Built for bulk commodities

Bulk storage buildings are designed around three needs: keeping product dry, accommodating high piles and protecting walls from loaders.

Typical products: aggregate, fertilizer, potash, wood products and industrial commodities.

Wall and pile design

Ponywall systems are engineered for the weight and height of stored material, with cast and lock-block options sized to the product’s angle of repose.

Conveyor and fill access

Peak openings and clearances designed for conveyor fill and full piling, with dust management built into the layout.

Corrosion resistance

Fertilizer and potash degrade conventional buildings. Non-conductive covers and galvanized frames last longer in these environments.
