Site Requirements
Use this checklist to prepare for a site assessment. Exact figures depend on the configuration and are confirmed by our team.
Physical site
- Plot length and width suitable for the selected format (tunnels need a long straight run)
- Clear entry and exit with space for vehicles to queue without blocking roads or fuel lanes
- Level, load-bearing floor or space to build one
- Space for water treatment tanks and equipment room
- Covered or canopy area if required by design
Utilities
- Reliable water source and storage (municipal, borewell or tanker)
- Drainage to the treatment system — no direct discharge to storm drains
- Three-phase electrical supply with adequate sanctioned load
- Power backup where supply is unreliable
Permissions — confirm for your state and site
- Land-use / zoning permission for commercial activity

- Compliance with notified effluent standards for automobile service stations
- Groundwater / borewell permission where applicable
- Municipal trade licence and Shops & Establishment registration
- Fire NOC where applicable
- Electrical installation inspection where applicable
- Oil-company approval for installations inside fuel retail outlets
