Silo Plinth
Bespoke reinforced concrete plinth to accomodate four large silos in Sunderland.
We were asked by our client to design and install a bespoke reinforced concrete plinth to accomodate four new large silos.
Our team recently completed the design and installation of a bespoke reinforced concrete silo plinth to support four new industrial silos. This project demanded both precision and expertise, with a critical surface tolerance of just 3mm across the entire structure, a challenge that we met with exceptional accuracy.
To ensure longterm stability and load bearing performance, we undertook carefully staged excavation. This approach allowed us to consolidate the ground at different levels, tailored specifically to the site’s conditions and the weight distribution of the silos. Every aspect of the groundworks was planned and executed to meet strict engineering specifications, ensuring a solid, level base for the final silo installation.
The result is a high performance concrete foundation built to exacting standards, capable of supporting significant operational loads while withstanding the test of time. This project showcases our commitment to delivering precision engineered solutions for industrial infrastructure.
