About this file
This document provides specifications for an underground fuel storage tank and distribution system for a federal contract opportunity in South Sudan. The specifications call for fiberglass double-wall storage tanks with leak detection and monitoring equipment, as well as steel and fiberglass piping to transport fuel from the tanks to buildings on site. Required components include manways, overfill protection systems, submersible pumps, control panels, remote fill panels, and transition sumps. Installation must meet standards for corrosion protection, pressure testing, backfilling, and start-up services. The contractor must initially fill each storage tank and provide fuel for testing until the system is turned over to the government. Training is also specified on operating and maintaining the fuel storage and distribution system.

D. Function – General:
1. Pump controller shall automatically select lead and lag pump on each underground storage tank based upon run-time log to allow equal run time for each pump. Upon requirement for fuel, “lead” pump shall be energized. If “lead” pump failure occurs, failure alarm shall be sent to Building Automation System (BAS) through level/leak detection controller and “lag” pump shall be energized; see Section 230905
“Instrumentation and Control for HVAC” for BAS. If “lag” pump failure occurs, failure alarm shall be sent to BAS through level/leak detection controller. When demand for fuel is satisfied, pump controller shall de-energize operating pump. Status condition for each pump shall be relayed to BAS through level/leak detection controller. Status categories shall include Pump Auto (available for operation), Pump Running, and Pump
Failure
2. If fuel level in underground fuel oil storage tank falls below low-low level (LLL), pump controller shall terminate pumping and send alarm signal to BAS. When fuel level in fuel oil storage tank has risen above reserve level, system shall switch back to “lead” storage tank.
3. If there are multiple supply tanks for main system, pump controller shall control pumps on each, and equalize run time where feasible. If first main has low fuel level, pump controller shall select next main tank with sufficient level.
4. Pump controller shall receive leak and level signals from all main tanks and all day tanks.

A. See Division 31 Section on earth moving for trenching and backfilling of piping on the site.
The following pipe installation specific requirements also apply:
1. Use shortest practical route, minimize bends, and run all pipe in single trench from remote fuel fill points to storage tanks, from storage tanks to final fuel destination, and from storage tanks to vent risers. Pipes shall run parallel to tanks and dispensers. Avoid piping across tanks.
2. Typically, piping shall slope at least 1 cm for every 96 cm toward tank. Pipe shall be properly supported to prevent traps or sumps.
3. Piping shall be separated by distance of at least 102 to 152 mm. Trench wall shall be separated by at least six 152 mm. Follow manufacture specific instructions for distances between piping, walls, bottom of trench bed thickness, and backfill heights. In all cases, pipe shall be completely surrounded with select backfill of either sand or 3 to 19 mm diameter pea gravel
UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS AND DISTRIBUTION SECTION 335617 - 16
4. Compact backfill carefully over and around piping system. When using tamping equipment, take care to prevent vibration from driving small stones into pipe wall. Take care to remove frozen lumps from all backfill materials before backfilling.
5. Timing: Cover pipe as soon as possible after successful testing to eliminate chance of damage to pipe, floating of pipe due to flooding, or shifting of line due to cave-ins. If damage is suspected, retest lines.
6. Run piping outside buildings underground below frost line and carefully grade to drain toward fuel storage tanks.
7. Installation: Design containment fittings dimensionally such that they can be installed adjacent to each other and not require more distance between primary fittings than necessary in non-contained installations.
8. Preparation: Containment system shall be plain end by plan end when installing two piece clam fittings for FRP systems or electro fusion joints for UPP systems. Light sand or scarf bonding surfaces. No tools shall be required for installation to alter pipe diameter.
9. Pipe fittings shall be free from all defects including delaminations, indentations, pinholes, foreign inclusions, bubbles and resin-starved areas which, due to their nature, degree or extent, detrimentally affect strength and serviceability of pipe or fittings. Pipe and fittings shall be as uniform as commercially practicable in color, opacity, density and other physical properties.
10. Extend pipes up to grade from tanks for stick gauging and manual filling, and fit with watertight, lock-type, hinged cap. Provide pad lock and two keys through Contracting
Officer/COR to Post's Security Officer.
11. Run tank vent pipe up from grade for at least 3.7 m and 1.6 m from building openings, and terminate with return bend, bronze insect screen or vandal proof weather cap.

B. Pressure test both primary and containment piping systems in accordance with Piping
Manufacturer’s instructions. During testing, care shall be taken to avoid sudden pressure surges or "water hammer" since pressures produced can exceed, many times over, rating of pipe and fittings.
1. Inspection: Prior to testing, containment piping system installation shall be completely accessible for visual inspection of primary piping system. All primary fittings, joins and pipe lengths shall be visible during testing. System installation shall be inspected and approved by piping supplier or its certified contractor.
