Malt-O-Meal Company
Plant 2, Northfield, Minnesota

This four-story 900,698 S.F. facility, located in Northfield, Minnesota, is the flagship for Malt-O-Meal ready-to-eat cereal production.  PDG’s staff has designed over 664,532 S.F. of major expansions at this location and numerous remodeling projects.

The last major addition, Phase 10/11/12, 353,806 S.F. is typical of all projects for which PDG has provided planning, architectural design, and engineering services. Designed as a fast-track project, an aggressive construction schedule required innovative design solutions – good solutions would permit full production capability in less than 16 months. Structural precast concrete beams, columns, floor plank and wall panels were utilized providing a clean, fire proof structure that can be quickly erected, allowing the project to be completed four months ahead of schedule. PDG received a National Award for Best Industrial Facility from the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI). The judges said…"This is an excellent use of structural precast concrete, including beams, columns, and insulated exterior wall panels to create an industrial building on an intense fast-track schedule. It’s a very competent project."  During the design and construction of Phase 10/11/12, PDG was consulting engineer for a four-story 81,600 S.F. office building, which is connected to the main production facility.
