Silo Design

attention to detail is a must when it
comes to a successful project. As a
supplier we must first understand the
needs of the customer. The heres one I
made earlier approach to grain storage
projects has become a thing of the past.

the country's relevant seismic standards.
All silos will need to be built a great deal stronger to cater for
the horizontal loading at ground level and it is far better to keep
the silos height down. Silos that are shorter and wider are far
better than those that are tall and thin. When seismic activity
strikes, a structure that has a larger base area is more likely to
withstand the pressures and remain intact.
If you have a taller and thinner structure, this presents a huge
amount of stress to the lower sections of the silo, which will
ultimately result in the collapse of this structure. Due to the fact
that the magnitude of earthquakes varies greatly, all of our silos
are individually designed to suit each areas requirements and
regional norms.
