Andersons Ethanol
Energy, Industrial / Manufacturing | 100,000+ SF | Multi-Phase Delivery
Project
Overview
Steinberger Construction has served as a trusted partner to Andersons, delivering a series of ethanol production facilities across multiple locations. Each site was designed and constructed to meet the complex demands of large-scale energy production—balancing performance with regulatory compliance, and adaptability with long-term durability.
With more than 100,000 square feet of total construction, the projects required a range of solutions, including structural steel erection, pre-engineered metal buildings, and custom infrastructure tailored to ethanol handling, storage, and processing. All phases were executed under heightened safety awareness due to the volatile nature of ethanol and the need for blast-resistance and fire mitigation.
Highlights:
Over 100,000 SF of ethanol production infrastructure across multiple sites
Pre-engineered and structural steel buildings designed for hazardous environments
Blast-resistant features and process-specific construction elements
Complex mechanical and electrical systems for ethanol processing
Built-in scalability to accommodate future production increases
Coordinated with client safety officers and regulatory agencies
Delivered under strict hazardous environment safety protocols

Safety & performance
Working with flammable and explosive materials introduced a level of complexity that demanded precision and accountability at every step. Steinberger deployed safety-forward construction strategies—including controlled site access, specialty containment systems, and ventilation features—to support both regulatory compliance and long-term operational stability.
The facilities included advanced MEP installations, material-specific containment, and infrastructure built for high-volume, continuous operation—ensuring that each plant could function safely, efficiently, and with the flexibility to grow alongside production needs.
Execution &
Compliance
Steinberger worked closely with The Andersons’ safety officers and third-party regulatory consultants to ensure that all construction activities aligned with federal, state, and industry-specific standards. Staging, sequencing, and labor coordination were all designed to reduce risk and streamline progress while maintaining a consistent safety culture across each project site.
Partnership
In Action
This multi-site collaboration demonstrates Steinberger’s ability to lead mission-critical construction in highly regulated, high-risk industrial settings. The Andersons’ continued trust in our team reflects our responsiveness, our technical depth, and our track record of delivering essential infrastructure that fuels energy production across the region.
