Grain Bulk Handling – Phase II

Phase I was designed with planned further expansion.

With global land prices increasing utilisation of land space is becoming a key issue when designing Bulk Storage Systems. Phase II extension provides good evidence of our silos and equipment nesting capabilities, utilising costly land to its maximum benefit.
