Regina-Viterra Inc. has announced two upgrades to its elevator network that will enhance its competitive position and drive further efficiencies in Western Canada’s grain handling system. Viterra will expand the storage of its North Battleford facility by 8,000 mt, bringing its overall capacity to 33,800 mt. At its Lloydminster elevator, Viterra plans to add 12,000 mt of storage for an overall capacity of 27,000 mt. The company will also increase its loading capability at Lloydminster, served by Canadian Pacific, to 112 railcars from 56. Overall, 90 percent of Viterra’s shipping capacity through its grain collection system operates with 50-100 car loaders. Construction work at the facilities is expected to begin in Spring 2011 and be completed by late Fall 2011.
