DuBois Construction Salt

Shed

Middlesex, Vermont

This 85′ x 240′ pre-engineered steel building includes galvanized structural members and was designed to accommodate a rafter hung conveyor system.  Salt delivered to the site via rail is emptied into a hopper structure and onto the conveyor, which is equipped with a dual tripper for even load distribution.

This was a fast tracked project.  Construction was begun on August 17, 2020 and the facility was operational October 14th for the first scheduled rail delivery of salt.  The 1,016 yards of concrete included 14″ thick, 8′ high kicker walls and 6″ reinforced slab.  The steel was erected in six days and weather tight in another twelve.  The conveyor installation took two weeks and was commissioned and operational for the first delivery.
