This adaptive reuse project involves converting the existing structure to support biofuel production, leveraging waste starch from MGP’s food ingredients operations in Atchison, KS. MGP engaged McCownGordon to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the facility. Utilizing extensive laser scanning and 360-degree photography, McCownGordon created a detailed 3D model to inform the design and integration of new components necessary for the biofuel production process. This EPC project aims to transform an underutilized asset into a productive biofuel manufacturing facility, contributing to MGP’s sustainability goals and operational efficiency.

Partnering with McCownGordon on our biofuel expansion project has been a game-changer. During preconstruction, they introduced the latest laser scanning technology, providing us with an accurate picture of the existing facility down to the millimeter. This approach, which also incorporated 3D photography, significantly enhanced our existing facility's documentation, and helped us visualize how the new equipment fit into the space. Their proactive planning and innovative ideas saved us an incredible amount of time. McCownGordon streamlined the design process, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. We couldn't be happier with the results!"
