Freedom Fields Salt Storage & Fueling Station

• Project typeFacility
• Project cost$4,500,000
• Project schedule2024–2025

Project purpose

The 750-ton salt structure at Freedom Fields is currently used by crews to reload trucks during winter events. But with population growth and increased lane miles in the western part of the community, it is no longer sufficient during a typical winter event. Replacing this structure with a larger structure will improve efficiency and response to these neighborhoods. As the community continues to grow, it is inefficient to have only one fueling station for staff to refuel vehicles and equipment. This additional fueling station will also improve fuel efficiencies and reduce staff travel time to refuel. 

Project description

The salt structure will be replaced with a new 2,000-ton fabric structure, enhanced calcium chloride tanks, and a new fueling station. The fueling station will have a rain canopy with self-contained double lined above ground tanks. New pavement will be placed, and the site will be fenced with access control capabilities. In addition, heavy landscaping will be placed around the site for additional screening from neighboring properties.
