Project Overview
The project involved the construction of a large slipform concrete annex for wheat storage, along with a cleaner addition facility in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. This expansion was designed to enhance grain storage capacity and improve cleaning and distribution operations.
Project Goals
- Construct a 21,000 tonne slipform concrete wheat storage annex.
- Build a cleaner house with internal floors to support grain processing.
- Install six silos, each with a 38-foot diameter and a height of 130 feet 6 inches, integrated with the cleaner building.
- Provide a piled foundation to ensure structural stability.
- Implement a 100 metric tonnes per hour (mtph) grain cleaner system.
- Install new distribution and reclaim machinery to optimize material handling.
Technologies and Innovations
- Slipform concrete construction technique enabling rapid and durable silo and annex construction.
- Integration of large-capacity silos with advanced cleaner systems for efficient grain processing.
- Piled foundation designed to support heavy structural loads and ensure longevity.
- High-capacity cleaner system achieving 100 mtph throughput for improved grain quality.
- Modern distribution and reclaim machinery to streamline operations and material flow.
Results
- Delivered a robust wheat storage annex with a 21,000-tonne capacity, significantly increasing grain storage capabilities.
- Successfully integrated a high-throughput cleaner system improving grain quality and processing efficiency.
- Enhanced operational workflows with upgraded distribution and reclaim equipment.
- Project completed on time, meeting all structural, safety, and functional requirements.
This project highlights expertise in expanding grain storage and processing facilities using advanced slipform concrete construction and modern mechanical systems. The annex and cleaner addition improved storage capacity and operational efficiency, supporting large-scale grain handling operations effectively.
