Costain Oil, Gas & Process Ltd

Project Summary

Background

Quartzelec’s Wrexham business has successfully started delivering several services to Costain Oil, Gas & Process Ltd in relation to the contractor’s work on Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS).

The Government organisation, the Oil and Pipelines Agency, manages the GPSS – a 2,000km network of fuel pipelines and storage depots for both military and commercial users which distributes 40% of aviation fuel within the UK, which is currently being updated.

The Project

The project began initially with HV maintenance but has subsequently been extended to LV and instrumentation maintenance and testing.

With the pipelines and storage used for Grade A+ aviation fuel, every site is a hazardous area. All personnel working on site is specially trained in hazardous area working, and only suitable tools, clothing and PPE can be used.
