The fertilizer building foundation slab for Northside Elevator’s new 15,000-ton Fertilizer Project on Highway 29 in Stanley, Wisconsin, was placed on Tuesday morning, September 6th.
It took a crew of 50, supported by two large concrete pumps, to unload a continuous line of ready-mix trucks – approximately one every 5 minutes – to place and finish 1,000 cubic yards of concrete. The special concrete mix utilized a superplasticizer to help keep the concrete flowable and increase the strength with a low water to cement ratio. The slab included more than 482,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. The new fertilizer project will have a 300-ton blending tower on site and will reach a height of 140 feet tall when completed.
Since 1958, Stueve Construction has built more than 1,400 plants in the U.S. and Canada
