We also provided engineering, design and installation for conduit and cabling for the process controls system; and we wired the lighting and emergency lighting system, fire alarm system, smoke detection, explosion detection and hazard monitoring setups.
The mill offers the most up-to-date monitoring and quality-control; swift and efficient packing and transportation options; and the ability to mill numerous wheat varieties. It accomplished everything ADM set out to achieve and more.
