Custom Building Design

IVI offers the engineering expertise to design crop storage facilities that incorporate the best ventilation and climate-control systems available. State-of-the-art system features will create conditions to maximize your crop’s quality from post-harvest storage through storage release. We not only pursue and utilize the very best technology available, we collaborate with our customers, sales team, and service technicians in developing the best overall system to meet the specific and varied needs of our customers. We are adept with working with local construction suppliers in the U.S. and abroad.

Growers and processors use a range of building types and building materials, depending upon typical climate conditions and local tendencies. Building type is also dictated by method of storage inside, including pile or stacked bins. This is where our custom design can adapt to create an ideal, custom design in consideration of all relevant factors.

Below are examples of plans created for our customer’s specific crop storage needs. Each custom design option depends on how the product is being stored (example bulk or bins) with multiple options on how to distribute the air.

For bulk systems ventilation pipes are a common and economical option. If storage of pipes when not used is an issue, then an air floor is an easier approach.

For bin systems a slotted wall is a great way to circulate air. Other options include an air bag system or vent floor but required higher construction costs.

See our Projects gallery for more examples of our collaboration with a variety of customers or talk to your local IVI sales rep to see what IVI can do for you and your storage needs.
