Vanderwell Sawmill Site Improvements
For a number of years the operation at Vanderwell’s Mitsue Lake Sawmill was hindered by poor site conditions for storing logs and moving logs to the sawmill.  Morrison Hershfield was commissioned to review alternatives and prepare a conceptual design for gantry crane trackage, overall log yard and general site improvements. 
Once these alternatives were presented to the client and the best alternative for the operation selected, Morrison Hershfield proceeded with detailed design and assisted with ordering equipment and materials.  The necessary engineering input and guidance was provided for Vanderwell’s Earthworks and General Contracting Division so that the civil/trackage was completed on time for crane delivery and erection.  The project resulted in reduced log handling costs for the client, thus reducing input costs to the production of lumber.
