Bespoke Fuel Tanks

We work with clients across a wide range of industries to deliver bespoke fuel storage and dispensing solutions to keep the UK’s industries running. 

 
 

  • Full ‘turn-key’ solution that includes, Planning Applications, Civil and Electrical Works, delivery and tank, pipework and associated equipment.

  • Whatever your fuel storage & dispensing requirements, OTS group has a team of engineers on board ready to design a bespoke solution to your fuel storage requirements.

  • Tanks can be single skin, suitable for traditional open bunds or fully enclosed and bunded with the advantage of reduced civil works and speed in site installation.

As every fuel operation demands unique design and installation considerations, all OTS Group bulk fuel storage solutions are made bespoke. From litre capacity to being single or double bunded you can customise your storage solution to meet the unique needs of your fuel operation.   

  • At OTS Group, we prioritise your unique requirements. Using advanced CAD systems, we meticulously design custom fuel tanks tailored to your specifications. Our commitment is unwavering: to deliver exactly what you need.

  • Whether a standard model or a bespoke creation, all our tanks are a testament to uniform quality. Manufactured by our specialist engineers using consistent materials and equipment, each tank is a reflection of our dedication to excellence.

    All OTS tanks are designed and built to accord with the Control of Pollution Regulations which require a Design Life Expectancy of 20 years, and OFTEC OFS T200. OTS provide Conformity Certificates as standard practice.

  • While the primary design focus is on safety, security is of paramount importance to us. Features such as lockable cabinets, bund and tank alarms can be incorporated upon request. Additionally, we offer guidance on optimal tank placement to further fortify against potential threats as well as technological solutions to reduce or eliminate theft and misuse. Our aim is to shield your fuel from theft, vandalism, and other external threats.

Secure above ground bunded fuel tanks and fuel storage solutions 

OTS Group offers above ground fuel storage solutions made from high-quality materials, ensuring safety and security. Our tanks comply with Control of Pollution Regulations, featuring a 20-year Design Life Expectancy and OFTEC OFS T200 certification. Unlike the BS799 Part 5 2010 standard, which only covers the primary tank, the OFTEC OFS T200 certification includes the bund, providing an enhanced specification. 

To further optimise fuel storage and management, optional add-ons such as temperature gauges, Perspex weather hoods, and generator options for power outages or remote sites are available.

How does it work?

When you work with OTS Group, you can be assured of a smooth delivery process. We follow a thorough process to ensure that your project is delivered to the highest of standards.

We pride ourselves on service and attention to detail, meaning that the design and installation of your above ground bespoke fuel storage solution will be project managed from start to finish so that your project is delivered on time, and on budget.

 

  • OTS Group job is to understand exactly what you need. Our brief and site survey process considers EA compliance, Health & Safety and client concerns to help to guide you to the right fuel storage solution. From the initial brief and site survey, we produce a detailed proposal that includes CAD drawings of our suggested tank solution & images of recommended equipment.

  • OTS Group has invested in additional qualified staff and 3D CAD software to enhance our drawing capabilities, from initial site survey and client briefing, we are able to produce 3D conceptual designs that allow a clear understanding of how the fuelling facility looks and the impact on the available space. Our full “turn-key” solution includes Planning Applications as part of the design & planning process.

  • In addition to the manufacture of bunded steel tanks in our Gloucestershire factory, OTS’ full “turn-key” solution ensures that any Civil and Electrical Works required to prep the site are covered.

    All OTS tanks are designed and built to accord with the Control of Pollution Regulations which require a Design Life Expectancy of 20 years, and OFTEC OFS T200. We provide Conformity Certificates as standard practice.

  • OTS Group is a tank delivery and installation specialist. When it’s time for installation we work hard to ensure optimal delivery and installation of the tank, pipework, and associated equipment, even in some of the most challenging of environments.

  • At OTS Group, we pride ourselves on service, and we know that a successful delivery isn’t just a ‘set & forget’ affair. That’s why we started TankCare™, an affiliate organisation that deals with all your fuel care and maintenance requirements. We are here to help, from initial installation through 20+ years of operation, to decommission and replacement when the time comes.
