Operation of Mega Trade Gas Station and Oil Product Warehouse Fully Suspended

On June 12, 2024, based on the directive of the head of the State Urban Development, Technical, and Fire Safety Inspection Body, specialists conducted a fire safety inspection of hazardous production facilities operating at 17 Sevan Street, Yerevan, including the gas station and liquefied petroleum gas filling station of Mega Trade LLC, and the oil product warehouse.

The fire safety inspections revealed numerous violations of fire safety regulations in both the gas station and the liquefied petroleum gas combined facility, as well as in the warehouse. The violations identified by the inspection pose an immediate and direct threat to fire safety, as well as to the life and health of individuals.

Therefore, considering the risks and the degree of danger associated with the violations of fire safety requirements, the head of the Inspection Body decided to fully suspend the operations of the gas station, the liquefied petroleum gas combined facility, and the oil product warehouse located at 17 Sevan, Yerevan, until the identified violations are rectified.

In collaboration with the Service for the Enforcement of Judicial Acts of the Republic of Armenia, both the gas station and the liquefied petroleum gas filling station have been sealed. It is noteworthy that the Inspection Body has demanded the immediate dismantling of the oil product warehouse's tanks, a task that has been completed by the operator.
