GTT signs a Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility contract with the U.S. Department of Defense
GTT announced that its subsidiary GTT North America has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense for the Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility. Red Hill is a military fuel storage facility located near Honolulu, Hawaii, featuring 20 steel-lined underground storage tanks with a total capacity of up to 250 MM gallons1 connected to fuelling piers at Pearl Harbor.
Under the agreement, GTT will work with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the U.S. Navy to develop a solution to upgrade the existing tanks to double wall containment.
GTT engineers will use the company's expertise in advanced tank containment system technologies, acquired over the past 60 years in the shipping and land storage of LNG under cryogenic conditions, to design a continuously monitored membrane barrier system that will extend the useful life of the tanks, originally built in the 1940's.
This Award comes to GTT after a competitive source selection strategy launched last spring by DIU, known as Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). This rigorous process falls under the Other Transaction (OT) authority, and is aimed at facilitating innovative technologies from the commercial sector that directly fulfil requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technological advances to support the mission of the U.S. armed forces.
