J.R. Simplot Company – Potato Solids Anerobic Digestor

Project included construction of two 27,000,000 gallon concrete potato solids digesters along with site piping, off site piping, a lift station and 6 buildings, which were completed under a design build contract. The anaerobic solids digesters reduce the amount of solid waste leaving the plant as well as produces biogas which is captured and utilized by the plant. Approximately 15,000 cubic yards of 4,000 PSI concrete; 4,000 cubic yards of 4,500 PSI concrete was poured along with approximately 2,480,000 lbs of rebar.

We also installed all of the underground piping to transport the biogas from the digesters back to the boiler plant.

The Raw Receiving Project consisted of the remodel of an existing 22,000 square foot potato receiving building and an addition of a new 3,160 square foot silt settling and rock roll off area.

The ND Ready Mix & Concrete Products Association presented Industrial Contract Services, Inc. with a 2012 Excellence in Concrete (Commercial Category) for their work on the Simplot Potato Solids Digester.
