How a Petrol Station is born

Let us see how a station is made:
[1] The setting up of a Petrol Station needs a site and the plan of construction.
[2] Land must be dug down for sheltering the petrol tanks. A firm concrete base must be made to stabilize the tanks.
[3] The premade tanks are brought to the site to be lowered and placed in the designated area.
[4] Before the tanked are fitted in place, they are first carefully checked if there is any leakage. If yes, the weak points are sealed up properly.
[5] The tanks are orderly connected to pumps and pipelines are laid and connected.
[6] Petrol is transported by oil trucks to the station and pumped into the storage tanks underneath the station.
[7] The construction of the station at ground level is next underway. Racks for selling snacks, food and drinks are assembled. The computers are set up for sales operations.
[8] Fixing of oil guns and service booths are carried out.
[9] Lights, air-conditioning, water supply should be ready for use.
[10] The petrol station is at its service.
