Scope Of Work
As Port Authority New York New Jersey prepared for a new terminal at Newark's International Airport, Argus studied best options for fueling aircraft.
Argus Consulting provided Stage 1 reports designs for fueling infrastructure improvements as Port Authority New York New Jersey was planning stages for a replacement existing Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to accommodate EWR Master Plan. new Terminal A will replace three existing concourses at EWR will include a new hydrant fuel loop emergency fuel shutoff system.
One study covered proposed improvements needed to relocate fueling infrastructure that falls within footprint proposed Terminal A. Specific improvements considered in study included providing new fuel transmission lines from Tank Farm to existing concourses, replacement existing Fuel Selection , replacement aging Tank Farm controls infrastructure, new bulk storage tanks significant improvements to Tank Farm pumping systems. This comprehensive included: developing pipe routes profiles, pumping system design, review of concerns, conceptual layouts for all new systems, hydraulic simulations for pipe pumping systems (layout new EFSO) cost estimating.
Argus also provided Stage 1 Report 30% design for new Terminal A hydrant system.
This study required determination peak simultaneous fueling demand at airport, proposed routing fuel distribution mains, valve vault configuration, completion a hydraulic analysis to size piping, modifications required at fuel farm specific pump groups, modifications to existing truck racks hydrant cart test stand, leak detection, and modification and upgrades to existing system.
A detailed, phased approach was developed to minimize impact to airfield to coordinate with phased Terminal A. Argus was then retained for the 30% design for a new hydrant fuel distribution system Emergency Fuel Shutoff System. This effort established relevant codes, design criteria, materials , piping alignment, details, system configuration estimated costs.
