In this presentation we have discussed about the standards that will be used in a Petrol Pump Design.
It consists of an Internet Case Study with architectural drawings
Case Study: Helios Petrol Pump, Los Angeles
12. MINIMUM STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
OF A
PETROL FILLING STATION
A petrol filling station should have at least:
1. One underground storage tank for each petroleum product sold at the
station with a minimum capacity of 5 m^3
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
13. 5. One generator
6. Offices
7. One wastewater drainage system
8. Firefighting equipment
14. 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%
15. • 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.
• Area of land to be developed should be sufficient to allow maneuvering of vehicles
within its cartilage but should not be less than 1100 m2 with a minimum frontage of
9 m on the primary street.

18. •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.
19. • The first certified green gas station in U.S. recognised
by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
design).

25. • Ceramic tiles are used in the interior,
which are recyclable.
26. • Planting material used in terrace
plantation is of drought tolerant variety
such as cactus, to insulate the interior
from heat.
27. • Rain water is collected by the large
canopy and pumped to irrigate
landscaping on site.
28. • It houses 90 solar panels that supply power
for the station.
29. • 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.
