CNG PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE UPGRADES:
Many cities are looking at the option of natural gas vehicles. With new federal funding available and an obvious cost savings over a diesel or gasoline powered fleet, it is a viable choice. However the garages where these busses or other vehicles are serviced, do need to be modified. Below are some details of a CNG PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE UPGRADE we did for the City of Nashua NH.
Scope of Work
Design-Build a NFPA and Bus-Garage Code Compliant separated CNG Repair Bay in the BPW Garage, 9 Stadium Dr. Nashua, NH; the upgrade of the garage bay (2500 SF) included common separation walls, doors and glazing meeting 2 HR Fire Rating; provide an intrinsically safe area in 18″ space below ceiling and a Gas Detection and Control System. Specifically:
*Separation Walls – 2 Hr Fire Rated :

> 14’ W OVHD Common Door/3 Hr Rated with Explosion proof motor and fire links
> 2 Hr Rated Mandoors

*Wall & Roof Exhaust Fans to Provide Five(5) Air Changes per Hour (ACH)

*Gas Monitoring and Control System

Project was Federally Funded and Construction was Davis-Bacon Act Wage Rate compliant.
Work was 100% bonded.
Also, this Design & Build Project was completed on-time, at Contract Cost (no change orders) and with quality workmanship. The quality, detail and responsiveness of the Design-Build Team and the outstanding cooperation of the BPW Garage Staff promoted the successful Project Delivery.
We would be pleased to provide services for your CNG Garage Upgrade.
