Services
Silo Construction
We design and build custom concrete silos for bulk material storage with diameters up to 165 feet and heights exceeding 460 feet. Our construction methods include slipform and jumpform techniques that create durable, corrosion-resistant structures capable of handling capacities from 1,000 tons upward. These silos provide long-term storage solutions for cement, grain, minerals, and other bulk materials while offering cost savings through reduced maintenance requirements.
Silo Repair
Our comprehensive silo repair services address common issues like spalling concrete, beam pocket damage, and roof leaks. We employ specialized techniques including crack injection, post-tensioning, and fiber reinforced polymer reinforcement to extend asset lifecycles. With 40+ years of field experience, our MSHA and OSHA-certified technicians perform structural assessments and implement repairs that restore operational safety while minimizing facility downtime.
Bulk Material Conveying
We engineer and install complete material handling systems featuring overland conveyors, radial stackers, and transfer towers. Our systems accommodate diverse materials including cement, grain, coal, and minerals with capacities for both short-distance transfers and long-haul transport. Electronic controls enable remote monitoring while specialized pneumatic transport solutions maintain environmental containment for powdered goods like cement and flour.
Slip Form Concrete
Our slip form construction method creates continuous concrete structures without joints by raising formwork vertically as concrete is poured. This technique enhances safety by eliminating crane-dependent formwork assembly at height while improving construction efficiency. We apply this method to build cement plant components, grain silos, and industrial chimneys with seamless structural integrity and reduced labor requirements.
Cement Terminal Services
We design and construct complete cement terminal packages featuring storage silos, loading systems, and material handling equipment. Our solutions include bolted tanks, small volume concrete tanks, and integrated control systems that enable electronic monitoring of material movement. These facilities optimize cement storage and distribution operations while meeting industry-specific safety and environmental regulations.
