Oil Industry Clients

Our design and manufacturing capabilities came to the attention of Mobil Oil in the early 90’s. We were invited to redesign the distribution boards for their filling stations. The requirement was to engineer a system that was small as possible but at the same time practical, easy to install, safe, complied with all the special regulations relating to filling stations and be cost effective. All these objectives were achieved and we went on to produce over a hundred units. The basic structure of the distribution board was expanded to cater for larger sites and many have been supplied and installed on motorway service areas.

Our expertise in the design and manufacture of filling station distribution boards came to the attention of the Industry and we have now supplied them to other major oil Companies as well as independent forecourt retailers.

When Mobil incorporated with BP, we maintained our relationship with then and continued to provide BP and latterly BP/Bovis with distribution boards. During this period the design was constantly evolving to incorporate BP’s latest innovations and shop requirements. One of these innovations was the addition of LPG to the forecourt. We were able to assist BP Bovis with their development and produced a PLC control system on which the ‘Connect’ programme of filling station LPG refurbishments and new builds are based.

Other developments included the incorporation of controls and control gear for the submersible petrol pumps in the tanks. This involved the integration of leak detection, product level and dispenser authorisation into the control system. A special pump interface module was developed for this application and is now a standard product for BP Bovis.

The BP Bovis Distribution Board built by Control Systems and Equipment

Automatic control of forecourt lighting and signage has been an integral feature of our design, reducing energy consumption on BP forecourts. We manufacture a controller, 'The Aurora' which is specifically tailored to forecourt requirements and is fitted as standard on all BP redevelopments

We continue to work closely with BP Bovis alliance engineers to provide them with a main distribution board and associated equipment that functions to their latest requirements, compact in size, easy to install, reliable, delivered on time and is cost effective. We are proud to be associated with a major company such as BP and look forward to continuing to develop, designing and manufacturing their distribution boards.
