    • Total storage is 1,360 tons.
    • Installing concrete hoppers and constructing all related floors, platforms, and structural items over the existing railroad tracks.
    • Square slipformed bins were chosen over conventional round diameter steel bins because a greater number of bins were able to be constructed in a very compact area.
