GRAIN TERMINAL
Provost, Alberta, Canada

PCL Ibberson, a joint venture company of Ibberson International, Inc., provided turnkey services for this facility in Provost, Alberta, Canada.

This 18,000-metric-ton plant has a 140-foot-tall slipform concrete structure. The overall structure height of 230 feet includes truck and rail receiving and shipping, and a 3,000-square-foot office building.

The project features 40 bin separations, the six largest being 2,300 metric tons each, and a 3,000 bushel per hour (bph) primary cleaning and secondary or reclaim cleaning system. The cleaning cavity is cast within the structure and contains bins above and below the four cleaning floors.

Incoming grain can be received by truck using two 120-foot platform scales with a capacity of 24,000 bph or by rail using a tunnel conveyor at 12,000 bph.

Shipping is at 30,000 bph with a capability of loading 56 rail cars. All received and shipped grain is automatically sampled and conveyed to the control rooms.

Dust emissions are controlled by the use of enclosed drag conveyors and two independent 125-hp dust systems.
