Increased Storage To Meet Increased Yields
Steel grain storage was added to this cooperative's facility in several phases, including a 157’ diameter bin, (2) 105’ diameter bins, and (2) 62’ diameter bins, totaling 3,320,000 additional bushels. As each bin was constructed, it was built with potential future expansion in mind — optimal site layout and material handling integration.

Taking A Grain Facility To The Next Level
This aging grain terminal facility had untapped potential for this Midwest cooperative. ESI was hired to handle the series of expansion projects where (3) 90' diameter and (2) 105' diameter steel bins were added along with a new 30,000 BPH truck receiving/grain transfer system, dust system, and upgraded 30,000 BPH Hi-Roller transfer conveyors.

Facility and Neighborhood Revitalization
ESI transformed a row of run-down vacant houses into a major grain storage, truck receiving, drying, and rail loadout upgrade facility expansion. Phase 1 consisted of 1,725,000 bushels of steel storage, truck receiving, and 30,000 BPH material handling. Phase II added 775,000 bushels of storage, a manlift, and a 7,000 BPH dryer. A 50,000 BPH rail loadout scale followed soon after.

Greenfield With Multiple Expansions
In 2004 ESI transformed a vacant railyard into a state-of-the-art automated grain elevator with a 50,000 BPH rail loadout. Designed for future expansion, ESSI added additional steel and concrete storage, dust systems, receiving, and drying over the next 10 years. The facility now exceeds 6.8 million bushels of storage.

Tight Deadline Greenfield Design-Build
ESI was awarded this greenfield project in October 2012, started construction in November, and completed the entire facility in time for the July 2013 wheat harvest. Includes 2,475,000 bushels of storage, a 40,000 BPH rail loadout bulkweigher scale and a Donaldson dust filter.
