Question 1

Does the project include integration with tanks, pumps, and station equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The architectural project is developed considering the positioning of fuel tanks, pumps, filters, and other station-specific equipment. We work together with suppliers and partners to ensure that all infrastructure is integrated in a technical and functional manner into the layout.

Question 2

Is it possible to adapt the project for land with urban planning restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plot of land has its characteristics — setbacks, maximum height, occupation rate, municipal regulations. Our team of architects analyzes the municipality's restrictions and develops a project that respects local legislation without compromising the functionality of the gas station.

Question 3

Do you work with projects for branded stations (Shell, Ipiranga, Raízen) and unbranded stations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we serve both profiles. For branded stations, we work within the identity manuals of each brand. For unbranded stations, we have full creative freedom to develop the project according to the operator's needs and vision.

Question 4

Does the project consider vehicle flow and road safety?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The architectural project includes vehicle flow analysis, positioning of entrances and exits, spacing between pumps, parking, and deceleration lanes. We follow ABNT standards and municipal road safety requirements.

Question 5

What are the stages of a gas station architectural project?

Accepted Answer

A gas station project goes through the following stages: preliminary study, design development, working drawings, and, when requested, 3D visualization and construction supervision. Each stage has specific deliverables and formal approvals before moving forward.

Question 6

Can the developed visual identity be registered with the INPI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every visual identity created by Petrol Design is developed with originality, which enables brand registration with INPI. We guide our clients through the registration process and the applicable categories for the fuel station sector.

Question 7

Do you redesign existing brands or only create new identities?

Accepted Answer

We do both. Brand redesign is as frequent as creating new identities. Many operators come to us with outdated brands that need modernization — we work to preserve brand recognition while updating its visual language.

Question 8

Does the design include applications on uniforms, fleet, and digital media?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The design pack includes applications for uniforms, fleet, and digital media. All within a consistent visual identity manual.

Question 9

How do you balance a unique visual identity with the brand standards of networks (Shell, Ipiranga)?

Accepted Answer

We work within the brand manuals of the networks and find creative spaces to distinguish each station within the permitted guidelines. Our experience with branded stations ensures the project is approved without rework.

Question 10

Does Petrol Visual manufacture and install throughout Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We manufacture and install throughout the entire national territory. We have our own installation team and a network of regional partners that ensures agility and quality standards in any state of Brazil.

Question 11

What materials are used in fascia boards and totems?

Accepted Answer

We use ACM Kynar for fascia boards and cladding, 400g banner for pump communicators, galvanized steel structures, and IP68 LED lighting. All materials are selected to withstand weathering, UV, and humidity, ensuring 10+ years of durability.

Question 12

Do you offer post-installation maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer preventive and corrective maintenance contracts for all installed visual communication. Our goal is to ensure the station's visual identity remains intact over time.

Question 13

How do you balance a unique visual identity with the standards of networks (Shell, Ipiranga)?

Accepted Answer

We work within the brand manuals of the networks and find creative spaces to distinguish each station. Our experience with branded gas stations ensures the project is approved without rework.

Question 14

Does the convenience project include furniture and equipment selection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The project includes space layout, furniture specification, gondolas, refrigerated counters, lighting, and POS equipment. We deliver a complete project for the operator to execute with suppliers of their choice or with our approved partners.

Question 15

Do you develop layouts for small stores (up to 30m²) and large ones (over 100m²)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve all sizes — from kiosks and compact stores to full convenience stores over 200m². The project is always adapted to the actual dimensions of the space and the profile of the local consumer.

Question 16

Does the project include food service areas (cafeteria, snack bar)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design food service areas integrated into the store layout, considering flow, equipment, health regulations, and visual merchandising.

Question 17

Is the lighting designed to highlight products and increase conversion?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The lighting project for the convenience store is developed considering color temperature, intensity, and direction to create an environment that stimulates purchasing and facilitates customer navigation.
