FCC Industrial wins a 33 million euro contract for Dublin Airport (Ireland)

The DAA Irish airport authority opened a tender for the concession of fuel supply installations at Ireland's main airport, CLH was the awarded company.

CLH, in turn, opened a restricted tender among industrial companies, of which FCC Industrial presented the best technical and financial offer. The contract scope includes the construction of three double wall storage tanks of 5,000 cubic meters capacity each, along with their associated facilities. These tanks will complement the existing ones, thus increasing the airport's fuel storage capacity and potential air traffic thereof.

In addition, FCC Industrial will carry out the construction of a fuel loading platform for the airport tanks as well as the installation of an aircraft ground refuelling underground pipe network and hydrants and the construction of fire protection facilities.

The award also includes the demolition and dismantling of existing facilities and construction of new control buildings and auxiliary facilities.

With this project, FCC Industrial will improve fuel supply capacity for aircrafts at Dublin airport, allowing for an increase of aircraft refuelling and, therefore, reducing aircraft waiting times.
