Case Studies

Comprehensive Disaster Drills

Haneda Airport is expected to play a role in the wide-area medical evacuation and emergency goods transportation services in the event of a large earthquake, and we also play an important part in this role as we have an aviation fuel storage facility at Haneda Airport. So we conduct comprehensive disaster drills in cooperation with the relevant organizations to prevent the spread of a fire and improve the response to disasters.

The drills are performed according to the business continuity plan (BCP) of Aviation Division; a disaster management headquarters is set up and an in-house volunteer fire brigade (comprising a protection team, firefighting team, guard team, rescue team, and reporting/communication team) is called upon, and actions are taken under the command of the fire brigade captain and communication and coordination are performed with the relevant organizations to confirm the roles of members.

Use of a Renewable Diesel Fuel

As part of our SDGs initiatives, Aviation Division uses a renewable diesel fuel for aviation refueling vehicles (fuelers) and refueling facility inspection vehicles.

A renewable diesel fuel is an environmentally friendly fuel produced in a hydrogen refining process using waste vegetable oil, animal fat and oil, and cooking oil, and which is quite different from oil-based light oil and can be used without mixing it with light oil.

Enhancement of Facilities

We enhanced the fuel receiving facility, oil storage facility, and delivery facility to cope with the planned increase in the annual number of landings and takeoffs at Haneda Airport.

The receiving facility has two berths where oil tankers can dock. The facility that could receive only one tanker was expanded so as to be able to receive two tankers at the same time.

The site of the oil storage facility was expanded to add two oil tanks (9,800 kl and 9,300 kl)

Three pumps were added to the delivery facility to be able to supply aviation fuel stably.

As a pioneer of the hydrant system, we will cope with the further development of Haneda Airport and the growing aviation demand.

Consultation on Fuel Supply Facilities

Taking advantage of the know-how acquired from the operation at Haneda Airport, we offer consulting services on design, construction, and operation of fuel supply facilities inside and outside of Japan.

Hazardous substances are handled at fuel supply facilities so it is critical to follow the laws and regulations such as the Fire Service Act.

We were engaged in the construction of a variety of airport fuel supply facilities inside and outside of Japan by assigning experienced knowledgeable engineers to consult with government agencies, filing applications on behalf of customers, coordinating the construction with contractors, managing on-site construction, and commissioning new facilities.

Recently, we consulted on the construction of the hydrant system in the international flight area at New Chitose Airport.

We will provide the best refueling facility that customers require with our technological excellence.

Refueling Excellence and Safety Review Board

A board meeting is held every year to improve the safety, accuracy, and speed of the refueling operation.
The board members review the operation procedure and every action of the operators to enable them to compete with each other and refine their knowledge and skills to provide customers with safety and reliability.
