Broken Wheel Truck Stop
Refurbishing a Wyoming landmark
CGRS is completing the new diesel fueling system at Broken Wheel Truck Stop in Douglas, Wyoming. Broken Wheel is undergoing a complete upgrade of its diesel and automotive fueling systems. CGRS’s engineers and construction personnel have worked with Whitaker Oil from the conceptual phase of the project and are nearing completion of Phase I – the truck/diesel fueling system. We will soon move forward to Phase II – the construction of the new automotive fueling system.
Project Highlights
Truck fueling system:
- (2) 20,000-gallon, double-wall fiberglass underground storage tanks
- (1) 8,000-gallon DEF underground storage tank
- (7) fuel islands with diesel and DEF dispensing
- Size over size fiberglass piping
- Under dispenser containment sumps constructed of double-wall fiberglass
- Incon EVO 500 tank gauge for leak detection and tank inventory
- New fueling canopy, 28’ x 102’ x 16’ tall with LED lighting
Automotive fueling system:
- (2) 20,000-gallon, double-wall fiberglass underground storage tanks
- (5) fuel islands and dispensers
- Size over size fiberglass piping
- Under dispenser containment sumps construction of double-wall fiberglass
- New fueling canopy; 28’ x 136’ x 15’ tall with LED lighting
Advantages of the design-build process in a construction project:
- Collaboration: The owner, architect/engineer, and construction team work together to meet the owner’s project goals while keeping in mind design needs and project pricing.
- Accountability: Design/engineering and construction are performed by the design-build team, which gives the owner a single entity to hold responsible for design and construction.
- Cost savings: Value engineering and constructability reviews occur throughout the design and construction phases to give the owner the best value possible.
- Schedule: In a design-build project, the design and build phases often overlap, reducing the overall time of completion.
