Ethanol Facility Design Services

During a period of rapid expansion in ethanol production, Pacific Ethanol set out to become a leading marketer and producer of low‑carbon renewable fuels, requiring new and upgraded facilities across multiple states. TKDA provided ongoing engineering services for projects in Oregon, California, and Idaho, managing local design firms and delivering multidisciplinary expertise in mechanical, electrical, structural, and site/civil design, along with rail planning, utility, and roadway design. The team addressed complex site challenges, including access constraints, stormwater management, soil conditions, utility and railroad coordination, and limited work hour windows. Through strategic design and coordination, TKDA delivered facilities that enabled efficient ethanol production and distribution while supporting Pacific Ethanol’s long‑term operational and sustainability goals.
