Burlington, WA — November 2025 — Chad Fisher Construction (CFC) is proud to partner with the Port of Skagit County on the Granary Expansion Project in Burlington, a key investment in local agricultural infrastructure that supports farmers and grain producers across Skagit Valley.
The project, designed by Redding Design Build, expands the Port’s existing granary facility to allow tenants to dry locally sourced grain before processing, improving efficiency and supporting regional food systems in the county.
As the General Contractor and Civil Subcontractor, CFC led the coordination and installation of new grain-handling systems and their associated foundations. The expansion includes:
- Installation and erection of Port-purchased equipment, including (2) silos, a dryer unit, (3) augers, conveyance system, and a catwalk
- Fabrication and erection of a new conveyance support tower and custom transition components
- Concrete foundations for the silos, grain tower, dryer unit, and connecting flatwork to integrate with the existing structure
- Power and gas utility connections to support the new dryer and conveyance system
- Storm modifications to adjust existing storm infrastructure to align with the new equipment layout.
Several trusted subcontractors contributed to the success of the project:
- Langco – Concrete
- Industrial Resources Inc. (IRI) – Steel supply and erection
- Nordic Temperature Control – Gas
- Primac Electric – Electrical
- Sound Development Group (SDG) – Surveying
Notice to proceed was given May 28, 2025, with the duration of the project lasting just over 4 months. The substantial completion date was marked October 8, 2025. This project was successfully completed on time and according to budget.
This investment strengthens the Port’s role in supporting local agriculture and enhances the region’s grain-handling capabilities. The project aligns with the Port’s mission to foster economic growth through sustainable development and partnerships.
