Biogas Digester Facilities

Specialized Agricultural And Energy-Adjacent Construction

Sentry specializes in the delivery of digester-ready, biogas, and renewable energy–supporting agricultural infrastructure, supporting facilities that require a high level of coordination, technical execution, and long-term operational awareness.

This work represents a distinct area of expertise within Sentry’s broader construction and self-perform capabilities. These projects are process-driven, equipment-intensive, and built to support continuous agricultural and energy-adjacent operations. Success depends on experience, planning, and the ability to coordinate complex scopes of work across multiple disciplines. That is where Sentry excels.

Built on Experience and Reputable Execution

Facilities that support anaerobic digestion and renewable energy systems share consistent demands:

  • Precise coordination between construction and process equipment
    • Long-lead, vendor-supplied systems, including overseas-manufactured components
    • Infrastructure designed for access, serviceability, and safe operation 
    • Structural systems that support platforms, piping, utilities, and equipment 
    • Electrical infrastructure integrated with specialized processing requirements 

Sentry’s teams understand these demands and approach each project with a repeatable, disciplined construction process developed through hands-on experience in this market.

Built For Long-Term Performance

Sentry approaches these projects with a clear understanding of how facilities will be used, accessed, and maintained over time.

Our focus is on building infrastructure that supports safe operations, reliable performance, efficient maintenance, and future adaptability.

Construction Delivery & Project Management

Sentry delivers these projects using collaborative delivery models such as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), providing early involvement, constructability insight, and cost certainty.

Our role commonly includes:

  • Preconstruction planning and constructability reviews
    • Budget development, cost tracking, and risk management
    • Construction sequencing for complex, multi-system facilities 
    • Trade partner, vendor, and equipment coordination 
    • On-site construction leadership through completion 

Dedicated Project Management teams lead these efforts, ensuring construction execution aligns with equipment delivery schedules, vendor requirements, and long-term operational considerations.

Self-Performed Capabilities That Support Facilities

Sentry brings added value to digester and renewable energy–supporting projects through self-performed work and integrated service support, allowing tighter control over schedule, quality, and coordination.

Electrical:
• Power distribution and facility electrical infrastructure
• Electrical systems supporting processing, material handling, and utilities
• Coordination with vendor-supplied equipment and systems

Manufacturing:
• Produces custom-fabricated components and assemblies to support digester and biogas facility construction.
• Supports process equipment integration through controlled shop fabrication and coordinated field delivery.
• Reduces installation time and rework by aligning fabrication with millwright and construction sequencing.

Mechanical:
• Installs and supports process piping, mechanical systems, and equipment critical to digester and biogas operations.
• Coordinates closely with millwright and electrical teams to ensure proper system integration and performance.
• Executes work in active facilities with a focus on safety, reliability, and minimal operational disruption.

South Dakota Service (SD Service) Support Capabilities

In addition to construction execution, Sentry supports these facilities through South Dakota Service (SD Service) capabilities that extend beyond project completion and into ongoing facility support when needed.

Applicable SD Service capabilities include:

  • Millwright services, including equipment support, alignment, and installation assistance
    • Crane and trucking services to support heavy equipment handling and logistics
    • Mechanical support, where applicable, including system tie-ins and process-adjacent work 
    • Emergency services for unplanned outages or urgent facility needs 
    • Maintenance and preventive maintenance support to help owners address service needs over time
  • Structural Steel:
    • Fabrication and installation of process platforms and access structures
    • Equipment support steel and framing
    • Walkways, stairs, ladders, and safety platforms
    • Structural systems supporting piping and mechanical equipment

These services are provided as needed and do not imply responsibility for day-to-day facility operations.

Vendor And Equipment Integration Experience

Digester and biogas facilities rely on specialized equipment and systems that must be carefully integrated into the construction process.

Sentry has extensive experience coordinating:

  • Vendor-supplied and owner-furnished equipment
    • Long-lead procurement and delivery schedules
    • Overseas-manufactured components 
    • Installation requirements tied to specialized systems 

This coordination is critical to maintaining schedule certainty and ensuring systems are installed and supported correctly within the facility infrastructure.
