Scope Of Work
For past decade, Argus has provided critical for Bogota Airport Redevelopment Program master planning for future Colombia's largest international airport, Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado.
Argus Consulting was Engineer--Record for planning, programming, design, equipment procurement administration a new aircraft fuel receiving, storage distribution as well as multiple aircraft hydrant fueling systems to serve Bogota El Dorado International Airport in Colombia. As an integral component major BOG Airport Redevelopment Program, new aircraft fuel storage hydrant systems provides hydrant fueling capabilities for 83 aircraft positions, including 58 gates 25 cargo positions that will be operation by 2022. new fuel storage depot will have three 32,900 BBL storage tanks dispensing jet fuel to hydrant system three 24,100 BBL storage tanks receiving jet fuel from a multiproduct pipeline. will integrate pipeline receiving station, inbound filtration banks, holding tanks, jet fuel transfer pumps, dispensing tanks pump/filtration pads into a single plant with centralized system.
A dual parallel 18-inch transfer piping system approximately 13,000 feet in length will connect depot to Passenger Cargo Terminal Complex. Fuel Storage will include: a 10,000 gpm hydrant pump filtration station, fuel reclaim system, a 20,000 BBL fire water tank connected to foam fire systems, an administrative that houses a fuels sampling laboratory, MCC electrical equipment, systems controls equipment, maintenance parts storage space for operators on a 24/7/365 basis.
hydrant system design master planning
hydrant system is fully operational. It is a dual loop around terminals where most common pipe diameter is 12”. All laterals are 6” diameter each end up a bottom entry fiberglass pit. There are eight isolation valve vaults to EFSO system many other isolation valve pits for manual isolation hydrant system. system was designed for a maximum simultaneous flow 10,000 gpm all pipes are internally externally coated.
Argus also provided planning design hydrant system modifications for airport’s 2020 Master Plan. Proposed expansions North South Terminals will add 27 new gates to existing airport; 21 will be contact positions while rest will operate remotely. This also includes extension two mains (14”) distribution lines under terminal new concessionaries .
