G3 Canada Limited partnered with FWS Group to expand grain storage capabilities at the G3 Hamilton terminal in Ontario. The project involved the addition of two new hopper bins, strategically placed to increase storage capacity and enhance the facility’s grain handling efficiency. Executed in just nine weeks using a streamlined design-build delivery method, the expansion supports growing operational demands while improving overall performance.

The project aimed to:

• Increase the terminal’s grain storage capacity to accommodate higher throughput.
• Enhance operational efficiency with new infrastructure.
• Ensure smooth and reliable grain handling processes.

The project incorporated advanced storage and conveying systems to achieve its goals:

• Two New Hopper Bins: Each bin, measuring 20’-11” in diameter, added a total of 805 metric tonnes (MT) of capacity. The design optimized storage for free-flowing grains with a density of 48 lbs per cubic foot.
• L-Shaped Reclaim Conveyors: Installed to transfer grain efficiently from the new bins, the conveyors streamline grain movement, reducing handling delays and maximizing productivity.
• Design-Build Delivery: The integrated design and construction approach ensured seamless project execution, accelerating delivery timelines while maintaining quality standards.
