Specialist Cement Silo Cleaning Services across Scotland

Evaporation and moisture build up in a cement silo can cause the powder stored within the silo to harden around the interior walls of the silo.

The scheduled cleaning of cement silos is required to protect the silo from structural damage caused by clumping on the inside walls. The build up of concrete material can change the pressure within the silo, causing off-centre loading which can damage the silo.

Because concrete hardens when moist, the clumping effect within a concrete silo can cause knock on effects with pipes in the storage vessel.

Cement Silo Cleaning

To clean a concrete silo, we need to the silo to be emptied of as much of the original material as possible. We will then conduct an initial inspection of the silo to determine safe entry points and the safety of the silo itself.

The benefits of Silo Cleaning?

At Balmore, we are able to clean all types of commercial silo and similar storage vessels that are used for commercial material storage.

As one of the UK’s leading difficult access cleaning specialists, we are able to access these confined spaces to scrape and clean away deposit build ups that can cause equipment damage and contamination. We use vacuum, brushes and scrapers to ensure the safe and thorough cleaning of interior surfaces in silos.
