Project Summary

DR Anderson constructed two new public Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) filling stations and completed upgrades to MUD’s private existing fleet fueling facility. The public filling stations are a first for the Omaha Metro area and when constructed were the only public fueling stations between Chicago and Denver along the I-80 corridor.

This alternative fuel project required specialty equipment and materials to withstand the high pressures required to fuel CNG vehicles. Equipment lead times and material availability required detailed scheduling and planning by DRA and its project partners.

During Construction, several scope changes were made due to unforeseen site conditions. Additional design changes were made for improved structural support, communications, and ease of use for the general public. Even with the added work, DRA was able to maintain the project schedule and complete work as scheduled.
