Right-angled Partition Walls in the Central Chamber of a Multi-Compartment Silo

 

The central chamber of a 9.5m (average) diameter multi-compartment silo was subdivided into four sections by the construction of right-angled internal partition walls.

The parameters of the raw material were unsuitable for cement production. The simplified shape and dimensions of the newly created sections were calculated to give an inscribed circular diameter of 3.78 metres.

Most of the installation work had to be done from above. This meant that an access opening had to be cut in the roof of the silo, at a height of 61.3 metres, and another in the intermediate ceiling, at a height of 52.5 metres.
