The Simplot Plant II expansion was executed utilizing a fast-track design-build delivery model. Our scope of work was for the engineering, procurement, construction, and pre-commissioning of the facility and included installation and tie-ins of all process equipment. The facility is in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba and is a state-of-the-art potato processing facility that included sanitary and food grade design, to provide long term, multi-decade food processing operations for our client.
The building footprint is approximately 450,000 sq ft, with almost half of the building area requiring an interstitial service space. The project was delivered in an accelerated time frame, with substantial completion and commissioning milestones being achieved.
Special features of the building including:
- A 95,000sf high density, low-oxy freezer that will hold over 15,000 pallet positions
- Process pre-treatment facilities
- Stainless steel under slab waste storage systems
- Structural floor system for the entire building footprint supported by over 4500 precast piles
- Freezer truck dock expansion
- Extended rail docks and rail storage
- Waste oil tank room
