Drummed Fuel Solutions for Specialized & Smaller Volume Requirements

Drummed Fuel Solutions for Remote and Specialized Operations

Not every site or operation justifies a permanent fuel tank or bulk storage system. Some projects are short-term, highly mobile, or located in areas where installing tanks is impractical or restricted. For those situations, Halvadyne provides drummed fuel solutions designed for flexibility, safety, and control.

Our 205-litre fuel drums and packaged fuel options are ideal for remote operations, smaller-volume users, backup reserves, and aviation support. With drummed fuels, you get clean, sealed product that can be transported, stored, and dispensed in a controlled way—without the need for large infrastructure.

Flexible Fuel Supply When Bulk Storage Isn’t Practical

Drummed fuel is a strategic option when:

Your project is short-term or seasonal
Your worksite moves frequently or has rotating crews
Local conditions or regulations limit bulk storage
Access is by air, barge, or seasonal road, where drums are easier to handle
You require backup or contingency fuel separate from primary tanks

Instead of over-investing in tanks or depending solely on frequent small-load deliveries, drummed fuels give you modular, movable fuel inventory that can be positioned exactly where it’s needed.

Fuel Products Available in Drums

Halvadyne can supply a range of drummed and packaged fuels to match your operational needs and regulatory requirements, including:

Diesel (clear or dyed) for generators, light equipment, and vehicles
Jet A-1 in drums for remote airstrips, helipads, and aviation staging
Avgas 100LL for piston aircraft supporting survey, patrol, or charter flights
Gasoline for ATVs, light trucks, boats, pumps, and small engines
Other specialized or packaged fuels on request, depending on application

Each drum is filled, sealed, and labelled to meet relevant standards, supporting clear traceability and safe handling.

Applications for Drummed Fuel Solutions

Drummed fuels work particularly well in:

Remote camps and exploration sites where infrastructure is minimal
Mining, forestry, and resource projects with satellite work fronts
Aviation support at temporary strips or helicopter operations
Construction and infrastructure projects in early phases before tanks are installed
Emergency and contingency stock for critical infrastructure or backup generators

Drums can be staged centrally at a camp or distributed to multiple smaller work zones, giving supervisors the flexibility to allocate fuel by crew, task, or location.

Safe Handling, Storage, and Dispensing

Even in drum format, fuel must be handled with care. Halvadyne supports customers with best-practice guidance on drummed fuel management, helping you protect your people, equipment, and the environment.

We can advise on:

Proper unloading and storage practices
Use of spill pallets, secondary containment, and drip trays
Grounding and bonding procedures during dispensing
Recommended pumping systems (manual, electric, or air-driven)
Drum rotation and turnover to maintain fuel quality

Where needed, we can also help you integrate filters, meters, and hose kits to create safe, efficient refuelling setups around your drummed inventory.

Advantages of Drummed Fuel Solutions

Choosing drummed fuel as part of your fuel strategy can offer several advantages:

Portability: Drums can be moved by truck, skid-steer, helicopter sling, or small forklift.
Scalability: Start with a small number of drums and increase as operations grow.
Control: Allocate drums to specific crews, assets, or projects for clearer cost tracking.
Redundancy: Maintain drummed fuel as a backup in case bulk storage is disrupted.
Access: Reach locations that are not suitable for bulk tankers or permanent tanks.

In many cases, the most efficient solution is a hybrid model—using bulk storage for main operations and drummed fuel for satellite or mobile work locations. Halvadyne can help you design a combined approach that balances cost, convenience, and safety.

Integrated Delivery and Logistics Support

Drummed fuels are most effective when supported by a supplier who understands remote and industrial logistics. Halvadyne coordinates:

Drum filling and preparation
Transport by road to your staging point or airstrip
Sequenced deliveries aligned with project milestones
Reverse logistics for empty drum removal where required

We plan delivery volumes, timing, and routing in close collaboration with your project team, so you receive the right quantity of drums at the right time—without congestion or shortfalls.

Safety, Compliance, and Environmental Responsibility

Drummed fuels must still comply with Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) and other regulatory requirements. Halvadyne’s team is trained and certified to:

Label and document loads correctly
Secure drums for safe transport and handling
Provide guidance on compliant storage layouts and segregation
Support spill-prevention planning and readiness

Our focus on safety and environmental responsibility means we treat drummed fuels with the same rigor we apply to bulk deliveries and tank-based storage.

Drummed Fuel Solutions Tailored to Your Operation

Halvadyne’s drummed fuel solutions are not “one size fits all.” We’ll work with you to understand:

Your location and access constraints
Expected fuel consumption and duration of the project
Types of equipment and aviation assets to be fueled
Existing storage, safety, and environmental controls on site

From there, we build a drummed fuel program that supports your goals—whether that’s mobility, redundancy, or simply having a safe, manageable fuel supply for a smaller operation.

If your site or project needs reliable, flexible drummed fuel supply, Halvadyne is ready to help.
