STRUCTURAL SILO INSPECTION

Weather exposure, age, stored material type, and site location are just a few of the many factors that can influence the condition and safe function of a storage vessel.

In all cases, it is critically important to regularly schedule a silo inspection to make sure vessels are structurally sound. Should a problem exist, it is always better to identify and remedy the problem as early as possible versus waiting and risking costly repairs and possible interruption of service.

A structural silo inspection from Mole•Master will ensure your storage vessel is in proper operating condition.
