City of Mendota Heights, MN, Salt Storage Shed
John Boland, public works superintendent, needed to replace an old, inefficient storage facility with a new salt storage shed.
Width: 65'
Length: 70'
Loading and unloading salt at our old storage facility was very inefficient with its limited access and a safety concern with its poor visibility. Our new building has changed our operational efficiency and safety dramatically.
The new storage shed is large enough to permit trucks to back in and dump salt inside the building and enables us to pull the plow trucks in for quick loading. The lighting, ventilation, visibility, and space the building gives us makes for a safe, efficient environment. This shed also helps us comply with our MS4 permit for storing, loading, and unloading salt.
If another jurisdiction is looking for a new salt storage building, I would recommend looking into one from Greystone — the new building is everything we envisioned it to be. Greystone met with us on-site several times to determine proper size and location. When the city awarded Greystone the contract, Greystone gave us engineered drawings, a build date and duration. They worked seamlessly with us and our parking lot contractor to get the project completed without any delays. We were so pleased with every aspect of the project from initial planning meetings through completion.
