US-based Frey Construction is nearing completion of the installation of a new grain storage silo at the Marion Grain Elevator facility in Britton, Michigan. As part of the project, a Behlen-brand silo measuring 19 × 26 metres is being installed, with the aim of increasing the facility’s storage capacity by approximately 250,000 bushels (6,800 tonnes).

The Frey Construction team, which is involved in the project with its expertise in grain storage and facility infrastructure, has reached the final stage of the installation. The new silo will be added to Marion Grain Elevator’s existing storage infrastructure. The facility currently consists predominantly of Behlen-brand silos.

Ron Roehm, Chairman of Marion Grain Elevator, stated that his experience with various well-known brands had influenced his decision to prioritise reliability when selecting storage equipment. Roehm’s assessment, in which he noted that they continue to favour the Behlen brand, highlights the link between equipment selection in grain storage facilities and long-term operational experience.

Austin Schmucker, Marcus Miller and David Gorrell were involved in the installation work carried out by Frey Construction. In the final stage of the project, the team continued their work to complete the installation of the new silo.

This project at Marion Grain Elevator stands out as one of Frey Construction’s applications in grain storage infrastructure, and the new capacity is expected to expand the facility’s storage capabilities.
