Wood pellet storage facility in France

The project includes silos, catwalks and towers and also features a ventilation system designed for pellets

Detail of the structures:

• Elevator tower 5.5×5.5 h = 32.5m. Open structure, including a zig-zag inclined ladder.
• Elevator tower 3.0×3.0 h = 26.5m. Open structure, without ladder.
• Dispatch structure 17.5m long x 5.0m wide and a maximum height of 12.5m. Partially open structure for truck loading/unloading. The structure has a level on which a reversible conveyor is supported, and an upper level where a silo model S458/4 is supported. It features an inclined ladder to access the maintenance level. The enclosure is based on a substructure made of cold-formed galvanised sheet S2201GD frames into which a trapezoidal sheet is screwed.
• Silo support tower35×3.50 h = 21.5m. A catwalk rests on this structure.
• Support towers made of S350GD cold-formed galvanised frames.
• Catwalks made of S350GD galvanised frames. They include collective protection systems such as railings and a floor made of cold-formed galvanised sheet metal as well.

All the structures are bolted by 8.8 hot-dip galvanised screws and are made of S275 JR steel tubular hot-rolled frames with a hot-dip galvanised surface treatment. Additionally, all the passable levels are equipped with skirting boards and galvanized tramex steel grating floor.
