Abstract: A fuel distribution station includes a first fuel tank for releasably holding a first fuel, and a second fuel tank for releasably holding a second fuel. A connection member extends between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank, and provides a rigid connection between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank. A support structure supports the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank in an elevated position a predetermined distance above ground, sufficient to allow for passage of land vehicles beneath the support structure during a fueling operation. A control system is utilized for selectively permitting and monitoring a discharge of fuel from the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank to the land vehicles during the fueling operation.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly multifuel fueling platform includes a tower structure and a canopy structure supported on legs a predetermined distance above ground to facilitate the passage of land vehicles beneath. The canopy structure is releasably affixed to the tower structure. An energy source is housed within the canopy structure and the tower provides access to the canopy from the ground, as well as providing operational supply of one of a liquid, gaseous and electrical energies to the energy source.

Abstract: A system for the repair or reinforcement of a pipeline includes a casing having a dimension to envelope a damaged portion of the pipeline, such that a space is defined between an inner surface of the casing and an outer periphery of the pipeline. An injection port is positioned along the casing and is in selective communication with the space. A cap assembly is frictionally attached to the casing and the pipeline, after which time an injectable material is selectively injected through the injection port until filling a substantial entirety of the space.

Abstract: A fuel distribution station for land vehicles includes a first fuel tank assembly for releasably holding fuel and a second fuel tank assembly for releasably holding fuel. A control system selectively permits and monitors a discharge of fuel from both of the first and second fuel tank assemblies. An operation platform is elevated a predetermined distance above ground by support legs and is formed by rigidly connecting the first fuel tank assembly to the second fuel tank assembly.

Abstract: A modular fuel tank assembly includes a first fuel tank body defining a first inner volume and a second fuel tank body defining a second inner volume, where the first inner volume is spatially separate from the second inner volume. A connecting conduit is in fluid communication with the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank. The first fuel tank, the second fuel tank and the connecting conduit each define a double-walled structure having an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly fuel distribution station includes an upper canopy, said upper canopy including a fuel tank and an outer shell enclosing said fuel tank, a plurality of supporting columns supporting said upper canopy and said fuel tank, a fuel distribution interface suspended from said upper canopy, said fuel distribution interface selectively distributing fuel from said fuel tank during a fueling operation, and a convenience store suspended from at least one of the upper canopy and one or more of the plurality of supporting columns.

Abstract: A multi-stage gas compression, storage and distribution system utilizing a hydrocarbon gas from a municipal gaseous supply line in a manner that does not affect an operational integrity of said municipal gaseous supply line includes an inlet line fluidly in fluid communication with a supply of hydrocarbon gas at a first pressure, a first compression unit configured to compress the hydrocarbon gas from the inlet line to a second pressure, a first storage vessel configured to receive the hydrocarbon gas from the first compression unit for storage at the second pressure, a second compression unit configured to compress the hydrocarbon gas from the first storage vessel to a third pressure, and a second storage vessel configured to receive the hydrocarbon gas from the second compression unit for storage at the third pressure.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly fuel distribution station includes an upper canopy, said upper canopy including a fuel tank and an outer shell enclosing said fuel tank, and a fuel distribution interface suspended from said upper canopy, said fuel distribution interface selectively distributing fuel from said fuel tank during a fueling operation.

Abstract: A water area may be sheltered by installing, at an active boundary of the water area, a plurality of shields mounted on posts, each shield having a lower edge immersed in the water. Each shield may dissipate at least a portion of wave energy approaching the active boundary of the water area. One or more piers may be positioned within the sheltered water area or basin.

Abstract: A modular, environmentally friendly mobile fuel distribution station includes a fuel tank, a support structure having a plurality of legs for supporting an operation platform in an elevated position a predetermined distance above ground, an alternative power generation device, the alternative power generation device being one of a solar power generator and a wind power generator for providing primary power to the mobile fuel distribution station and a central platform operatively connected to at least two of the legs, the at least two of the legs bearing the weight of the central platform, wherein the fuel tank and the alternative power generation device are disposed on the operation platform.
