Nationwide ATG & Leak Detection Upgrade: A 2,784-Site Success
A national convenience store and fuel retailer needed to upgrade Automated Tank Gauges (ATGs) and Leak Detectors across approximately 3,000 locations in 34 states. With a concurrent back-office technology upgrade in progress, the initiative required precise coordination, regulatory compliance, and execution at scale.
The Challenge
Multistate, Multitiered Complexity
With thousands of sites spanning diverse regulatory environments, the client required a solution that ensured environmental responsibility, operational efficiency, and tight synchronization with their ongoing enterprise upgrade. Timelines were critical, and the ability to coordinate schedules in advance of field deployment was essential.
Integrated Project Execution
JF’s Professional Services, Power (Service), and Distribution teams provided a turnkey solution—handling equipment procurement, site surveys, permitting, installation, testing, and compliance. Using refined workflows and specialized roles, the project achieved a pace of 25 installations per day across 12 months, minimizing disruption to store operations.
Efficient, Compliant, Scalable
Over 2,700 sites were upgraded with 100% permit compliance. Installations were completed with minimal fuel downtime and improved efficiency over the course of the program. The client recognized JF’s consistent performance and has since awarded additional project phases using the same model.
Key Competencies
Regulatory Navigation
Permit expediters ensured smooth approvals and full compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations—often securing permits 260 days before scheduled installs.
End-to-End Project Management
A dedicated project team including schedulers, analysts, coordinators, and technical support ensured seamless collaboration and execution across all phases.
Logistics & Inventory Optimization
Regional distribution centers and proactive inventory systems guaranteed on-time delivery and reduced site delays through advanced tracking and replenishment.
Field Execution Excellence
Over 60 tech offices followed standardized processes including kickoff calls, electronic check-ins, and expert-led installation teams—leading to minimal revisits and reduced downtime.
Performance & Data Reporting
Real-time dashboards tracked milestones, risks, permits, and progress against budget—enabling data-driven decisions and continuous improvement throughout the project.
