FUEL FACILITY ASSESSMENT & DESIGN

Trenton-Mercer Airport, New Jersey


Corish Engineering was

contracted to provide an

independent assessment of a

recently completed aviation

fueling facility for a corporate

(Dow Jones Industrial) owner. A

design for construction followed,

including new stainless steel Jet A

tanks and modifications to piping

and controls to address safety, fuel

quality and system integrity

issues.  

PIPING & TANK NOZZLE FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS
Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma


Analysis and design of modified connections to four aboveground jet fuel storage tanks, per API 650, Annex P method.  Work was performed as part of a design-build project.  Corish Engineering served as the prime A/E’s mechanical engineer performing piping and tank nozzle flexibility analysis.

CURRENT PROJECTS​

  • Detailed design of a large hydrant fueling system for a USAF area at an overseas air base.
  • ​Detailed design of solutions to address all fuel facility deficiencies at Randolph AFB, Texas.​​
  • Analysis of fuel piping issues at two US DoD bases in Japan.

"Socialism, like the old policy from which it emanates, confounds Government and society. And so, every time we object to a thing being done by Government, it concludes that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of education by the State—then we are against education altogether. We object to a State religion—then we would have no religion at all. We object to an equality which is brought about by the State then we are against equality, etc., etc. They might as well accuse us of wishing men not to eat, because we object to the cultivation of corn by the State."
- Frederic Bastiat


"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

REFUELER RAMP AND SITE GRADING

Overseas Air Force Base


First of a series of projects for the USAF Area on the host nation base.  This project constructs a new refueler parking apron of approximately 160,000 square meters.  Corish Engineering provided design of 12" stainless steel fuel pipeline loop below new aircraft apron, including pits for aircraft refueling at 20 positions, isolation valves and high point vents.  Hydrant fueling system to be completed in follow-on project.

NATURAL GAS FLOW ANALYSIS

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, Virginia


Study project to field measure and then model the natural gas (NG) piping system at the plant as needed to

- Seek a cause and remedy for the gas supply “starvation” the end of line generators experience under certain circumstances.

- Analyze the impact of planned generator installations, as well as other planned or potential future takeoff loads, on the system.


Our survey and analysis discovered an undersized flow meter orifice plate in an elevated exterior pipe rack crossing a road.  This work resulted in a very low cost solution to the company’s NG flow problem.
