The digital revolution has reached the construction industry, revolutionizing how projects are designed, planned, and executed. Building Information Modeling (BIM), virtual reality, and augmented reality are transforming the way architects, engineers, and contractors collaborate, visualize designs, and identify potential issues before construction begins. The digitization of construction processes improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances project outcomes.
Campus generators aren’t just backups; they’re the insurance policy for critical research data, sensitive medical equipment, and the comfort of 30,000 students.
EPA and state DEP rules tighten each year. Getting ahead of them avoids fines and frantic last-minute fixes.
Cleaner fuel, fewer leaks, and longer equipment life directly advance UConn’s carbon-reduction roadmap. Our job is to turn those goals into everyday reality.
– API 653 & STI SP001 Inspections
Traditional tank standards plus ultrasonic thickness readings and drone-assisted visuals so corrosion never sneaks up.
– Fuel-Quality Assurance Program
Annual lab audits and on-site polishing keep diesel on-spec with ASTM D975, eliminating water, sludge, and microbes for cleaner combustion.
– Smart Instrumentation Upgrades
Networked leak-detection probes and guided-wave radar transmitters push real-time data straight into UConn’s SCADA dashboards.
– Cathodic-Protection Overhaul
Soil resistivity modeling, anode performance testing, and proactive replacements fend off New England’s freeze-thaw punishment.
– Severe-Weather Playbook
Pre-storm staging of mobile filtration and transfer skids ensures generators stay online even when logistics stall.
– Zero-Hour Readiness
Real-time alarms and predictive maintenance slash the risk of surprise generator failures during grid outages.
– Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Corrosion control and on-spec fuel extend the lifespan of tanks, pumps, and controls—deferring capital expenditures for years.
– Regulatory Peace of Mind
Every inspection, mitigation, and fuel audit is documented to API, EPA, and DEP standards, eliminating compliance guesswork.
– Cleaner Burn, Smaller Carbon Footprint
Dry, contaminant-free fuel cuts particulate emissions and improves combustion efficiency—moving the needle on UConn’s sustainability commitments.
– Data-Driven Decisions
Trend analysis over five winters and summers yields deep insights, allowing the Facilities team to budget and plan with precision instead of reacting under pressure.
“Digertt’s data-driven approach gives us confidence that our emergency power
stays online in every scenario—from ice storm to heat wave.”
— Facilities Operations & Building Services, UConn
“Their lab reports read like diagnostics, not paperwork. We know exactly what’s
happening in every tank.”
— Energy & Utilities Manager, UConn Health
We’ll correlate SCADA events with lab data to spot issues
months before they surface.
We’ll measure UConn’s fuel-system performance against other
Tier-1 research universities to keep the campus a step ahead.
Quarterly review meetings ensure the maintenance roadmap evolves with campus expansion and new sustainability targets.
For more than 40 years Digertt has specialized in end-to-end fuel-system reliability—inspection, remediation, automation, and emergency response—for Ivy-League campuses, Level 1 traumacenters, and district-energy providers across the Northeast.
If your institution can’t afford “maybe it’ll start,” let’s talk. Connect with us on LinkedIn or visit digertt.com to schedule a discovery call tailored to your site. Fuel should be the last thing keeping you up at night.
