Material handling/shipping and weighing facilities
Unique Challenges
All agri-industry storage bins and silos are large and must withstand the pressure of the contents.
The size of silos and bins and weight of feed stock material combined with soil conditions can complicate foundation design.
Process design, plumbing, piping and waste water handling are unique to the biofuels industry.
Many facilities use interstitial "bubble bins" between two larger slipformed silos that add complexity to the design of the structures.
Solution
Larson has developed proprietary software to solve the complicated engineering required for bubble bins.
Because we’ve done extensive work in this industry, we possess a large library of effective solutions for the challenges our clients encounter.
Many of our biofuels engineers have construction experience; we know how to develop field-friendly drawings and we are constantly innovating ways to save money on construction costs.
