and two-way arrangement of fuel tanks; providing independent access to any fuel dispenser; ensuring a minimum length of fuel communications. The filling station provides for the possibility of storing and dispensing 3 grades of AI-92, AI-95, AI-98 gasoline and diesel fuel (DF). Delivery of fuel to the filling station is accepted by trucks. Fuel storage is accepted in two tanks with a capacity of 50 m3. Separation of fuel in tanks: 50 m3 (30 m3-92, 20 m3-DT), 50 m3 (30 m3-Ai95, 20 m3-Ai-98). Fuel storage tanks are installed underground at a depth of 1,2 m from the ground (top of the tank). Tank equipment is mounted in wells installed on the neck of the tanks. In order to protect against the action of static electric charges and stray currents, the tanks are equipped with special grounding. Accepted for installation: four-product, double-sided, eight-arm fuel dispensers - 3 pcs. Sealed discharge of fuel from tankers into underground tanks is carried out by gravity using a drain well, MS 1 quick couplings and a special filter. Before draining the fuel, the tankers are grounded. The gas station when draining fuel from tankers stops work. Fuel is supplied from the tank by the pump unit of the fuel dispenser. The suction device consists of a receiving valve, a fire fuse OP 50, shut-off valves and pipelines. The inlet valve is installed at a height of 150 mm from the bottom of the tank. The gas station provides for the installation of a metal box for storing fuel samples taken, the box is located on the street, then the samples are sent to a specialized laboratory to determine the quality of the fuel. The total number of employees at the gas station is 17 people, including 7 people on the busiest shift. The duration of the work shift is 12 hours. The number of gas station working days per year is 365.
