The newly built premises at Omega Park in Warrington already included a fully designed and constructed fuel island, which meant whatever the customer needed had to fit that space with no adaptability.
It became evident that the design constraints of the fuel island were going to make it a complex challenge. With set dimensions in place, finding an efficient and functional fueling solution that maximized the available space proved to be a challenging task. The need for a robust, scalable, and safe fuel system was paramount, but the parameters were tight, allowing only a few centimeters of leeway for installation.

“At Merridale, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide customised solutions that meet the unique challenges of our clients, and we saw this as an opportunity for our team to demonstrate our engineering expertise and innovative spirit” explained Sales Engineer, Will Rushforth.
“Understanding the urgency and importance of the project, we collaborated closely with our tank fabricator to devise a bespoke solution. Through extensive planning and creative problem-solving, we designed a tailored fueling system that seamlessly integrated into the pre-made fuel island, ensuring both functionality and safety.”
The final installation included two separate 100,000 litre capacity diesel storage tanks fitted with Merridale MX-T systems, which feature highly accurate gauge technology with precision pressure probes and overfill/bund sensors. These were designed to meet the client’s high-volume fuelling requirements while maintaining stringent safety standards.
Merridale’s tank management systems can now also include stock depletion detection, to alert you immediately, via SMS, of an unexpected drop in fuel level. This means that you will be alerted to any severe leak or theft from the tank that occurs, irrespective of where you are at the time.
As well as the two large diesel tanks, Merridale installed two 10,000 litre AdBlue storage tanks, essential for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel engines and contributing to the client’s commitment to sustainability.
Multiple state-of-the-art Merridale MX-P fuel pumps were also fitted, capable of delivering fast and accurate refuelling to the demanding fleet.
All these components link to Merridale MX-M fuel management systems, giving fleet operators control of multiple pumps with several options available to control access to fuel, as well as syncing with the web-based Merridale FuelWorks software to unlock the comprehensive benefits of its reporting and data tracking.
“Upon completion of the project, the client expressed their gratitude and satisfaction with our seamless execution. They were very complimentary about our dedication and ability to deliver a complex project on time and given the additional constraints.”
This project at Omega Park serves as a testament to Merridale Ltd’s commitment to customer-centric solutions and their ability to tackle challenges head-on.
