Malta: Fuel station at St Paul’s Bay upgraded

The project, which started in January, consisted of changing tanks, pipes, dispensers as well as installing a new canopy.

Fritz Energy and Engineering Ltd, Famalco Group’s engineering firm, has completed works at Nicks Service Station in St Paul’s Bay. The turnkey specialists were trusted with the upgrading of all equipment, as well as a full refurbishment of the fuel station.

The project kicked off with clearing all the existing equipment from the site to make space for the excavation and demolition required to house the new fuel and drainage tanks, pipes and canopy foundations.

After the excavation, works began on the installation of pressure-tested pipework, followed by the fitting of new model tanks. Works quickly moved on to the construction of the forecourt surface, where a number of safety tools were implemented during design, such as leak detection equipment, safeguarding the environment from any exposures, an automatic tank-gauging system, removing the employee’s need to manually check the level of product with dipstick and the installation of dispensers with vapour recovery, drastically reducing fumes on the forecourt. Project works continued with the installation of both the canopy and totem pole, each completed with visible Enemed branding and full fuel price display.

“Fritz Energy is a hugely important part of the group. Its staff are dedicated and passionate about their work. Projects like Nick’s Service Station are a great way for Fritz to show off their capabilities and efficiency”, said Co-founder and director of Famalco Group, Hermann Mallia.
