Fuel Farm Construction - NC Global TransPark |
|
Work continues on the new North Carolina Global TransPark fuel farm! Site prep work was completed early this year, and now work has shifted to installing underground lines and the foundation for the three vertical tanks, which will have a 500,000-gallon fuel capacity. At this point, the project's most noticeable part is the retaining wall being constructed around the foundation of the above-ground tanks. When complete, the new fuel farm, located adjacent to NC Global TransPark's 11,500 ft runway, will better meet the fuel service demands of recent tenant expansions and future airport growth. |
