Forbes Premium Fuel
East Haven, CT

Forbes Premium Fuel partnered with Munger to construct a 12,000-square-foot addition to its operations center. The addition expanded indoor storage capacity for fuel oil and propane delivery trucks. The project was delivered as a true design-build effort, led entirely by Munger's in-house team of CAD designers, a structural engineer, and an architect.

The structure was engineered to meet stringent fire and explosion-proof codes and includes a specially designed slab and floor drain system to contain any potential fuel spills. A masonry façade was incorporated to seamlessly match the existing building, creating a cohesive and secure operational facility tailored to the unique needs of fuel transport.
