Allied Mills Flour & Maize Mill

Executive Project Management was introduced to Allied Mills four months after the project had commenced. Allied Mills is a joint venture between Grain Corp Australia and Cargill (USA), the largest privately owned food company in the world.

This was the first Greenfield Flour & Maize Mill built in Australia in 50 years. The project encompassed the construction of Mills A, B & C — all multi-storey high Grain Silos using slip form construction technique, Storage Warehouses including Racking Systems, Weighbridge and Concourse Works, Maize Silos, Underground Conveyor Systems, and 2 kilometres of Rail Siding including Switching and Signalling Works for freight trains over 500 metres long.

Our Role

Outcome
