(The comments have more "after" photos and information on the Texas City explosion.)ībc.com/news/av/world-53657745/beirut-blast-city-explosion-causes-widespread-damage?SThisFB Note the silos directly next to the building where the explosion took place. In the explosion in Beirut yesterday, approx 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate went off doing damage not seen outside of a nuclear bomb. I thought this would be of particular interest to some in this group who wondered why the grain silos are still intact downtown. Specifically, I learned that Todd & Sargent specializes in slipform silo construction. T he grain elevator in Moccasin, MT, is another example of a modern concrete grain elevator. Phohl Martin posted two photos with the comment: " 'Six Pack' going up in a field just south of Eaton, CO. I'm surprised that such a small elevator is being built with concrete instead of steel bins.

John Harker Using a concrete pump, you came along way from my day of a single line for steel and a double line for concrete. I pick this one in particular because of the comments concerning safety. Joe Harker now has several postings showing the progress of slip forming new elevators. Joe Harker posted photos of assembling the tower crane in anticipation of starting the slip operation. I came across an example of concrete silos also being used for an expansion. But I see above that for green-field construction of big elevators, concrete silos are still used sometimes. Since all of the big grain elevators I have seen have added steel bins to their concrete silo core, I had assumed that steel bins have made slip-form concrete silos obsolete. By 1899, wooden elevators were storing over a million bushes. The first concrete bin was designed by Charles Haglin and built outside of Minneapolis, MN, in 1899.
