FASTECH Builds a Fourth Hydrogen Refueling Station for ICA

Corona, CA
The fourth of six projects in ICA’s first hydrogen refueling station program in North America.
Provides Hydrogen Fuel Source
The station will expand Iwatani’s hydrogen refueling network into Riverside County for Inland Empire commuters.
Encountered Subsurface Items
Unmarked subsurface items were encountered during construction. FASTECH safely resolved these issues without delaying the project.

The Project

The project’s scope entailed building retail hydrogen refueling station infrastructure at an active petroleum gas station using NEL-supplied equipment.

This station will be the first retail hydrogen station in Corona and is the fourth of six projects in ICA’s first hydrogen refueling station program in North America. It adds a critical refueling point for fuel cell vehicle drivers who reside in the surrounding area or travel on the adjacent 91 freeway.

Why FASTECH?

FASTECH has worked with Fiedler Group for many years. Fiedler Group handled the design and permitting on this project, engaging FASTECH to construct the station.

Iwatani’s development team had previously worked with Fiedler Group and FASTECH on other hydrogen projects and recognized the team as key players in rolling out their first retail hydrogen refueling station program. Fiedler Group and FASTECH successfully completed the first three projects of this program in Hawaiian Gardens, Seal Beach and Anaheim.

The Technology

FASTECH used a proven NEL proprietary system comprised of:

  • Two station modules
  • Two dispensers under a new canopy
  • An offload cabinet and HMI for deliveries
  • An assembly of Tenaris high-storage vessels
  • All ancillary equipment to support the new station, including a site emergency shutdown system and security cameras

The Results

The project broke ground in January 2022 and was substantially completed in June 2022. The new hydrogen station is currently being commissioned by the equipment manufacturer.

This project is one of several planned hydrogen refueling stations for ICA, and will demonstrate the demand for additional hydrogen refueling infrastructure in California. The project finished on time and within the budget of the original scope items.
