The Kindred Terminal project will replace end-of-life grain storage and receiving assets, which should improve facility reliability and speed. Receiving speed will be increased by 10,000 bushels per hour while loadout speed will increase by 20,000 bushels per hour. Load time for shuttle trains is expected to decrease by six hours. The goal of the project is to improve speed, space and efficiency at the Kindred Terminal location.
The concrete foundation and mats have been poured, all unground work is done, and construction is ready for cold winter weather.
The wood structure on the concrete perimeter base are the slip forms that will be elevated up as concrete and rebar steel is put in place for the wall and roof structure. The placement of concrete into the slip forms will take place sometime in early 2026. Current work consists of installing conveyors, hoppers, chutes and slides under the poured concrete mats. The office and driveway structures will be erected in the next few weeks.
