Taconite plants, pellet lines, and steel operations run on tight windows and heavy structural work. We have been the contractor Iron Range operators call for scrubbers, conveyors, and structural upgrades for decades.
Iron Range work does not stop for weather, and it rarely stops for construction either. Plants are designed to run continuously, which means most of what we build gets built around an operating production line, not instead of one. That is a different discipline than greenfield construction, and it is the one our crews have practiced longest.
Minntac gallery conveyor rebuild
Structural and civil work engineered and scheduled to hold up through an Iron Range winter, not just a mild-season build.
Most upgrades happen around an operating plant, not a shut-down one. Sequencing has to protect the production schedule.
Conveyor galleries, scrubbers, and processing structures carry loads that do not tolerate an undersized foundation or a rushed erection sequence.
A gallery conveyor rebuild at an operating taconite plant, staged and sequenced so pellet production continued through the structural work, then re-tied into the process line on a schedule the plant had already committed to.
Yes, cold-weather construction is standard practice for us, not an exception. We schedule and engineer for it.
Yes, conveyor systems, scrubbers, and pellet plant structures are recurring scopes for our mining and steel clients.
We sequence structural and mechanical work in coordination with your operations team, so production is interrupted as little as possible.

Fifty-plus documented projects across seven markets. We will tell you where we have done something like it before.
