Featured Project
Canola Crush Processing Facility — Rail Emphasis
Design a conventional and specialty canola seed processing facility capable of processing 850,000 metric tons of canola per year and connect two Class 1 railways, one of which was located on the opposite side of a heavily traveled provincial highway.
From the arrival of raw materials
to shipping as finished products, efficient distribution protects your operations and reputation.
