Shambaugh & Son Project for Dairy Farmers of America Named 2018 Sustainable Plant of the Year

EMCOR State-of-the-Art Project – Largest Single Milk Dryer in North
America Receives Prestigious Industry Award for Vertically Integrated
Project Delivery

FORT WAYNE, Ind.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) milk plant in Garden City, Kansas has
recently been named “Sustainable Plant of the Year” by Food
Engineering magazine for its new state-of-the-art, 267,000 square
foot whole and skim milk powder drying facility, the largest single milk
dryer in North America. The award recognizes the plant’s outstanding
sustainable engineering features that go above and beyond industry
standards, designed and built by Shambaugh
& Son, L.P
. utilizing the company’s vertically integrated
project delivery model.

"We are delighted that the Dairy Farmers of America Garden City plant
was selected as 2018 Sustainable Plant of the Year by Food Engineering
magazine. It is a tremendous honor and a testament to the entire
Shambaugh team’s ability to design and complete a highly complex and
demanding project,” stated Paul Meyers, Jr., CEO, Shambaugh & Son.

The 156-acre greenfield site in Garden City, Kansas fulfills a key
sustainable strategy by providing a local home for farmers’ milk in
Southwest Kansas; many local farms were previously sending their milk to
other areas of the country. From the moment a tanker truck enters the
plant, it takes less than 68 minutes to off-load the milk, clean the
truck, and test the milk (while in the past a tanker may be gone for
days, now the same tanker returns to the dairy in the same day, thereby
drastically reducing hauling and trucking costs, as well as conserving
energy and resources).

The highly automated, energy- and water-efficient facility was designed
to operate 24/7. Unique features include:

  • Advanced bio security, eliminating potential risks through
    implementation of varying hygiene zones, HEPA filters within the
    plant, and minimal manual contact with the product.
  • Numerous environmental safeguards designed into the system, such as a
    diffusion tank which allows trace emissions from the relief valve to
    be captured to ensure no contaminants are released into the atmosphere.
  • Onsite waste water treatment plant where water is treated and recycled
    for irrigation.
  • Built-in redundancies that allow the plant to operate continuously.
