Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While South Dakota may not strike one as an industrial powerhouse, the state nevertheless has industrial projects valued at about $1.5 billion presently under construction. With the state's strong agricultural sector, the Food & Beverage Industry leads other sectors in regard to spending, accounting for nearly half the value of all projects.
The Food & Beverage Industry's leading spending position is substantially accounted for by a large soybean processing project in Mitchell. South Dakota Soybean Processors (SDSP), based in Volga, is constructing a grassroot processing plant in Mitchell, about 100 miles southwest of the company's headquarters. SDSP processes different grades of soybeans, including GMO (genetically modified), non-GMO and organic. Construction of the new plant kicked off in late 2023 and is expected to be completed in the second half of next year, when the plant will begin ramping up to full processing capacity of 35 million bushels per year. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Food &Beverage Project Database can learn more by viewing the project report.
Another of the state's food sector projects garnering attention is the largest expansion in the history of Valley Queen Cheese (Milbank, South Dakota) at its Milbank cheese-processing plant. The expansion will increase the plant's current 200 million-pound annual cheese production capacity by about 50% and lift its annual milk-processing capacity from 1.8 billion pounds of milk to 3 million pounds. Valley Queen estimates that approximately 30,000 cows will be added to its service territory along the I-29 corridor over the next three years, prompting the expansion. After more than two years of construction, the project is expected to be completed toward the end of this year. Subscribers can click here to learn more.
Occupying second position in regard to the state's spending is the Pharmaceutical-Biotech Industry. Among the projects to kick off most recently in this sector is the South Dakota Department of Health's expansion of its public health laboratory in Pierre. In April, general contractor McGough Construction Incorporated (Saint Paul, Minnesota) broke ground on the Workforce and Education Center, a new two-story, state-of-the-art facility that will accompany the existing public health laboratory. The project entails renovating about 40,000 square feet of space and adding more than 40,000 square feet more. A substantial portion (about 60,000 square feet) will be dedicated to laboratory testing. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2026.

The Industrial Manufacturing Industry also has a substantial presence in the state. Among South Dakota's largest projects in this industry is RPM Innovations Incorporated's (Rapid City, South Dakota) expansion of its plant in Rapid City to increase the company's directed energy deposition (DED) capacity. DED is similar to a complex 3-D printing process that can be used to manufacture or alter parts by adding a material onto an existing surface and then melting it by various means. RPM employs a powdered substance that is melted with a laser beam. The project entails adding 45,000 square feet to the plant, allowing RPM to triple its DED capacity. The company aims to complete the project and begin moving in DED machines in early 2025.

One of South Dakota's most controversial projects of recent times also is undergoing an expansion. The Dakota Access Pipeline was constructed amid a great deal of protest from native populations and environmental groups. Having operated for a few years, operator Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (Dallas, Texas) is expanding the pipeline's capacity, entailing the addition of a new pump station near Harrisburg.
The project involves installing two 6,000-horsepower pumps to support an increase in carrying capacity from 600,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) to 1.1 million BBL/d. The facility is expected to be completed in the coming months. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Pipelines Project Database can learn more by viewing the related project reports.
