CHS : completes $10 million renovation of St. Paul...

Originally constructed in 1938, the St. Paul facility was rebuilt from the ground up to create a modern, efficient facility that reflects CHS strong commitment to safety. Major customer benefits of the new facility include storage capacity of 21,000 tons, faster load times, and ability of drivers to verify their load numbers without leaving their trucks.

'The St. Paul terminal now turns more loads and executes shipments efficiently and safely through its 400-tons-per hour capacity. We can load trucks in six minutes and railcars in less than 20 minutes,' says Rick Dusek, CHS vice president, Agronomy. 'It's bigger and faster for our customers, and safer for our employees and the adjacent river ecosystem.'

Other terminal improvements include wider conveyor belts, a new excavator bucket that holds three yards of material, double the previous terminal's storage capacity, a newly rebuilt dock, and a new winch system, all of which speed barge unloading times to under six hours. A new, larger cell hopper is two-feet higher to enable safe operations when river levels rise.

Dusek says the St. Paul terminal has long been a workhorse that northern tier customers will now find even more efficient. 'CHS is a leading crop nutrients supplier to ag retailers through an extensive sourcing, terminal and transportation network,' he says. 'Through our strong partnerships, asset expansion and exceptional logistics system, we can dependably deliver essential products that help our customers grow their businesses.'
