The story of the Superior Midwest Energy Terminal is a tale of virtually uninterrupted success. T he paint was barely dry on the place, in 1976, when the terminal gained recognition for the excellence of its design and construction. Plaques on a wall of Midwest Energy's office building speak volumes. One plaque recognizes the terminal as one of 10 outstanding engineering achievements in 1976, as determined by the National Society of Engineers. Another plaque names the terminal the country's outstanding civil engineering achievement as cited by the American Society of Civil Engineers in its 1977 competition.
Water cannons are a key to keeping dust to a minimum.
The water is recycled through the terminal's own filtering system. Not a drop goes into the harbor or Lake Superior. Mich. With exquisite and thoroughly deceptive grace, the terminal's equipment and staff make the process look almost that easy. This is a state of the art facility. We have a lot of crossover between jobs, with many people capable of doing more than one task.
