New State-of-the Art Fuel Storage Facility with Secondary Containment at Point Loma

摘要

In 2008, an eight-year military construction project (MILCON P-401) was approved to replace the aging Point Loma Navy fuel storage facility that was originally constructed between 1917 and 1954. Located at DFSP Point Loma, San Diego, CA, this was the largest construction project ever within the Defense Logistics Agency - Energy (DLA - Energy) at $174 million. Eight 125,000 barrel aboveground fuel storage tanks were constructed to replace the existing one million barrel capacity of jet and diesel fuel storage. A fuel resistant reinforced Polyurethane geomembrane liner was used under each tank and a fuel resistant reinforced Ethylene Interpolymer Alloy (EIA) geomembrane was used in the dike areas for secondary containment. The project was contracted through NAVFAC Southwest and engineering was provided by Burns & McDonnell Engineering in Kansas City, MO. Design began in March, 2005 with construction close-out in January of 2014.
