Pioneering Innovation: Viva ACP Construction Projects in the Oil & Gas Industry

The Indian oil and gas industry is the backbone of the Indian economy. The retail landscape oil and gas sector is dominated by major players such as IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL. With such a vital role in society, it is imperative that the infrastructure supporting this industry is not only robust but also aesthetically pleasing and sustainable. Being petrol pumps, and other retail shops a point of contact with consumers, the distinctive visual components such as signs, displays, and promotion are important. This is where the Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) come into play. Weather-resistant, fire-resistant, lightweight, versatile, and flexible, are some of the features of exterior ACP sheets that help in revolutionising facade design for signage and branding construction of facilities for leading oil and gas companies in India.

Innovation in Public Sector Undertaking

In the oil and gas industry, the government has the highest stake. If we quote BPCL’s former Chairman, and Managing Director, Ashok Sinha, “As a customer, petrol and diesel are products you never see, you never smell, you never touch. It’s a tertiary benefit that you’re able to travel through the use of these products. So to positively impact customers, one has to focus on services”.

When one speaks of services, it is a collaboration of visual representation of the brand among customer touch points and retail units. To represent the customer-centric approach and visual identity of the brand, it is important to revolutionise the signages and facade of the structures in petrol pumps. ACP sheet is made of thin aluminium sheets, that are bonded non-aluminium core, these composite sheets are lightweight, durable, flexible, and easy to install, making a perfect choice for innovation and representation of quality, reliability and trustworthiness in the petrol pumps.

Viva Bringing Brand Aesthetics At HPCL, BPCL, and IOCL

In the pathway to enhance the corporate visual experience of leading oil and gas companies, these major players have forged a relationship with Viva as their ACP sheet supplier. The collaboration has resulted in a remarkable transformation, redefining the visual landscape of petrol pumps.

Innovation, Design and Technology For Corporate Signages

ACP Panels are known for being used as a canvas for branding. As stated earlier, these materials are extremely sturdy and have the ability to withstand changing weather conditions.

Some of the features that make ACP sheet the right choice for branding in the oil and gas industry are:

● Strength in Every Layer

One of the key advantages of exterior ACP sheets is their inherent strength. The aluminium sheets on the exterior provide protection against environmental elements and ensure the panels withstand challenging conditions that are commonplace in the Oil and gas sector.

● Safety

Safety is paramount in the facade. ACPs are designed to meet rigorous safety standards, making them fire-resistant and highly secure. Viva has Aluminium Corrugated (FR Class A2+), fire retardant mineral core (FR Class A2, FR Class B1), which has the highest fire safety accreditation and can withstand fire propagation for up to 120 minutes, ensuring a safe environment at the petrol pumps.

● Endless Possibilities

Beyond their functional advantages, ACPs offer a wide array of design options, allowing for customization to match the unique branding and aesthetic needs of corporate signages. This versatility in design, ranging from colours to finishes, empowers organizations to create structures that not only stand strong but also make a visual statement.
