Productivity Increased by 320%
Safe and efficient transport is essential when it comes to the ethanol export business. Jefferson Energy’s location in close proximity to a deepwater port in Beaumont is ideal for the unloading of railcars and transfer to tanks which then get exported overseas by vessel.
Using our proprietary design and engineering technology we determined that 30 unloading spots were necessary to justify the project. Our accurate budget numbers and concept made it easy for Jefferson Energy to sign on for the project.
We designed a seamless track and gangway system so railcars wouldn’t have to be decoupled while unloading. This was a huge time-saver and the customer was pleased with our adaptive ability to deliver the perfect loading solution. While most terminals take 3-4 hours to unload 15 railcars, this facility is now unloading 15, setting up the next 15, and unloading them in under 2.5 hours increasing productivity by 320%.
