Richardson plans new high throughput elevator
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA - Richardson International Limited announced on Dec. 11 plans to build a new
high throughput grain elevator to replace its current facility in
Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada. The new Richardson Pioneer elevator will have a total of 25,000 tonnes of storage for grains
and oilseeds.
"The Dauphin area is an important market for us, and we have a
solid, loyal customer base there," said Darwin Sobkow, executive
vice-president, Agribusiness Operations and Processing. "This
shows our long-term commitment to the area and ensures our ability to continue to serve our customers."
The new elevator will include 10,000 tonnes of storage space
and will replace the 5,750-tonne wooden crib elevator currently
on the site. The build will incorporate 15,000 tonnes of existing
steel bin storage, upgrading the receiving and shipping speed to
match that of the new elevator. It also includes a high capacity

grain dryer, cleaner and 104-car spot.
Construction of the new elevator will begin in April 2015. The
project will take approximately 16 months and is expected to be
complete in August 2016. Richardson will build a temporary receiving and shipping system at the Dauphin site to provide customers with a continued delivery option over the 16-month construction period.
Richardson acquired the Dauphin elevator in 2007 from Agricore United with the intention to upgrade and enhance the facility
as part of a continued, long-term investment in its Richardson
Pioneer network of facilities.
"Richardson has an ongoing, aggressive commitment to furthering our investment in agriculture in Western Canada," said
Sobkow. "We will continue to enhance our business and look for
new opportunities to grow to meet the needs of our customers at
home and in world markets."
