Project Overview
Pennsville Township’s Department of Public Works (DPW) required significant upgrades to its fueling station to comply with New Jersey Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) regulations. Beyond compliance, the township sought improvements in safety, efficiency, and aesthetics to modernize its infrastructure for long-term operational success.
E.O. Habhegger partnered with Pennsville DPW to provide comprehensive upgrades, ensuring the fueling station met compliance requirements while also enhancing accessibility, security, and usability.
Challenges
Before our intervention, the existing fueling infrastructure faced the following issues:
Non-compliance with NJ EVR regulations – Required updates to meet environmental standards.
Outdated fuel dispensing equipment – Needed modern, more efficient dispensers.
Safety concerns for tank access – Lack of stable footing for maintenance access.
Poor lighting conditions – Reduced visibility and security.
Worn-out aesthetics – Aged infrastructure in need of a refresh.
Our Solution
To bring the fueling station up to standard, EOH implemented a series of upgrades, including:
✔ Regulatory Compliance – Modified the existing fuel tank and system to meet NJ EVR regulations, ensuring environmentally sound fuel dispensing.
✔ New Fuel Dispensing Equipment – Installed modern fuel dispensers to enhance efficiency and ease of use.
✔ Improved Safety & Accessibility – Constructed a concrete pad for stair access to the tank, providing a safer and more stable platform for maintenance.
✔ Enhanced Visibility & Security – Installed new LED lighting under the canopy, increasing nighttime visibility and overall safety.
✔ Aesthetic Upgrades – Freshly painted the tank, canopy columns, bollards, and fueling island, restoring a professional and well-maintained appearance to the site.
Results
The project successfully transformed Pennsville Township DPW’s fueling station into a compliant, safe, and efficient operation, delivering key benefits:
✅ Regulatory Compliance – Fully aligned with New Jersey EVR standards.
✅ Safer Work Environment – Stable stair access and improved lighting minimize hazards.
✅ Increased Efficiency – New dispensers optimize fueling operations.
