Bolted Silo
Construction Process
Turnkey EPC Execution Model
We handle all aspects of the EPC process and manage the entire lifecycle of the project from design through to commissioning.
Core Execution Focus
Silo Manufacturing & Construction Basic Process
Understand silo installation, from positioning the foundations, hoisting the components, to assembling high-strength bolts and reinforcing structures. Consider constructing prefabricated silos without welds for a flexible and safe way to build storage silo on site.
All parts of the bolted silo are fabricated with precision in the factory which results in consistent and better quality with improved performance and reliability.
To avoid potential problems with fitting and assembling silo components on site, components are pre-assembled and numbered each prefabricated panels in the factory prior to shipment.
Silo body panels are labeled with numbers to facilitate component tracking and matching to a position, therefore addressing assembly issues and expediting the process.
Components are designed to be connected with bolts to allow quick assembly. This design minimizes time and labor and expedites the success of the project.
Our engineering team is ready to provide a customized solution.
QA/QC Inspection Framework
Six-phase methodology along with a commitment to quality, safety, and efficiency from start to finish.
Construction Preparation
- Initial site evaluation and geotechnical investigations
- Entry and acceptance inspection
- Development of construction plans and specialized procedures
- Review of qualifications and emergency plan
Foundation & Support System
- Foundation layout, excavation, and placement
- Assessment of rebar placement and form work
- Controls for quality of concrete placement and curing
- Verification of column, beam, and brace placement
Silo On-site Assembly
- Placement of walls and establishment of survey datum for first section
- Construction and inspection of connections
- Construction of spiral climbing (plate feeding, forming, and monitoring)
- Alignment and measurement checks
Silo Roof & Bottom Construction
- Installation of roof purlins and roof panels
- Verification of the lightning protection and grounding systems
- Placement of silo bottom and discharge systems
- Verification of all required structural connections
Ancillary Systems & Acceptance
- Installation of the temperature & humidity monitoring system
- Inspection of the anti-corrosion coating & paint films
- Final operational tests (water pressure test, settlement monitoring)
- Finalization of all required documentation & acceptance
Safety & Quality Control
- Safety measures for high-altitude and lifting operations
- Inspection three-fold verification and concealed work signing
- Construction timeline control and critical work phase control
- Quality assurance for construction and defect correction
High-Precision Quality Control
Precision control of steel silo components through CNC shaping, verification of pre-assembly, precision marking, and control of assembly and integration for the effective and precise execution of all EPC works.
CNC precision forming guarantees not just consistency in curvature, but also consistency in the arcs of silo panels. Positional technology is uniformly distributed along all connection holes of the silo panels for assembled connections of greater precision.
- Alignment deviation is eliminated
- Pre-calibrated at the factory (before delivery)
- Precision issues are resolved before manufacture
