One vehicle through a road transport gantry

The facility has been adapted to deal with both incoming and outgoing vehicles. The loading gantry is surrounded by mentis grating channels, designed to capture any product that might escape during the loading/discharge procedures. These channels are linked to a large separator pit.

The main loading gantry is under cover (canopy) and contains two operating lanes. The west facing lane is capable of loading ULP and LRP into one vehicle only. The east facing lane is capable of loading Diesel and Illuminating Kerosene into one vehicle at a time.

The discharge gantry occupies one of the main gantry lanes and decants through a separate system

The area flooring is concreted and designed to allow liquid flow into a catchment manhole and then piped to the oily water separator pit. The walls are sealed to prevent any leakage should a spill occur within the bunded area. The floor area is so designed to hold the entire capacity of the largest tank. Each bunded area drainage is controlled by a gate valve which remains in the closed position.

l.iv. A description of the regular inspection and maintenance procedures.The facility requires that there be a daily inspection before operations begin. This inspection is performed by the Depot Manager or his designated person. This is merely a visual inspection to ensure all appears to be in order prior to commencing daily operation.
