A Hi-Tech Installation at the new Certas Southampton Truck Stop
OTS were commissioned by Trident Engineering, the specialist consultants that Certas use to complete all their large projects, to complete the installation and infrastructure of the new Certas Southampton Truckstop.
When the site was completed it became one of Certas’ largest volume sites, serving the port of Southampton with all the fuelling needs for the port’s HGV traffic.
During the installation phase of this project, when laying out the underground pipe work it was calculated by OTS that there wasn't enough supply to the islands to have all the nozzles working as they would wish. So OTS recommended the installation of extra fuel lines to ensure that there was enough flow rate to the islands to allow for the refuelling of up to eight HTV vehicles as specified.
When this project brief was given to OTS, the manifold system looked over-complicated and cumbersome. OTS therefore requested that a Mapress pipework system be used to complete this element of the project. This was agreed by Trident. As a result of this, the site installation is very efficient and does look very professional and compact.
