WMATA Metrobus-Bladensburg CNG Station

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority retained RGB to provide construction documents, survey damage, and make recommendations to repair and convert two buildings at its Metrobus-Bladensburg Division to house a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station capable of refueling a new 100-bus fleet of gas-powered urban transit buses.

The modifications and upgrades totaled $12 million and involved gas protection, fire proofing, life safety code compliance, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, some plumbing and roofing, and considerable gas/fire protection equipment. The intent was to convert the facilities to house CNG-powered vehicles.
