Stores, silos and concrete drying floors that protect maize, beans and other crops from moisture, pests and theft.
About Grain Stores and Drying Floors
Post-harvest loss can be as damaging as a poor crop. We design and build well-ventilated grain stores, raised floors and concrete drying floors that suit your volumes, with rodent-proof walls, sealed doors and damp-proof floors. Drying floors are laid to a gentle fall so that rain runs off.
What we do
- Capacity planning based on your expected crop volume
- Foundations, damp-proof floor and walls
- Roof with adequate ventilation and rain protection
- Rodent-proofing of doors, vents and eaves
- Concrete drying floor with drainage fall
- Ramps, loading bays and shelving or pallet bases
What we need from you to quote
- Crop type and expected tonnage or number of bags per season
- Site location and proximity to the field or road
- Ground levels and drainage at the site
- Preferred construction materials such as brick, block or steel
- Handling method, for example bags or bulk
- Power availability if fans or dryers are to be installed
