Bidragon can supply customized steel silos, This time square silo size is designed according to customers requirement and customer will store plastic pellet in the silos.ĭue to the epidemic situation, our technicians were unable to go abroad for installation. In the early of 2021, Bidragon successfully delivered square silos raw material to Indonesia client. In short, maximum flexibility over a minimum surface area.īeijing Double Dragon Steel silos with high quality have been exported to many countries.

The modular structure with variable cell dimensions makes it possible to store different products and grades, in different amounts and from several origins, at the same time in the same place.
#Silo square full#
A square silo have over 25% more storage capacity compared with cylindrical silo, the owner will save more space at site, and the most important reason, because its full surface area is well used, so the square silo is the right shape for maximum capacity bulk material storage.

#Silo square install#
We choose square for the storage plant since it has lots of advantages, for example, its easy to install at site for installation workers and only take a short period to complete silo installation. The elements and posts can also be painted to the desired colour. After sealing by a suitable sealant, the elements are directly usable as external walls. When installing a square silo, the space available can be utilized efficiently and the vertical poles carries the load of square silo building structure. Square silos blend well with the environment. The different silo elements can easily be assembled into a storage system that perfectly suits the customer’s needs and premises. Project in association with Rick Brown + Associates.Versatile silo system allows quick construction of storage facilities in a new or existing building. This, along with a sophisticated sea-water cooling system and ‘displacement’ ventilation, substantially reduces the energy demand of the building. This reduces heat gain and glare whilst providing occupants with light, comfort and views.
#Silo square skin#
Key sustainability features of the building include the triple glazed skin façade with automatically controlled blinds between the skins. Sustainable design was implemented without compromising on functionality, aesthetics or occupants’ comfort, and the building achieved the second Office 6-star as-built rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa. Meeting rooms, some of which project as pods into the atrium space, are easily accessible throughout. The main office spaces are arranged across five levels around it, looking both into the atrium and out towards the harbour. This atrium includes the primary circulation elements, maximises internal transparency and facilitates communication within the building. This axis leads into the atrium, a key space in the building. The main entrance to No 1is aligned with the historical grain conveyor belt axis, which linked the Silo to the quayside. The new building reflects these principles to achieve authenticity and contextual sensitivity. The building’s conceptual foundation and façade resolution were informed by the integrity of the industrial and historical V&A Waterfront buildings, whose character was functionally efficient and honest, giving priority to practicality over image. They are informed by an urban design concept which gives significance to the existing, historical 1920s Grain Silo (home of the Zeitz MOCAA gallery) positioned at the heart of the Precinct. Silo 1, together with its neighbour Silo 2 (7 floor residential and ground floor retail) define the northern edge of the new Silo Precinct and are the first phase of the new Precinct at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa.
