Based in Virginia with deep project experience in New York, Zambrano Enterprises supports petroleum-storage and fuel-system projects nationwide.
You are not hiring a company and wondering who will design your fuel system. Matt remains directly involved in the technical design and client coordination from the first conversation through closeout.
Design first. Build with confidence.
Equipment, configuration and AHJ requirements resolved during design, not left for the field.
Three sides of every project.
A fuel system has to work for the owner, satisfy the authority having jurisdiction and be buildable by the contractor. Zambrano Enterprises designs to all three at once.
The owner
What the facility needs operationally and financially: product, capacity, throughput, budget and schedule.
The AHJ
The specific articles, code sections and submittal expectations of the health department, NYSDEC or VA DEQ, fire marshal and building department.
The contractor
Equipment, configuration and details resolved on the drawings, so the system is easier to price and build.
Specialized design and technical consulting.
Zambrano Enterprises provides specialized fuel-system design and technical consulting services. When professional engineering review or certification is required, ZE coordinates with appropriately licensed Professional Engineers through established professional relationships nationwide.
Matt holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering and leads the technical design work. Reviewed and sealed by an appropriately licensed design professional when required by the applicable AHJ.

Built to Work With the Entire Project Team
Zambrano Enterprises routinely works with facility owners and operators, petroleum contractors, engineering and design firms, equipment suppliers, regulatory agencies and other project professionals. We can work directly for the owner or collaboratively with the entire project team.
Zambrano Enterprises has developed strong working relationships with experienced petroleum contractors, equipment suppliers, engineering professionals and other industry specialists. These relationships combine practical field knowledge with ZE's specialized design and regulatory experience, helping produce systems that are compliant, constructible and functional.
Technical design support for firms
Affiliate Member, Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI)
Membership keeps Zambrano Enterprises close to the equipment manufacturers, distributors and contractors who build and service these systems, which is where a lot of practical detail lives.
Examples of the agencies ZE has experience working with.
Each one has its own articles, submittal expectations and inspection sequence. Designing around them from the start keeps a project from stalling at review. These are examples, not the geographic limits of the work.
