About the Project
A farm operation acquired a grain elevator system, including a vertical grain leg and ten-bin diverter, for reuse on their property. Lovegreen was brought in to disassemble the structure, transport components, and reinstall it at the new site.
- Complete disassembly and reassembly of grain handling system
- Complex rigging, hoisting, and field welding required
- Involved structural steel fabrication and part tracking
- High volume of custom structural elements required precise planning
The Problem
The customer needed a qualified partner to relocate their investment without compromising the structural integrity or performance of the equipment.
- Unique, custom structure with no as-built drawings
- Required precision tracking of parts during disassembly
- Outdoor work meant variable weather and schedule risk
- Customer wanted full control over project pacing and flexibility from partner
The Solution
Lovegreen deployed a field-ready millwright crew with the skills and mindset to work flexibly and creatively on a non-standard project.
- Created a custom numbering system during disassembly to simplify reassembly
- Ensured structural elements and bin diverter system were reinstalled identically
- Used on-site field welding and fabrication to tie in sections
- Maintained close communication with the customer to adapt to scheduling windows and weather
Specialized Equipment Used:
- 40-ton boom truck crane
- 10K 55’ telehandler
- 80’ man lift with jib
- 135’ articulated man lift
- 56’ rough terrain scissor lift
