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.
Starting to remove the slip forms from atop the elevator. Currently working in the basement on electrical and equipment install. Receiving shed is getting enclosed. Things are moving along nicely.
You probably do not notice many differences from the last picture. Most of the work on the elevator construction is currently on the roof and in the basement. The receiving shed getting covered with tin – the progress remains on course!
Vigen has completed pouring concrete on the slip form elevator at the Kindred construction site in seven days. We appreciate their commitment to employee safety while keeping the build on schedule. The next steps will be to remove the slip forms and other items used in construction from the top of the elevator.
Construction is going well. We have reached 43 ft in height, approximately 1/3 of the final height. The weather looks good – expecting good progress over the next four days.
Seeing good progress as we start day two pouring concrete for the Kindred elevator. Concrete is starting to show below the forms.
Great day for CHS! The first cement trucks have arrived on site in Kindred. Once they start pouring cement it will be continuous for 24 hours a day. The slip elevator pour will take approximately seven days.
Construction progress continues with the Kindred elevator project. The receiving building is taking shape and electrical equipment is being installed in the MCC building. The slip forms are in the final stages of completion; they are being enclosed so they can be heated during the construction.
Kindred elevator construction continues. The slip forms are being enclosed in plastic; the deck area will be heated during construction.
