Project Overview

Holcim Australia required a reliable onsite fuel storage and monitoring solution for its Warrnambool Quarry to support continuous operations while maintaining high standards of safety, environmental compliance, and fuel accountability.

To meet these requirements, A-FLO Equipment supplied and installed a complete Fueltainer FT30 Self-Bunded Diesel Tank solution, incorporating advanced fuel monitoring technology, off-grid solar power, safety equipment, and an ongoing maintenance program. The turnkey installation provides secure onsite fuel storage, real-time tank monitoring, and dependable performance in a demanding quarry environment.

The Challenge

Operating a busy quarry requires reliable access to fuel while ensuring compliance with strict safety and environmental standards. Holcim required a solution that would:

Provide secure and compliant onsite diesel storage
Improve visibility of fuel levels and consumption
Operate reliably in a remote environment
Enhance workplace safety and environmental protection
Minimise downtime through preventative maintenance and ongoing support

The Solution

A-FLO Equipment delivered a complete fuel storage and monitoring solution tailored to the operational requirements of Holcim Warrnambool Quarry.

Fuel Storage & Monitoring

At the centre of the installation is the Fueltainer FT30 Self-Bunded Diesel Tank, providing secure, compliant and reliable onsite diesel storage for heavy equipment and fleet refuelling.

The system was integrated with:

FLUIDLINK MICRO Surface Tank Mount Fuel Management System (FMS)
FLUIDLINK Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) with 3m Probe

Together, these technologies provide real-time fuel level monitoring and improved visibility of fuel usage, enabling site personnel to better manage fuel inventory and maintain operational efficiency.

Off-Grid Power Solution

To ensure reliable operation in a remote quarry environment, the fuel management system is powered by a dedicated solar power system. This off-grid solution delivers continuous operation without relying on mains electricity, ensuring dependable performance in all conditions.

Safety & Environmental Protection

To support safe fuel handling and environmental compliance, the installation also included:

Personal eye wash station
Fire extinguisher with heavy-duty mounting bracket
Oil and fuel spill response kit

These safety accessories help protect personnel, reduce environmental risk, and promote safe operating practices across the site.
