Hull Coop - Sheldon Mill Project
Project Specifications
Industry
Feed Mill
Dollar Amount
$1,360,000
Completion Date
2025
Location
Sheldon, IA
Hull Coop purchased a long-idled feed mill in Sheldon, IA, and partnered with Interstates to transform it into a modern, reliable facility. The project required a full equipment change-out, strategic reuse of select infrastructure, and meticulous planning supported by Matterport scans and InterTrak. Interstates overcame challenges with outdated wiring, legacy gear, and PLC design, providing cost-conscious solutions that improved reliability and long term maintainability. The result was a revitalized, efficient mill that met operational goals while staying within budget.

Key Scope Components
Equipment Modernization & Infrastructure Upgrades:
Interstates replaced nearly all mill equipment while reusing select components, repulled all motor and control wiring, and optimized MCC placement for long-term reliability.
Planning & Virtual Design:
The team used a Matterport scan
for virtual walkthroughs to identify spatial clashes, support estimating, and guide demo versus reuse decisions to keep the project cost-effective.
Engineering Improvements & Controls Integration:
Critical PLC flaws were corrected with added input protection, conduits were reassigned and tracked in InterTrak, and remote wire checks were coordinated with overseas engineers to maintain schedule.
