The construction of a new silo loading facility at Schretter&Cie became necessary for the storage and shipment of different types of cement. 3 round silos stand on an octagonal substructure and a common silo bottom plate. The execution was carried out in two separate sliding phases: 1. for the octagon substructure and 2. for the 3 round silos together in one go.
Since the construction time in the Tyrolean Alps for concrete construction was restricted by the winter months, a demanding schedule was necessary and executed to the day. In addition to the object and structural planning, we carried out the site supervision.
The gravel of the foundation soil, which was only loosely bedded, required a special loading concept for the silo group, which we supervised with permanent settlement monitoring.
