Overview
Prime Architects designed the replacement of two failed fuel management systems at FMC Fort Worth. One tracked fleet gasoline dispensing; the other tracked emergency generator diesel use. Work had to proceed without interrupting medical care in the occupied facility.
Technical Scope
- Assessment/Pre-design: Site surveys of the existing systems. Both analog systems were inoperable due to multiple faults and outdated software. The key-fob system was non-operational, so staff logged fuel dispensing by hand.
- Electrical/Controls: New fuel management systems meeting FBOP IT requirements with automatic, accurate fuel-use tracking.
- Mechanical: Demolition and removal as needed, new and reconfigured elements, and mechanical system integration.
- CPS: Construction coordinated with the COR and stakeholders.
Challenge and Solution
Obsolete analog systems failed FBOP IT requirements and forced manual fuel logs. Prime specified replacement systems that track fuel use automatically.
