 Southdown California Cement LLC
Bulk Cement Loadout Facility
Victorville, California
To engineer and specify equipment for their new Bulk Cement Truck Loadout Facility at the River Plant in Victorville, California, Southdown California Cement LLC selected Roberts & Schaefer Company.
 The project consisted of the addition of three new truck loading lanes, including three new truck scales, a new 150-ton surge bin, new 850 ton per hour (TPH) bucket elevator, and new air slides to transfer cement from the existing silos to the new bucket elevator and surge bin. It included the tie-in from the existing
airslides to the new cement handling system, and a new dust collection system.
A new motor control center was designed to provide power to the new system. The existing control system was upgraded/modified to coordinate the new equipment with the existing equipment that reclaims cement from the existing silos. Roberts & Schaefer Company provided layout, mechanical, piping, civil, concrete, structural steel, chutework, and electrical engineering. The PLC programming and an automated truck loading and ticketing system were part of the project, but engineered
by others.
