Case Study
FASTECH has an extensive portfolio of CNG station construction, ranging from design-build to station expansion projects.
Shell sought to leverage FASTECH’s experience to design and build a site-specific refueling station to fill private fleets, while also establishing the framework for future CNG station development. FASTECH helped specify and purchase the major project equipment from ANGI Energy Systems, a leading supplier of CNG fueling equipment.
Shell’s Carson terminal project site presented the construction team with several challenges, like the buried obstructions uncovered during excavation and trenching operations. This site also required FASTECH to coordinate with Shell’s specialty pipeline and electrical utility contractors, who brought power and gas to the station from connection points several thousand feet away.
The project took approximately 8 months to design and permit, beginning in late 2020. The major equipment was purchased early in the design process to account for the long lead times for delivery.
FASTECH installed:
The location of the new CNG station serves the fleet of ethanol tanker trucks that make regular trips to the ethanol loading rack adjacent to the new CNG station. This allows trucks to refuel at the same location they are filling their tanks, saving time and money. Shell also benefits from the sale of RCNG, a renewable form of natural gas they are producing at plants along the West Coast.
