MINIMUM STANDARD REQUIREMENTS

OF A

PETROL FILLING STATION

A petrol filling station should have at least:

2. One digital dispensing pump (two-way) for each petroleum product

sold at the station. All dispensing pumps should be covered.

3. One service bay

4. One wash bay

PLANNING CRITERIA FOR LOCATION OF

PETROL FILLING STATIONS

• Stations should be located within a growth center or an urban area.

• Stations should be located at a minimum of 100 m from any public

institution.

• Distance between one petrol station and another: 150 m.

• Petrol pumps shall be located a minimum 30 m from any residential

building.

• Minimum plot size of fuel station shall be- 35m x 35m

• Maximum building coverage- 60%

• Minimum landscaping-10%

• Signs should be located so as not to reflect the sun into the face of motorists and should be large to be seen from a distance.

• Stations are to be equipped with fire-fighting and fire protection equipment

• All volatile flammable liquid storage tanks shall be installed below ground.

• Integral containers of adequate design and capacity should be provided for waste.

• Stations should be erected on level rather than sloping site to prevent rolling or discarded materials such as cans, drums, etc.

•Located in Los Angeles at the intersection of two major

crossroads, Helios House, a 10,500-square-foot gas station.

•AIM: to upgrade the original station in an environmentally

conscious manner by recycling old materials, and installing

new materials that are sustainable and recyclable.

• The first certified green gas station in U.S. recognised

by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental

design).

• Ceramic tiles are used in the interior,

which are recyclable.

• Planting material used in terrace

plantation is of drought tolerant variety

such as cactus, to insulate the interior

from heat.

• Rain water is collected by the large

canopy and pumped to irrigate landscaping on site.

• It houses 90 solar panels that supply power for the station.

• The canopy is clad in triangular stainless steel -

heat reflective panels, that are completely

recyclable.

• Floor: recycled glass was mixed into the

concrete pavement minimizing heat gain during

the day.
