Project Location:
Area 82 – Bagram Airfield (BAF), Afghanistan
Client:
Program Manager Power Projection Enablers (PM-P2D)
Client Needs and Requirements:
The existing fuel storage tanks were not force-protection compliant, creating a safety hazard for personnel at the site. This requirement was to replace the existing steel fuel tanks with a reinforced concrete storage vault.
Challenges and ISI’s Response:
Due to rising tensions with Pakistan, shipping through that country blocked, forcing ISI to ship the materials and equipment needed through non-traditional northern routes. Had to put temporary fueling measures in place to carry the outage. Integrating with existing equipment – the scope had to be changed numerous times as different obstacles where encountered in the existing equipment.
The Results:
In spite of material delivery issues outside of ISI’s or the client’s control, ISI was able to finish the project prior to the extended POP.
The Details:
ISI completed the following tasks to successfully complete this project:
- Furnished and installed four (4) 3000 gallon above-grade CONVAULT fuel tanks.
- A change order midway through the project included adding four (4) additional day tanks to the project to supply fuel to existing generators that did not have onboard day tanks.
