Back
We recently worked with our client, a tank manufacturer, who approached us with a request to develop a refuelling skid solution for aviation purposes. The initial brief was straightforward. We had to supply a Twin C Series Pump. However, it soon became clear that the manufacturer had limited resources to assemble the unit and complete the wiring. As well as handle the commissioning process. A challenge we were only too happy to rise to.
A perfect example of how we work in partnership with our clients. Through close collaboration and proactive problem-solving, we were able to provide a complete solution that significantly minimised the input required from the client’s operations team. By taking full ownership of the assembly, testing, and commissioning stages, we delivered a ready-to-use refuelling skid that met the highest industry standards.

The Solution
Recognising the client’s resource limitations, our project team stepped in to provide a full end-to-end solution. Collaborating closely with the client’s design team, we created a detailed process plan and assembly instructions to integrate the Twin C Series pump into a prefabricated skid unit.
Our team managed the entire installation process. This included fitting specialised fuel filters, retractable hose reels and emergency stop circuits. As well as quick-release fuel inlet couplings. Once assembled, we conducted an electrical test on the pump and emergency stop circuit. Thereby ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Additionally, we carried out pressure and wet tests, calibrated the meters for optimal accuracy, and adjusted the flow rate to maximise litres per minute, ensuring the unit’s performance exceeded expectations.
Factory Testing and Final Sign-Off
Once the unit passed all manufacturing processes, the Project Team arranged a remote Factory Witness Test via Microsoft Teams. This allowed both the client and their end customer to review and sign off on the completed refueller skid without the need for onsite visits, showcasing the final product’s readiness for dispatch.
The Results
Through close collaboration and proactive problem-solving, Pumptronics was able to provide a complete solution that significantly minimised the input required from the client’s operations team. By taking full ownership of the assembly, testing, and commissioning stages, we delivered a ready-to-use refuelling skid that met the highest industry standards.
The remote Factory Witness Test further demonstrated the unit’s performance and ensured confidence from both the client and the end customer, paving the way for direct delivery and deployment.
