Fuel Tank Replacement at Goderich Coast Guard Station
Official title: Goderich Search and Rescue Station Fuel Tank Replacement
The Canadian Coast Guard needs to replace aging fuel tanks at its search and rescue station in Goderich, Ontario. The current tanks, which hold gasoline and diesel for Coast Guard vessels, have reached the end of their useful life. A nearby salt facility accelerates corrosion, making replacement urgent.
Why This Matters
Live near Goderich harbour? This project affects the Coast Guard station that responds to emergencies on Lake Huron. The work involves fuel storage near the waterfront, so environmental protection matters.
What Could Change
New fuel tanks with protective enclosures will be installed at the Coast Guard station. The project includes replacing piping, delivery systems, and access structures. Design will account for the harsh salt environment from the adjacent SIFTO facility.
Key Issues
- How should the new fuel storage system be designed to withstand the corrosive salt environment?
- What environmental protections are needed for fuel storage near Lake Huron and the Maitland River?
