The project represents a major step forward in fuel storage design, built around durability, safety, and long-term operational efficiency.
The installation features two 150,000-litre BS 799 Part 5 Type J diesel storage tanks, engineered with a sloping-base design to improve fuel quality management and make maintenance quicker and cleaner across the system’s lifecycle. Fully double-contained pipework, leak detection, dual-stage overfill protection and integrated ProGauge/ProFleet monitoring ensure the site maintains round-the-clock resilience with full environmental assurance.
A milestone win
Speaking on the award, Managing Director Kevin Powell commented: “This recognition means a great deal to us as a business. We’ve built our reputation on doing things properly, and this project brought together every strength of our team, engineering, compliance, innovation and practical thinking. To see that acknowledged by our industry peers is very humbling.”
“This win is a milestone for us,” he adds. “Not only does it reflect the outstanding work of everyone involved, but it reinforces that UK tank manufacturing still has the ability to set new standards. We’re proud of what we delivered on this project and even more excited for where we take this level of engineering next.”
Looking ahead, Ledbury Welding & Engineering is determined to continue to drive forward storage technology, maintenance-friendly design, smarter monitoring integration and improved environmental safeguards.
Meeting the needs of a rapidly evolving remains a priority for the company whose ambition is “to ensure that every tank we build is not only fit for purpose today, but fully future-ready for tomorrow.”
