Perdue Soybean Processing Plant | Bainbridge, PA
Stewart & Tate Construction was selected as the Construction Manager for this $65M project for the construction of a new Soybean Processing Facility in Lancaster County, PA.
Located on a 65-acre site, the plant consists of two distinct facilities: a grain elevator which will receive, dry and store soybeans, and a soybean processing plant which will prepare soybeans and separate them into three components: soybean meal, soybean oil and soybean hulls.
The plant will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation, and through the use of waste steam from Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority Waste-to-Energy Facility next door. Compared to current practices, Perdue’s project will result in a 72 percent net decrease in total emissions. And, with plans to process up to 17.5 million bushels per year, Perdue’s plant will eliminate the need to transport soybeans and finished product long distances.
During construction, upwards of 300 tradespeople worked in harmony to complete the project.
