The Munich airport undertakes an extended expansion program includ-ing the construction of a new terminal satellite building. To ensure prompt and effective aircraft service, aircraft fueling is provided by a hydrant fueling system. Fuel is pumped through buried pipelines from the airport tank farm to the distributed fuel hydrants on the airport’s aprons.

For the additional aircraft positions, the existing aviation fuel pumping station is extended by three additional pump lines.

activities

Design for three additional pumping lines for pumping of hazardous material (Jet A1) at the Munich Airport tank farm.

The services include organizational measures to safeguard construction process without interruption of the normal fueling operation.

The professional services encompass

• preliminary (schematic) design and design development
• final design
• design for construction permit
• specification writing.

wolf engineers + consultants provides engineering design for

• the mechanical and process pipe works, inside and outside the pumping station building
• the electrical power supply and necessary distribution systems
• the supervisory and control data acquisition (SCADA)
• the civil works for distribution systems, shelters, steel and con-crete constructions
