Oil & Gas

Fuel depots, petrol stations, LPG plants and lubricant blending facilities concentrate flammable atmospheres, heavy loads and strict safety cases on small sites. Electrical work has to respect zoning, bonding and intrinsic safety from the first drawing.

We supply and install distribution, pump and dispenser feeders, canopy and forecourt lighting controls, earthing and bonding systems, with the documentation hazardous-area inspectors expect.

Oil & Gas Priorities

  • Hazardous-area zoning awareness in equipment selection
  • Earthing, bonding and static discharge provisions
  • Pump, dispenser and gantry feeder coordination
  • Emergency isolation and fire-interface compliance

Typical Applications

Petrol station forecourt electrical refitFuel depot pumping and transfer panel upgradeLPG plant control and distribution installationLubricant blending plant MCC and starter panels

Establish area classification before selecting equipment.

Information to send

  • Hazardous-area documentation and equipment location
  • Process loads and shutdown interfaces
  • Environment and approved project specifications

Scope to agree

  • Classification-led equipment review
  • Control and protection interfaces
  • Documented approval responsibilities

Ordinary catalogue products must not be assumed suitable for hazardous areas. Establish classification, location and the required approvals before product selection.

What changes the selection?

Equipment duty, installation conditions, available fault current, control interfaces and expansion plans all affect the specification. Agree the required drawings, tests and handover records before placing an order.
