In this Study, allowance has been made for the capital cost of establishing a fuel storage anddispensing facility, complete with impervious bunds to prevent accidental discharge to theenvironment. The assumption implicit in such allowance is that the facility would be owned byCouncil and located on airport land, which would avoid the need for sub-lease arrangements. Ithas also been assumed that Jet A1 fuel only (suitable for turbo-prop and light jet use) would beavailable from this facility - not all types of aircraft fuel.Without knowledge as to neither the demand patterns for aviation fuel, nor the frequency of resupply(assumed to be via B-double road tanker from Adelaide via the ferry) sizing the on-sitestorage facility must involve some conjecture. For the purposes of this study, it is assumed thata similar unit to that recently contemplated for the Prominent Hill airport would suffice at<strong>Kingscote</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>. This comprises: 55,000 Litre Jet A1 self contained, above-ground, horizontal storage tank. The tankconstruction consists of a steel outer tank wrapped around a steel inner tank with interstitialspace between the two tank faces. (This dual skin arrangement avoids the need forbunding). Jet A1 bridging receipt facility. Transfer pump, filter, water separator unit, and valves. Separate Jet A1 dispensing station comprising of filter monitors, flow meter, hose reel andaircraft loading hose/nozzle. Electrical switchboard. Quality control shed.The 36m maximum allowable flexible hose length means that only one aircraft park positioncould be serviced by this re-fuelling facility. If more than one aircraft required fuel, it would benecessary to shift aircraft around. Alternatively, it would be necessary to increase the investmentand provide some fixed, buried delivery reticulation piping to another aircraft parking area and asecond flexible hose. The Study makes no allowance for such additional investment.Finally, no allowance has been made in this Study for any operating cost or depreciation for thefacility. It is assumed that such ongoing costs would be balanced by any profit made in the saleof such fuel, resulting in a financially neutral situation.Ref No. 20120935DR1A <strong>Kingscote</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> Infrastructure Study Report 15
