Mar 2010 - GLEADELL GRAIN TERMINAL
GLEADELL GRAIN TERMINAL - GT YARMOUTH
Welvent are providing the ventilation equipment for the new grain storage and drying facility for Gleadell's Agriculture at Great Yarmouth.
The store will use 4 x 90kw fans and big gas burners which will run on natural gas in the drying section of the store. The facility also has two big stirrer units.
The project is worth over £500K to Welvent, and work is substantially underway preparing the:
-
Laterals
-
Electric Consoles & Inverters
-
Fan Units
-
Stirrers
-
Burners
This is the second major project which Gleadell's Agriculture have used Welvent for, following the success of the new terminal at Immingham.
"Construction is now well on track despite the unusually severe winter" says Trevor Gates, Gleadell's East Anglian Regional Manager. "We can now look forward to completion ready for harvest, when we will provide an integrated operation on the site with a state of the art dryer, 18,000 tonnes of flat storage and a mobile ship loader capable of loading vessels up to 25,000 tonnes. Our grain terminal will give farmers in East Anglia and beyond a world-class facility without spending a penny of their own money, with no capital tied up, and without the double haulage costs incurred in all inland central stores as it is an end user destination".
