It was my academic project, and the project title was the design of a petrol pump. The project site is located on a bedside highway. The petrol pump design project aims to revolutionize the traditional fuel station by integrating cutting-edge technology, efficient infrastructure, and sustainable practices. This initiative is driven by the need to enhance the customer experience.
The scope of the Petrol Pump Design project encompasses a comprehensive set of activities and deliverables aimed at achieving the project's objectives. The project scope is defined across various dimensions, including design, technology integration, environmental considerations, safety enhancements, and overall operational improvements. The following outlines the key components within the scope of the project:
Architectural Design:
Redesign of the physical layout and structure of the petrol pump station
Aesthetically pleasing design elements for a modern and inviting appearance.
Fuel Dispensing Systems:
Upgrade of fuel dispensing units for improved efficiency and accuracy
Implementation of user-friendly interfaces with touchscreens or other intuitive controls.
Technical Specifications for Steel Structure Petrol Pump Design:
Structural design:
The petrol pump structure is designed to withstand environmental loads, including wind, earthquake, and snow loads, in accordance with local building codes and regulations.
Use of high-strength steel members to ensure structural integrity and durability.
Basis:
Employ a reinforced concrete foundation designed to support the entire structure and resist uplift forces.
Foundation design should consider soil conditions and load distribution.
Roof System:
Uses a weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant roofing system.
Consider using coated steel panels or other suitable materials for longevity and low maintenance.
Canopy Design:
A strong and aesthetically pleasing canopy design to provide shelter for the fuel distribution area.
The canopy structure is designed to support lighting fixtures and signage.
