Our silo services are as expansive as the industries we serve. From the most difficult silo cleaning, silo maintenance, and silo repair challenges to the most basic - Marietta Silos can handle it all.

We have an extensive background in silo engineering, construction, inspection, and restoration of concrete silos used in a wide variety of industries. We perform services for facilities storing bulk materials such as carbon, black cement, clay, clinker coal, fly ash, foundry sand, grain products, gypsum, lime, bottom ash, salt, soda ash, and more. No matter what type of structure you have or the material stored, consider Marietta Silos to service your silos or bulk storage structures.

 

Marietta Silos has more experience in silo restoration than any other company in the United States. If you have known or suspected problems, contact us for efficient, cost-effective solutions.

Whether you store clay, lime, limestone, sand, gypsum, cement, salt, or any other aggregate, our in-house experts can help walk you through all the design, engineering, and construction options we offer to those in the cement and manufacturing industry. We ensure your concrete silo is built safely, economically and will last for years to come. We also have a vast amount of experience restoring and rehooping concrete stave silos, including former agricultural silos that have been adapted for industrial use.

 

Bulk material used in the agricultural industry and the food and beverage industry typically requires a sealed silo interior to prevent material storage. Like other bulk material storage containers, agricultural silos are also susceptible to material buildup and require regular, professional cleaning and other silo maintenance services.

 

Within the power industry, Marietta Silos is the leading constructor of concrete fly ash silos in the country. We have built more fly ash silos than all our competitors combined. Marietta Silos is experienced in design and construction methods that can help increase equipment longevity and operating efficiency by constructing fly ash roof enclosures that provide protection from the environment.

 

We have earned an unparalleled reputation for excellence through extensive experience with concrete fly ash silos with numerous leading power utilities and contractors throughout the United States. Marietta Silos is also highly experienced in silo building and design for bottom ash and fly ash storage silos.

 

In addition to the construction, repair, and inspection of fly ash silos for the power industry, Marietta Silos is also experienced in maintenance and repair services for bottom ash clarifying tanks. Bottom ash is a by-product of a coal-burning power generation facility. After the coal has been consumed, bottom ash remains and must be removed from the bottom of the boilers which typically consists of various metals, slate, and rock.

After over a century in the silo construction, inspection, and repair industry, Marietta Silos has learned several ways to help our customers save money on silo maintenance. We always recommend a routine, professional silo inspection schedule to help ensure potential problems are spotted and corrected as early as possible. The best time to schedule your silo inspection is after professional silo cleaning. Following a silo cleaning, all areas of the silo interior are visible to our trained silo inspector or silo engineer. This allows them to provide the most in-depth silo inspection and can help ensure interior damage to areas like silo roof beams is caught before it becomes a problem.

The best way to guarantee the stability and ongoing performance of your silo is to take preventative measures, including regular inspections and maintenance.

 

Catching potential issues as early as possible helps prevent silo failure and keeps repair or restoration expenses low.

 

Best practices recommend silo inspection intervals between two and five years, depending on several factors.

 

Silo inspections should include examining the main aspects known to be potential areas of failure. These inspections should include the foundations, walls, cones, discharge configuration, floors, shelves, tunnels, and roofs. For the most thorough inspection, the silo should be empty and a professional cleaning should be scheduled simultaneously. This allows silo cleaning technicians to remove material buildup that could hide signs of internal damage.

 

While a silo inspection is a great start, it is only as good as your follow-through with recommended repairs, restoration, or other silo maintenance. The sooner you complete a silo repair, the better, as minor silo repairs are always less expensive. To reduce silo repair costs further, complete your silo inspection and silo restoration or silo repair in one mobilization with the Marietta Silos, or USA Silo Service, Mobile Inspection Trailer. Finishing small silo repairs at the same time as your silo inspection reduces additional unplanned downtime and additional trips necessary to get your silo back up and running.

 

Our mobile staging trailer is designed to carry the essential tools, support equipment and other tools needed for our field crews to work safely and efficiently on silo inspections. Our standard on-site equipment package includes all materials and equipment required to maximize personnel safety per the OSHA Confined Space Standard 29 CFR 1910.146.

 

When requested, Marietta Silos can also transport equipment and materials to complete small and silo restoration and repairs on-site during the inspection. This allows us to complete silo inspections and repair quickly, safely and efficiently in one mobilization.
