THE CHALLENGE:

As a family-owned and operated business, East Lynn Fertilizer sought a quality storage solution -- crafted to withstand fertilizer's highly corrosive properties - at a reasonable cost. The company needed a structure that was customizable, allowing enough space to accommodate conveyors, large vehicles, and on-site personnel.

Located on the rail line in East-central Illinois, Calhoun ensured that the building was fully tailored with the dimensions and structure style needed to meet East Lynn's unique requirements,which included an office space.

THE SOLUTION:

Overall, customizability and cost-efficiency remained top priorities for the customer. Calhoun engineers included a customizable leg height, a vertical mixer, and an office space inside the building for personnel to closely monitor activities on-site. To combat the primary concern of corrosion, Calhoun included hot-dipped galvanized steel frameworks to avoid the pitting, rust and damage traditional storage buildings commonly suffer.
