GRAIN ELEVATOR PROJECT
Cemstone and Stateline Cooperative have seamlessly collaborated on the slip form grain elevator project in Algona, IA. StateLine Cooperative, an agricultural cooperative in Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota, planned to build two silo grain elevators in Algona, Iowa, and enlisted Cemstone to provide the ready-mixed concrete. The slip form grain elevator project commenced on May 7th and continued until May 13, 2024.Â
-2,500 of the 5,500 total cubic yards were allocated to the slip form portion of the project.
-Algona and Emmetsburg operations ran two shifts, morning and night, to continuously deliver to the project.
-Contractor: Empire AG, a design-build general contractor specializes in agricultural and industrial construction.
-The project is expected to be completed and fully operational by the end of August 2024.
Cemstone supplied ready-mixed concrete continuously for 24 hours a day to ensure the project’s completion. Due to the operational demands of this continuous pour, the Algona and Emmetsburg teams partnered to seamlessly switch plants as needed which resulted in a very satisfied customer.
Slip forming, also known as continuous pouring or continuously formed construction, is a method where concrete is poured into a continuously moving form. This technique is used for constructing tall structures such as bridges, towers, buildings, dams, and grain bins.
