JBLM Alternative Fuel Facility

This project involved the construction of an Alternative Fueling Facility with all the necessary site improvements, controls, lighting, storage, stormwater conveyance, and dispensing equipment for a fully functional facility. The Alternate Fuel Facility includes a refueling island with a canopy covering fuel pumps with ethanol, bio-diesel, and two Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to accommodate cars and buses. The project also includes underground fuel storage tank vaults, 17,000 SF of paving, and a 900 SF landscape island.

AHBL’s landscape design services comprised of a planting and irrigation design for the entire 4.6-acre site, which included a rain garden, bio-infiltration pond, and landscape islands while utilizing drought-tolerant, low-maintenance plant material selected from the JBLM-approved plant species list.

The civil design included a catch basin and conveyance pipe to collect onsite runoff from the refueling island and paving. The conveyance pipe connects to a stub which discharges to an oil and water separator prior to discharge to a Bio-Infiltration Pond. The paving east of the refueling island will flow to offsite paving and storm system that discharges to a rain garden. Structural services consisted of reviewing the 4,450-SF pre-engineered metal refueling island canopy design.
