Silos Slipformed

Gagarin Factory, Russia

Gagarin Silos Russia 2015

Silos for the Gagarin Factory in Russia

This silo work for the Gagarin Factory in western Russia was completed in late 2015. The winter conditions were not a problem for the slipforming operation as the slipform platform is very compact and can be readily heated and shielded from the elements. Note the openings and block-outs in the walls, which are easily created by inserting custom wood frames into the slipform setup as it climbs upwards. The tallest silo has a height of 26.5 m.

A specialist subcontractor was hired by Egger Holzwerkstoffe Brilon GmbH & Co KG for slipforming the silo shells.
