Bulk commodity storage demands durability, efficiency, and long-term performance. Facilities storing fertilizer, salt, aggregates, and other corrosive materials face constant exposure to harsh...
When it comes to bulk fertilizer storage buildings, grain facilities, salt sheds, and mining storage structures, it’s easy to assume the goal is simple: maximize capacity and minimize cost per...
A free-span building is the most practical choice for storing dried distillers’ grains, or DDGs. With long dimensions, high ceilings, and wide-open interior spaces, tension fabric buildings can...
Fertilizer keeps our agricultural economy growing. As the ingredients that make up fertilizer are mined and make their way to farmers, they have to be stored—and often blended—along the way. Proper...
Long-range planning is good, but if you’re planning to build a new bulk storage facility, you probably need it sooner than someday. You might even be under pressure to get that building up and...
Fertilizer is corrosive. In fact, some would say it’s the worst—even harsher than salt. No wonder corrosion resistance is the number one concern for anyone looking to build a dry fertilizer storage...
Bulk salt is used in a number of manufacturing processes, but it is mainly used as a deicer by state transportation departments, municipalities, and other jurisdictions as well as private snow...
“Everything that fertilizer dust touches wants to corrode.”
Fabric is no stranger to the bulk commodity industry. Fabric has been established as a cost-effective option for corrosive bulk commodities such as frac sand, fertilizer, and salt. However, what if...
