The Buyer’s Problem
Why this solution exists
An operating terminal cannot shut down to modernise. Added tankage, new automation and safety upgrades have to be tied into live systems, on a working site, without losing throughput or breaching the operating permit.

FAQ
Common questions
Will Bharat work on a terminal it did not build?+
Yes. The solution is written for facilities already in service, whoever the original builder was. Scope starts with a survey of the existing systems and the operating permit.
Can the terminal keep running during the work?+
Yes. Tie-ins are planned around live operations, with sequencing agreed with the operator so throughput and the operating permit are protected.
Is a single-system scope available, or only a full upgrade?+
A single system can be delivered on its own. Cathodic protection, weighbridges and access control, electrical infrastructure, or an automation upgrade, each stands as its own scope.
How is a safety upgrade brought to current code?+
New control and ESD logic, gas and flame detection with alarm interlocks, deluge and detection to NFPA, and metering to custody-transfer accuracy, integrated with the systems already on site.
