Ruby Tank Farm

In 2009, the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) commissioned the complete renovation of the bulk fuel storage facility in Ruby with two main objectives: construct a new storage facility and maintain operations of the existing one. However, the new facility had to be built in almost the exact same spot as the one it was replacing.

The risks were high. The new facility had to be finished in time for the final fuel shipment of the season. STG designed and rapidly executed an effective work plan to ensure that Ruby’s 180 residents had a place to store fuel before winter—STG finished construction in one summer. Ruby can now store 30,000 gallons of gasoline and 130,000 gallons of diesel fuel year-round.
