New-construction site work for grain systems — grain bin foundation excavation and pad prep, dryer and leg pads, scale pits and approaches, truck driveways and aprons, site grading and drainage. The local dirt sub for farm bins and co-op elevators across the 60-mile radius from Mattoon.
(217) 809-0779 📞 Free EstimateA full grain bin is one of the heaviest loads you'll ever set on a farm — tens of thousands of bushels bearing straight down through the foundation into the ground. If the pad under it isn't cut to plan and compacted right, the foundation moves, and a foundation that moves under a loaded bin is a problem you can't fix without emptying it. The dryer, the leg, the tower, and the scale all have the same demand: a base that doesn't settle.
We're the dirt work behind the steel and concrete — the excavation, the pads, the pits, the approaches, and the drainage that a grain system sits on. We work to the millwright's or bin supplier's foundation drawings, so the concrete crew pours on a pad that's right. It's the same discipline we bring to pole barn pads and foundation digs, scaled up to a grain setup. And this is new-construction site prep — if you're taking an old bin down, that's our grain bin removal crew.
Strip, excavate, and build the pad the bin foundation sits on — cut to plan elevation, subgrade compacted in lifts, rock base set to the concrete crew's spec. Single farm bin or a multi-bin row.
Dryer, bucket-elevator leg, tower, and hopper pads to plan. Scale pit excavation to the supplier's dimensions, with level approaches on each end so loaded trucks weigh square.
Driveways, aprons, and lanes on a compacted rock base that carries loaded grain trucks — plus site grading and drainage so water leaves the pad instead of standing under the bins.
Yes. We strip, excavate, and build the pad your bin foundation sits on — cut to plan elevation, subgrade compacted in lifts, and the rock base set to the concrete crew's spec.
Yes. Grain dryers, bucket-elevator legs, support towers, and hopper tanks all need their own well-compacted pad to plan elevation. We build them and tie them into the rest of the site.
Yes. We excavate the pit for a pit-style truck scale to the supplier's dimensions and build the level approaches on each end so loaded trucks roll on and off square.
Yes. Loaded grain trucks are hard on a driveway. We build the approaches, aprons, and lanes on a compacted rock base that carries the traffic in and out of the bins and the dump.
Yes. We're the local dirt sub. We work to the plan your millwright, bin supplier, or GC hands us, match elevations to their foundation drawings, and schedule the earthwork so the concrete and steel crews can step right in.
Both — farm grain setups and commercial co-op elevator sites. Whether it's a single farm bin or a multi-bin elevator expansion, the site work is the same discipline: excavate to plan, compact, and grade to drain.
It depends on scope — number and size of pads, pit depth, cut and fill, soil, haul, and access all move the number. The right way to price it is a walk on the site. Call (217) 809-0779 for a free on-site estimate.
