Engineering - Services that perfectly fit your needs
Shell Aviation Engineering has spent many years designing and building fuelling facilities for Shell itself. The aim is always the same - to design and build facilities that deliver optimum performance and outstanding safety levels, at the lowest possible cost.
This same high-quality service has also been utilised by airports, joint ventures, national oil companies, refuelling companies and airlines around the world for more than 40 years. Shell鈥檚 new generation of mobile fuelling equipment is designed to meet the latest international standards, ensuring maximum operational safety and performance based on global best practice.
Key elements to every project
Shell Aviation Technical Services provides engineering expertise in the key areas of project development.
Master Planning
First, all development factors are considered in a comprehensive Feasibility Study. This includes traffic predictions and estimates for future demand. From this, Shell Aviation produces an outline design and detailed capital cost estimate.
Design
The detailed design of fuel storage, handling, and delivery systems draws on unparalleled experience. Shell Aviation produces detailed designs (including materials specifications) to provide the required capacity level.
Expensive over-capacity is avoided, but the ability to expand the system to meet future demand is always built into the design.
Project Management
Some clients prefer to handle project management themselves. However, our attention to detail means that Shell Aviation is often contracted to manage this important phase of development.
Commissioning
All Shell Aviation designs ensure ease-of-use and the capacity to deal with variable future demand. As part of the commissioning service, Shell Aviation provides detailed commissioning procedures, supervision and certification to ensure a system is ready for use.
Case Study: Project Engineering in Europe
At large European Airports, such as London Gatwick and Amsterdam Schiphol, Shell Aviation has been responsible for the design and project management of major fuel system extensions to hydrants, refueller gantries, supply pipelines, depot storage facilities and depot system automation.
Building on Shell鈥檚 operational and technical know-how Shell Aviation creates master plans for the integrated expansion of fuelling systems well into the future. Shell provides expert worldwide services to all airports, large and small, often working with local engineering companies to provide cost effective fuel system solutions.
