Solution · Grain, feed & agri-processing
Keep the harvest dry, whatever the season
Rice and corn warehouses, dryer and mill buildings, feed mills, sugar and fertiliser stores – ventilated, typhoon-ready and designed for the loads of bulk and bagged storage.
- Bulk or bagged
- Storage loads on walls
- Ventilated
- Ridge and wall openings
- Covered
- Truck unloading bays
Storage that protects the margin
Rain, humidity and pests cost Philippine farmers and millers a large share of each harvest. A well-designed steel warehouse keeps grain dry, keeps trucks unloading under cover in the wet season and gives room for dryers, mills and bagging lines.
We design walls and frames for the lateral pressure of bulk grain or stacked bags, add ridge ventilation and wide doors, and specify coatings that resist fertiliser and humid air.
