Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) is one of the world’s largest agricultural processors and food-ingredient providers. Founded in 1902, ADM has been transforming crops into products for more than a century. It was a high-pressure job. It was this the largest KE project to date, and it was going to be a vital cog in the local economy, not to mention the country’s food supply chain. To pull it off, we had to provide engineering, design, procurement, installation, start-up, and commissioning for: • 35 kV distribution system • 480-volt power distribution • Industrial Ethernet network • Process controls system install • Facility lighting We also provided engineering, design and installation for the conduit, wired the lighting and emergency lighting system, fire alarm system, smoke detection, explosion detection, and hazard monitoring systems. The new construction project also included: • More than 140 acres. • A loop track with 110-car shuttle rail unloading capacity. • Three milling units with centralized monitoring to ensure performance, consistency, and security of supply. • Three bulk truck loadouts and rail loadout capability. • A high-speed packer and a 30,000-squarefoot warehouse. • A brand-new lab with the most up-to-date quality control equipment. • An onsite transportation company, including a truck wash and an advanced truck facility utilizing RFID technology to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
