We Keep Your Silo Safe and Secure
Silo Cleaning
We carry out thorough internal cleaning and inspections as a vital part of silo maintenance, including dust removal and disinfection to prevent dust explosions and fire hazards before any construction or repair work begins.
Silo Bridging
Bridging is a common and often unavoidable issue in silos and tanks. Whether it's a minor rathole or a fully blocked bridge, we are equipped to handle all conditions—even grain that has been left undisturbed for years.
To safely and effectively resolve complete blockages, we install our Stage Tower at the top of the bridged material inside the silo. From this secure platform, we perform precise drilling operations to break through the obstruction and restore flow.
Conventional Method Problem and Stage Tower
In conventional bridge removal methods, scaffolding cannot be installed in the hopper section. As a result, factories often resort to inefficient and hazardous alternatives—such as striking the silo from the outside or manually discharging material from the bottom. However, these methods pose serious risks. For example, hitting the silo with a large rubber hammer over 1,000 times a day may only dislodge about 1 ton of material, and tragically, more than a dozen fatalities have occurred over the last decade due to workers being buried alive. Many facilities have since banned this practice.
At Plant Base, we address bridging with a safer, more reliable solution. We install our Stage Tower directly above the blockage and conduct the work under strict safety protocols. Our team follows comprehensive guidelines tailored to different bridging scenarios, ensuring efficient removal while prioritizing worker safety and structural integrity.
