Cement & Lime

Based on a long-term commitment to the minerals industry and experience in pyro-processing, UniField began serving the Cement & Lime industry in the Pacific Northwest in 1987. Since that time, we have forged strong service relationships with a number of leading western US and Midwest cement and lime producers wherein UniField provides studies, preliminary and detailed engineering, as well as procurement and construction administration, on small through major capital projects. Our service approach is to deliver high engineering quality and efficiency on every project.

While UniField brings a wealth of cement and lime process knowledge to a project, we are first and foremost a projects firm – one that is focused on delivering optimum return on client investment. Owners rely on our thorough and accurate studies and cost estimating to assist them in annual capital and major project budgeting. Our engineers are well versed in the latest equipment designs, regulatory mandates and plant operating benchmarks. UniField’s full-service staff has the experience and ability to complete all facets of process, electrical, mechanical and civil/structural design of small projects as well as major plant expansions and green field installations.

In addition to engineers and designers, we have a complete staff of procurement, scheduling and construction administration specialists - enabling UniField to assume full engineering responsibility for your project through startup. On major projects, our typical contracting approach is as the owner’s agent, wherein UniField holds engineering responsibility for the project from study through startup, commissioning and acceptance testing. For small capital projects, we most often team with the owner’s staff to achieve a flexible, low-cost delivery.
