Securing Critical Tactical Power and Field Fuel Reserves

Atlantis Tanks recently supplied a high-performance bulk fuel storage solution for Pontrilas Training Area in Herefordshire. Designed to support remote operational readiness, our engineering team supplied a tailored 1,000 Litre Steel Bunded Oil Tank integrating our patent-pending Imperium modular architecture.

Military training grounds and remote infrastructure require flexible, ultra-reliable fuel containment systems capable of withstanding demanding field environments. To ensure long-term operational versatility and strict compliance at Pontrilas, Atlantis Tanks manufactured a turnkey bunded steel storage system complete with an elevated support stand, dedicated manway access, and modular fitting capabilities.
