A grain silo, in simplest terms, is a steel tank to store the grains vertically. The storage tank’s material and its methods of preservation of grains vary depending on the specific quality requirements and environmental conditions.
Usually, the benefits are comparable to having a standard flat warehouse on storage. Simply put, the benefit is more for space savings (land area-wise) and efficiency in preserving grains. It is also faster to execute, installation-wise. And it is flexible enough that it can be relocated, altered, etc. We can think of it like water in bottles versus your ordinary square Tupperware. You can store it in a tub, but it is easier to handle through a bottle.
The installation process is half the story and is side-by-side with the quality of the silo you are constructing. An installation procedure is a make or break on the silo’s longevity and reliability. For example, if the civil foundation isn’t set right, one water slippage or minor earthquake will cause irreversible damage to the whole silo.
