In Fort Macleod, Alberta, Hanse Steel Group delivered a highly efficient building for Arjazon Seed Trading Ltd., a company specializing in the cleaning, processing, and packaging of grains and pulses. This project addressed the need for reliable building in a region known for its extreme weather conditions, ensuring that Arjazon’s products are kept at optimal conditions for long-term storage and processing. The facility was built using advanced insulation technology and durable steel construction.
The purpose of this project was to provide Arjazon Seed Trading with a modern building designed to withstand Canada’s harsh climate while maintaining the quality of stored grains and pulses. By using high-quality sandwich panels and painted steel, the facility ensures that temperature changes do not affect the integrity of the products, reducing spoilage and preserving quality. The storage facility also contributes to Arjazon’s ability to operate more efficiently and effectively, supporting them with the storage solutions they need for a sustainable agricultural future.
Hanse Steel Group’s innovative approach combined durable materials with practical design to address the challenges posed by extreme weather. The building’s insulated sandwich panels, with their PIR core, offer outstanding thermal protection, keeping the interior temperature stable despite external fluctuations. These panels are commonly used in cold storage facilities, ensuring they maintain their high insulation value even after years of use.
Hanse Steel Group’s team worked closely with local contractors, ensuring the project was completed on time despite the challenging weather conditions, including temperatures as low as -20°C and strong winds. The construction was finalized in 2017, with a subsequent expansion in 2021 to further increase Arjazon’s operational capacity. This collaboration between Hanse Steel’s experts and local labor ensured that the facility was built efficiently.
The successful completion of the facility and its subsequent expansion demonstrate the effectiveness of high-quality, climate-resistant structures for Canadian farmers. Hanse Steel Group’s commitment to durable, sustainable construction practices has positioned them as a leader in the agricultural building sector, paving the way for future developments in agricultural infrastructure.
