In 2006 ADM announced it would add on to its existing corn-milling plant in Cedar Rapids, IA with a $348 million dollar dry-grind mill. This mill produces 275 million gallons of ethanol per year. VAA was hired as part of a design/build team to design 2.43 million bushels of additional corn storage for the new dry-grind mill. This involved the design of a grain elevator with five 76 foot   diameter silos, truck, rail receiving, and a dust silo. 

After completing the design of this area, ADM added several items to our scope to help them complete this project. These included a 400 foot long corn transfer bridge, as well as a 375 foot long cooler bridge.

Our success on this project allowed VAA the opportunity to work with ADM again. VAA takes pride in developing a relationship of trust and confidence with each of our clients while providing quality service.
