Jazan B-Mill, Saudi Arabia
Jazan B-Mill – Silos slipformed by a specialist contractor
Shown here are two silos that form part of the Jazan B-Mill complex, a flour mill with attached silos that has a production capacity of 600 tons per day. The owner is GSFMO (Ministry of Agriculture of Saudi Arabia).
The general contractor for the concrete work was CEM Estero S.p.a. of Italy, operating from its offices in Riyadh. The contractor hired a specialist contractor to slipform these two silos in late 2015. The slipform height was 28.3 m. Each silo shell was completed in under a week, by working around the clock, pouring concrete 24 hours a day.
