Project Description
The Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is building a new fuel receiving, storage and delivery system for the Vancouver Airport Authority (YVR) which features a new marine terminal, a fuel receiving facility on the South Arm of the Fraser River, capable of accommodating Panamex sized vessels and a 13-kilometre underground pipeline to YVR. The new tank farm at the fuel receiving facility includes:
- Transfer pipeline from the marine terminal and inbound filtration and treatment system
- Six (6) steel above-ground API650 storage tanks with a total capacity of approximately 80 million liters, sitting on approximately five hectares with foundations
- Liner and containment dyke
- Containment and drainage control systems
- Outbound pump and filtration system
- Fire suppression systems
- Automated Programmable Logic Control (PLC)
- Fire water and surveillance systems
- Operations buildings
- Access road, parking and pavement
A single NPS14 underground steel pipeline will connect the tank farm to the existing fuel storage facilities at YVR, approximately 13 kilometers away. The pipeline is comprised of 21 horizontal-directional-drill (HDD) crossings that cross urban infrastructure, utilities and the Fraser River.
