Stability in the Distribution of Petroleum Products
The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company considered the solidarity and cooperation of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company, the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company, and the executive agents as the main factors in achieving this accomplishment, emphasizing that performing such a volume of operations in this short time frame is an unprecedented action in the oil industry.
Meshkinfam, referring to the damages inflicted on the oil warehouses in Rey and other oil warehouses in Tehran province, stated: With the round-the-clock efforts of the executive forces, the fuel distribution sector in Tehran returned to operation in about two weeks, and now the distribution of petroleum products in Tehran is stable and even exceeds previous capacity.
Execution Structure of the Reconstruction Contract
The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company also added regarding the execution structure of the reconstruction contract: This contract is pursued in two main parts; the first part is dedicated to restoring the distribution and transfer cycle of petroleum products, and the second part includes the construction of tanks and the completion of other commitments of the project.
Meshkinfam announced that the progress of the petroleum product transfer facilities is about 60%, stating that the overall progress of the reconstruction project of damaged oil facilities and warehouses has reached approximately 80%, and we hope that by the end of Aban, all infrastructures will be fully restored to an optimal condition.
He identified one of the main challenges of the project as the unpreparedness of the initial design on the first day and added: To prevent time wastage, the design and execution of the project proceeded in parallel and simultaneously, and as operations progressed, the dimensions and volume of work were specified with greater accuracy.
Meshkinfam emphasized: The simultaneous execution of design and construction, alongside the mobilization of resources and continuous efforts of the executive agents, facilitated the rapid advancement of reconstruction operations and the return of fuel distribution infrastructures to operation.
