G3 Announces Plans to Build New Elevator in Saskatchewan
G3 Canada Limited (G3) announced plans to build two new elevators in Western Canada, and one of them will be in Saskatchewan.
Construction of the new elevators in Wetaskiwin, Alberta and Maidstone, Saskatchewan are scheduled to commence in April, subject to receiving regulatory approval, and both are slated for completion prior to the 2019 harvest.
“We’re excited to be able to show farmers in the Wetaskiwin and Maidstone areas what G3 has to offer their business,” G3 CEO Karl Gerrand said in a news release. “Farmers near both new facilities will benefit from G3’s service model, providing fast truck turnaround and strong delivery opportunities.”
According to the news release, both new elevators are being built with 42,000 tonnes storage capacity. The elevators will also be equipped with a highly efficient loop track system, and will help supply G3 Terminal Vancouver when the next-generation grain export terminal becomes operational in 2020.
Construction on G3’s other primary elevators remains underway in Saskatchewan, near Saskatoon and Melville. Both are expected to be operational in summer 2018.
