Silo Inspections
Trust Our Professionals to Keep Your Silos Safe and Operational
Professional silo inspections are vital for ensuring the safety and longevity of concrete and steel silos. By regularly inspecting silos, we can uncover hidden damage and evaluate visible issues that may pose a risk to structural integrity.
Preventive maintenance based on inspection findings can help prevent major and expensive repairs.
Inspection Tiers
We offer three levels of silo inspections to meet your needs:
- Basic: A detailed inspection of the walls, foundation, and roof to identify any visible problems.
- Advanced: Includes additional testing for wall thickness and concrete integrity to uncover deeper issues.
- Comprehensive: Involves thorough external and internal inspections conducted by a senior engineer, providing a complete evaluation of your silo's condition.
These inspection levels ensure that potential issues are detected early, enabling timely and cost-effective maintenance.
Silo Inspection Constituents
- Silo Foundations: A solid foundation is essential for stability and safety. Problems like cracking and erosion are easy to spot, while settlement issues demand a more thorough professional inspection.
- Silo Walls: Silo walls bear substantial stress, which can result in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal cracking. If not addressed promptly, this can compromise the structural integrity.
- Silo Cones, Floors, Shelves, and Tunnels: Discharge cones are especially vulnerable to failure and need thorough inspection for wear and structural integrity. Floors and tunnels should be examined for concrete deterioration.
- Silo Roofs: Roofs are frequently damaged by overfilling, environmental exposure, and material build-up, which can cause sagging and potentially lead to collapse.
- Mobile Inspection Trailer: Our mobile unit is fully equipped with all the tools and equipment needed for thorough on-site inspections and minor repairs, ensuring both efficiency and safety.
