The deficiencies slated for correction were diverse and included new isolation valve pits—strategically constructed to enhance the efficiency and resilience of the hydrant system; leak containment structure addressing, targeting and rectifying leaking containment structures to prevent potential hazards and ensure environmental compliance; innovative valve installations, which introduced advanced solutions such as installing butterfly valves under hydrant pits and replacing existing butterfly valves with the more secure and reliable Double Block and Bleed (DBB) valves; vault enhancements, which implemented essential improvements within existing valve vaults, including installing low point drains and high point vent risers for enhanced functionality; and pit repairs and flange replacement, undertaking the repair of damaged pits and systematically replacing corroded blind flanges with high point vents, reinforcing the structural integrity of the entire system.
Collaborating with Burns & McDonnell, we approached this project with a blend of precision engineering, innovative solutions, and an unwavering commitment to meeting and exceeding industry standards. We understood the critical importance of the jet fuel hydrant system in the airport’s overall operations, and our goal was to enhance its reliability, durability, and safety. This project signifies not only our technical expertise but also our dedication to contributing to the seamless and secure functioning of vital airport infrastructure.
