CONTAINMENT STRUCTURES
SILOS AND TANKS

Cellate have been engaged in the construction of numerous Tank nand Silo nprojects for municipality and private farming projects in Sri Lanka, Australia and UAE some of which have been subjected to highly corrosive product and are still in perfect condition after 25 years.
The approach and build method of Cellate Silos and Tanks and are the same , all containment structures therefore will be water and air tight and very robustcompared to steel tanks, and won’t rust or collapse under vacuum and can be manufactured off site transported and erected efficiently.
As all Cellate products, the structural walls are made As all Cellate products, the structural walls are made from patented super high strength steel fibre concrete with an insulated infill block. Each wall panel is post-tensioned and then circumferentially tensioned making the entire structure very strong. The panels are also ab-rasive resistant yet very light compared to ordinary mass concrete , cutting down erection time and costs. The internal insulation layer cuts down on disparities between external / internal temperatures reducing condensation and thereby protecting the contents from spoiling.
The panel walls can be made to suit any requirement in size and shape making them ideal for Silo and Tank construction with either a flat or conical base, the structure can be made square or cylindrical. Typically containment structures can be designed with diameters from 3 to 25m and up to 25 m high and will outperform coated steel tanks with higher capacities. All penetrations i.e. filling chutes, breaker vents, product rem-oval systems and access ways are designed and cast in to suit the process requirements.
