THE NEWSROOM
AdBlue Sumps
Commissioned to fabricate sumps for an AdBlue installation in Scotland, we embraced STA’s “evolution, not revolution” approach. Building on our proven sump design, these units have been refined to simplify installation, making life easier for both the onsite pipefitters and electricians, while ensuring 100% watertight integrity.
Small Changes Making a Noticeable Difference
If you’ve ever dealt with the old-style offset fuel grade labels, you’ll know how hard they are to keep clean, straight, and looking right.
We’ve been seeing more and more sites, from big brands to independents, moving over to our rubber-edged grade labels for exactly that reason. They’re made with a tough laminate used in the aviation industry, and because there are no sharp edges, they’re much safer to handle. With safety benefits for installer, tanker driver, and the public in the event of close contact, these labels offer durability and demonstrate well-maintained equipment – the kind of detail that usually stands out as a positive to visiting Petroleum Officers.
Innovation through Collaboration
Featured in the Winter 2025/2026 edition of Insite magazine (the official magazine of PEIMF+), Warren Peters talks about how STA Technical’s innovative engineering processes don’t start life in a client’s office. Rather, they begin on site, with those people who install, maintain, and rely on the company’s equipment every day.
STA Tank Test Rigs Get Thumbs Up
Having just completed an order for a further five of our tank and test rigs, sales of this 'go-to' piece of kit have now reached 150!! Thanks to all those installers and pump manufacturers who tell us this is an indispensable addition to the tools in the back of the van.
Collaborative Design
Working in collaboration with Ipswich Borough Council's Parks Service STA has developed a new security gate system for its open spaces. With the first prototype now installed and with additional gates in the production pipeline, it’s a pleasure doing business with the Council.
Spray Booth Smart
One of the biggest frustrations we hear from customers is being let down by suppliers at the last minute — which is exactly why we’re glad we made the call a few years back to invest in our own spray booth. It means we’re not stuck waiting on anyone else’s lead times, and we can paint our own bollards, tank lids, cradles, and other componentry in-house. The result? We stay on schedule and keep our quality consistent.
1800 Litre Tank Frame
One of our biggest fabrications yet – a 1800 litre storage tank frame commissioned by West Fuel Systems is heading to site in early January 2024. Warren Peters says: “Using past learnings to make certain the tank will secure safely to the frame, laser cut parts also ensured accuracy throughout the whole project.”
Reinforced GRP and Galvanised Gratings
Cut to meet the specific needs of the job in hand, STA’s reinforced GRP and galvanised steel gratings tick all the boxes.

Due increasing customer demand, STA now stocks a range of gaskets to meet your every need.
