UNO X-Light

U-Cont was a partner in the development of the Uno-X Light concept from the very beginning. As a result of this development work, the customer saves approximately 30 % on costs for each completed station compared to the previous method of operation, and the fuel sales of the station chain have exceeded expectations.

Kevitsa Open-pit Mine

Equipment delivery and project management for Kevitsa Open-Pit Mine, Neste Oil Corporation. In the summer of 2012, a distribution system was installed at Kevitsa Mining Oy’s mine, with safety being a key focus in its development. The high level of safety was ensured through features such as rock guards, fire protection, and a double-walled, insulated HFB tank structure.

UNO-X Hydrogen

U-Cont partnered with the Norwegian company Uno-X Hydrogen to develop hydrogen refueling solutions. The first hydrogen distribution station resulting from this collaboration was opened in Norway in 2016.

ABC Uurainen

This station was implemented using our underground distribution station solution, which includes an underground tank, a 7x7m canopy, islands, shafts, piping, as well as the transportation and installation of the entire system on-site.

Our product’s modular design enables cost-effective production while offering a wide range of layout options to meet various customer needs. U-Cont’s underground stations are the world’s most installed modular distribution station product family, designed to directly address customer requirements.

ABC Varkaus

The first U-Cont project for PeeÄssä was the ABC self-service station implemented with a new concept in 1992, during a deep recession, in the yard of the old Prisma in Varkaus.

Thirty years later, in 2023, U-Cont built a new ABC self-service station near the new Prisma in Varkaus. Its six different fuel types are stored in the same 100-cubic-meter tank, but in carefully separated compartments.

Båtsfjord Distribution Station, Bunker Oil AS

The delivery to Båtsfjord, Norway, in collaboration with Bunker Oil AS, is a great example of how the core of our products, the tank, and concept development combined with visual appeal can create unique fuel stations.

The delivery includes a two-compartment vertical diesel tank, an AdBlue tank, and a separate small 15 m³ insulated above-ground gasoline tank with a small canopy. Additionally, the station features a WASP Power & Filtration Solutions system, ensuring the quality of diesel fuel.

While we primarily focus on factory-ready modules, this project demonstrates our extensive experience in concept design and various solutions.

World’s Fastest Installation Service

U-Cont set an unofficial record for the installation of a distribution station in Norway. The station began selling fuel just five days after the excavator first touched the ground with its bucket.

Neste Tuusula

We built the first above-ground service station in Finland together with Neste at the Tuusula housing fair area. The station currently sells renewable diesel, and gasoline will be available as soon as the Finnish government finalizes the regulation allowing above-ground gasoline storage.

St1 Oulu

In 2021, U-Cont manufactured a distribution station for St1 in Oulu. The station features a two-island fueling point and a Truck-Stop point designed for heavy traffic.

Kristiansund

Bunker Oil’s distribution station in Kristiansund, Norway, represents a very modern approach to the fuel station business in terms of both appearance and technical solutions. The pipes from the tank are routed to the dispensers above the canopy, minimizing earthworks and reducing risks such as those caused by frost.

Oulu Limingantulli

In the summer of 2013, U-Cont delivered one of Finland’s largest distribution stations to Oulu, adjacent to the newly renovated Limingantulli Prisma, commissioned by Osuuskauppa Arina. The canopy of the distribution station is the largest we have ever manufactured and features a unique design.

Mo i Rana, Norway

The AdContain in Mo i Rana, Norway, now operating under the YX brand, was completed at the end of 2012. This heavy traffic fueling station features a vertical tank and a gull-wing canopy. The gull-wing doors can be lowered during storms, for example.

Boat Refueling Station at Korpilahti Harbor

This distribution station was built in 2010 at Korpilahti Harbor. Due to the groundwater level, the station was implemented with a partially above-ground tank. The partially above-ground tank is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution, as it significantly shortens underground pipelines and makes the filling point easier to monitor.

HFB Tanks

HFB tanks have been delivered to Savon Voima in sizes ranging from 30 to 100 m³. In Finland, there are hundreds of heavy oil tanks from the 1970s and 1980s that have reached the end of their service life. The HFB series tanks manufactured for Savon Voima Oyj address this need.

For underground tank solutions, U-Cont offers various options in sizes ranging from 3 to 150 m³.

For underground tank solutions, U-Cont has various options up to the 150m³ size category.

Sprinkler Water Tanks

U-Cont has supplied underground tanks for use as sprinkler water tanks. These tanks can be installed, for example, under parking areas in locations where large quantities of water are required for the sprinkler system.

Varkaus District Heating

In May-June 2017, the oil tanks for Varkaus district heating were replaced. The old tanks were removed, and the foundations were renewed. U-Cont delivered and installed eight above-ground 50 m³ tanks at five different locations in the Varkaus area.

Above-Ground 20 m³ Tank

An above-ground 20 m³ tank with a fill pipe secured in a lockable fill box. Additionally, the tank comes with factory-installed electrical and electronic work.

In 2014, U-Cont installed the fuel system for the backup power equipment at the Mäntsälä data center, adjacent to the server room. The cornerstones of the project were comprehensive delivery content, cost-effectiveness, project management, flexibility, durability, and ease of use for the customer. The delivery included the entire fuel system.

Liquid Dispensing System for Avant Tecno

We implemented a liquid dispensing system for Avant Tecno, allowing refueling from both sides of the dispensing point. The system can dispense three different liquids.

The delivery included automation, electrification, logic controls, and quantity measurements for each type, pump and filter equipment, and the construction of pipeline lines within the existing roof structures.

We executed the project from design to installation on a turnkey basis, ensuring high quality and adherence to the schedule.

St1 Biofuels contacted us when they started manufacturing ethanol plants, intending to order standard process tanks. At U-Cont, we focused on the modularization of the plant and overall process thinking. Through discussions, U-Cont participated in the project not just as a tank supplier but as a partner in the entire concept development and subsequent process: design, production, logistics, installation, and maintenance services, covering all phases of our service range.

In 2010, we delivered an isopropanol system to Orion. The system includes a stainless-steel storage tank with weighing, a heated ATEX-classified equipment room with lighting, pumps, and valves, and piping according to SMS 3008 standard with filters. The system is controlled through Orion’s factory system. In 2011, the system was updated with a filling system to transfer isopropanol from an IBC container to the storage tank.

In 2009, we delivered a water-glycol system to WinWinD’s factory as a complete delivery. The U-Cont delivery included connections to the IBC container, pumps, pipelines, valves, a mixing tank, and operating logic, installed and commissioned.
