Engineering Services
The Shell Aviation engineering team has spent many years designing and building its own fuelling facilities to deliver optimum performance to cost and outstanding safety levels.
For over 40 years our technical experts have been using this experience to support airports, joint ventures, national oil companies, refuelling companies and airlines in the design and build of fuelling facilities. Our team can provide the engineering expertise needed to support you in all key areas of project development.
Master Planning
Starting with a comprehensive feasibility study, including traffic predictions and estimates for future demand, we produce an outline design and a detailed capital cost estimate.
Design
We produce detailed designs (including materials specifications) to provide the required fuel volumes. The designs avoid over-capacity, to cut unnecessary additional expense, while building in the potential for expansion to meet future growth in demand.
Project Management
Our experience and attention to detail means that we can assist you in managing all aspects of the development of your new facilities.
Commissioning
Our team can provide you with detailed commissioning procedures, supervision and certification to ensure your new system is brought on-line quickly and efficiently.
Project Engineering
Shell Aviation has been responsible for the design review of major fuel systems at a number of large European airports, such as London Gatwick and Amsterdam Schiphol. These include extensions to hydrants, refueller gantries, supply pipelines, depot storage facilities and depot system automation.
Over recent years the team has provided design consultancy and commissioning of the EAFS Fuel Farm in Hong Kong and supported the commissioning of the new fuel farm and hydrant system and the extension phase at Dubai International Airport. In addition, we have provided technical support for projects in Bermuda, Maldives, IGA Istanbul, Oman, South Africa, Malaysia, Curacao and Aruba, providing services including design review, site visits during construction and commissioning of facilities. Shell provides expert services to all airports of all sizes, often working with local engineering companies to provide cost effective fuel system solutions.
