Service Overview

Fuel and energy infrastructure presents complex, interconnected risks spanning fire, explosion, environmental contamination, and operational safety. iDRISK engineers have direct experience across remote and urban fuel facilities, aviation fuel handling, service station upgrades, and the rapidly evolving battery energy storage sector. We provide compliance assessments, risk studies, and operational assurance programs tailored to the specific risk profile of each facility.

Key Challenges

Ageing bulk fuel infrastructure with outdated compliance documentation

Aviation fuel handling risks underestimated in non-aviation-primary facilities

BESS installations presenting novel thermal runaway and fire scenarios

Fuel transfer and dispensing operations lacking formal risk controls

Environmental contamination risk from inadequate bunding and spill management

Compliance Considerations

Bulk fuel facilities in Australia are regulated under state dangerous goods legislation. Aviation fuel is subject to CASA MOS Part 139 (airports) and ICAO Annex 14 requirements. BESS facilities must comply with AS/NZS 5139 and applicable fire codes.
