The challenge
After years in service, the exterior of 40 food-grade storage silos showed worn walls, fatigued fasteners and corroded protective sheeting.
Working across 40 silos in a live food plant meant coordinated access at height, clean working methods and no risk to product hygiene.
Scope of works
- Rope access teams and certified height staging on all 40 silos
- Removal of corroded external metal sheets and damaged anchors
- Surface preparation, defect repair and anti-corrosion treatment of the support framework
- Installation and fastening of new protective metal cladding
Outcome
All 40 silos were repaired and re-clad, with better weather protection and a longer service life. We also handle the inside of food silos, including cleaning and food-safe coating.
