Woodyard Upgrades

Larson Engineering provides complete woodyard designs for new and existing pulp and paper facilities. Our multi-discipline services cover process engineering (P&IDs, flow and capacity analysis), general layouts, structural and material handling systems, as well as screening, storage, MCC, and electrical design. By integrating all disciplines, we deliver efficient, reliable woodyard solutions that improve throughput, enhance safety, and support long-term mill operations.

Project Description
This project involved modernizing an existing woodyard within a paper mill facility. The scope included the installation of two blended bed stacker-reclaimers, screening systems, and material handling infrastructure for both hardwood and softwood chips. A key requirement was developing a staged installation approach that enabled construction and commissioning activities to proceed without disrupting ongoing woodyard operations, ensuring uninterrupted mill production throughout the upgrade.
