D.M. Flaherty & Associates have built up much experience in petroleum licence applications for petrol filling stations and other types of storage depots. For new sites we usually begin with architectural design or planning drawings. For existing sites we can survey the site layout and provide as-built drawings. We provide the drawings and all other documents required by local authorities in order to process petroleum licence applications.
