How Pre-Engineered Chambers Accelerated the Lea Gate Forecourt Development.
Delivering Integrated Forecourt Infrastructure at Scale - (Lea Gate, Preston)
At the
multi-purpose Lea Gate development in Preston serving both retail and HGV
fuelling needs, Berrys
Technologies delivered a
comprehensive range of integrated forecourt infrastructure solutions. This
developer-led project required scalable, high-capacity systems capable of
supporting commercial-vehicle throughput and enabling rapid installation timelines.
Central to
the project’s success was the use of Berrys pre-engineered Mono chambers, each with a capacity exceeding 30,000 litres. These units were delivered to the site pre-assembled, minimising on-site fabrication and
accelerating installation. While logistically complex to transport, their
plug-and-play nature significantly streamlined downstream activities upon
arrival.
With clearly
defined connection points, installers quickly determined pipework routing from chamber to fill and from chamber to pump, reducing design ambiguity and saving
valuable time. The system integrated seamlessly with PLX pipework and Berrys' one-weld fittings,
ensuring airtight connectivity with minimal risk of misalignment or leak paths.
Additional
Berrys-supplied systems included:
Tank
ventilation units engineered
for both retail and HGV fuelling standards
Below-ground
pump sumps, offering
robust containment and easy access
Standardised
components for
consistent performance across the entire forecourt layout.
This project
demonstrates how Berrys Technologies pre-assembled, high-capacity solutions can drive efficiency at scale, support faster build programmes, reduce installation risk, and ensure long-term performance
across complex, mixed-use fuelling environments.
