Interstates provided a full array of solutions to construct a greenfield meat processing plant for Riverbend Meats in Idaho Falls, ID. The initial contract was for our construction services only. As the project progressed, we solved scope gaps by pulling in additional disciplines such as operational technology (OT), control automation and design, instrumentation, control and electrical engineering, and arc flash studies.
