Project overview

Dedicated aviation fuel storage, built from the ground up.

The brief

The Nigerian Army Aviation Depot at Minna needed its own storage for Jet A-1, so military aviation could rely on fuel being handled safely and available on site.

What we did

  • Civil works, site preparation and concrete hardstanding
  • Horizontal Jet A-1 tanks on concrete plinths, with ladders and handrails
  • A covered product bay: pumps, filter vessels, flow meters, valves and pipework
  • Perimeter wall, steel gates, gatehouse and solar street lighting

The result

Handed over in April 2025: 100,000 litres of dedicated Jet A-1 storage, supporting the safe and reliable handling of aviation fuel for military aviation operations.
