Silo Inspections: Ensuring Safety and Longevity
Ensure Safety and Longevity with Professional Silo Inspections
Professional silo inspections are crucial for maintaining the safety and longevity of concrete and steel silos. Regular inspections help identify hidden damages and assess visible issues that could lead to structural failures. Based on inspection results, we offer preventive maintenance to avoid major and costly repairs.
Inspection Levels:
We offer three levels of silo inspections to meet your needs:
- Basic: A thorough observation of the walls, foundation, and roof to identify any visible issues.
- Advanced: Includes additional tests for wall thickness and concrete integrity to detect deeper problems.
- Comprehensive: Involves detailed external and internal inspections conducted by a senior engineer, ensuring a complete assessment of your silo's condition.
These levels ensure that any potential problems are identified early, allowing for timely and cost-effective maintenance.
Silo Inspection Components
Silo Foundations: A strong foundation is crucial for stability and safety. Issues such as cracking and erosion are easy to identify, while settlement issues require a closer professional examination.
Silo Walls: Silo walls endure significant stress, leading to potential horizontal, vertical, or diagonal cracking. This can compromise the structural integrity if not addressed promptly.
Silo Cones, Floors, Shelves, and Tunnels: The discharge cones are particularly prone to failures and require careful inspection for wear and structural integrity. Floors and tunnels should be checked for concrete deterioration.
Silo Roofs: Roofs often suffer from overfilling, environmental abuse, and material build-up, which can lead to sagging and potential collapse.
Mobile Inspection Trailer: Our mobile unit is equipped with all necessary tools and equipment for comprehensive on-site inspections and minor repairs, ensuring efficiency and safety.
