Overview
The brief, and the build
Hurghada — one of Egypt's busiest Red Sea gateways — needed a major jet-fuel store: a depot able to hold the reserve the airport burns through, and a hydrant network to move it to the aircraft.
The depot was built around a 13,300 m³ storage tank, with 4,400 m of 14″ hydrant main, jet-fuel pumping and ground fuelling, filtration and water separation, cathodic protection and full firefighting. In later phases (2014–2018) the hydrant and pump station were upgraded, a jockey pump added, and the system brought under SCADA control.
Two decades on, the Hurghada depot still anchors the airport's fuel supply — bulk storage, clean-and-dry filtration and a monitored hydrant loop, kept current through successive upgrades.
