Keeping Mt Baw Baw Resort Powered Through Winter
Background & Challenge
Mt Baw Baw is one of Melbourne’s premier alpine resorts, offering skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and a breathtaking escape into the Baw Baw National Park. In preparation for the busy snow season, Mt Baw Baw Resort approached Durotank with an urgent requirement: a reliable, high-capacity diesel storage solution to power their backup generators and ensure business continuity throughout winter.Â
Their existing generators were unreliable and frequently in need of repair. While new generators had been ordered, each came with only a 400L fuel tank, nowhere near sufficient for peak demand. Without a larger diesel supply, the only fallback would have been constant refuelling via jerry cans, which would be a costly, impractical and unsafe option in alpine conditions.Â
On top of this, time was against them. The tank had to be delivered and installed before heavy snow made the roads impassable.Â

The Task Â
- Provide a high-volume diesel tank that could temporarily supply fuel to the new generators.Â
- Ensure the tank could be relocated post-season once the permanent infrastructure was in place.Â
- Deliver and install the solution before winter conditions closed access to the site.Â

Durotank delivered a 33,000L diesel tank on a tight timeline, working closely with the Mt Baw Baw team to guide them on safe temporary fuel supply line setup. Our team provided practical advice and support, with the flexibility to assist on-site if needed.Â
