Wenatchee Hydrogen Production & Fueling Facility Reaches Major Milestones

The hydrogen production team in Wenatchee has hit major milestones this year, including completion of the membrane roof system, installation of owner-supplied equipment, building finishes, and installation of electrical. The team completed interior and exterior pipe rack and exterior trench drain and is nearing completion of all HVAC, plumbing, and fire suppression systems. In the coming months, IMCO crews will begin installation of the PLC and controls and communication conduit and will complete site work, including concrete for the fueling station driveways and mechanical pipe installation. IMCO’s Jordan Johnson recently earned his crane operations certification and has been providing tremendous value on the project. “I have been able to work with Jordan on several projects over the years, and it’s cool to see him grow from being a laborer and now into his new position as crane operator. Jordan has been doing a great job at the hydrogen facility, running the crane for us and doing whatever else is needed for the project,” said Jonathan Bergford, project manager.

The project is scheduled to be complete by December of this year.

In late April, state legislators and stakeholders participated in a Mid-Columbia energy policy tour in Eastern Washington. The tour focused on Chelan County PUD, Douglas County PUD, and Grant County PUD assets and discussed the present and future of the PUDs’ efforts to ensure reliable and cost-effective energy solutions for nearby residential, commercial, and industrial clients. On April 25th, the group toured IMCO’s jobsite and the Hydrogen Production Facility project, which is the first phase of a $40 million buildout that will eventually be able to produce 80megawatts of green hydrogen.
