Design and planning of a storage system needs to be approached carefully.
Beginning or expanding grain storage requires an vision of the entire system and the implications involved. Our skill and knowledge of more than 20 years in the sector make it possible for us to provide professional expertise.
The project designer needs to have a clear vision of where you are now and where you hope to be in the next 10 – 15 years. In order to plan towards your goal an understanding of your requirements and your budget, as well as knowing about grains and the way silos and handling equipment work is required.
Choosing components on the basis of cost alone can prove to be an expensive option if the finished product proves to be inadequate for your requirements. The professional designer has the skill and knowledge to identify the quality and service appropriate to your needs now and into the future.
My role as a consulting engineer is primarily to utilise my technical expertise to save money on your behalf.
We make this possible by developing and coordinating with accuracy all the different areas involved in the project such as: civil, electrical and mechanical engineering components, subcontractors, delivery, assembly and safety procedures; on time and respecting the original budget and therefore avoiding extra costs which are often unaccounted for.
Controlling the quality of the product, organising production if required, sourcing of basic materials on time, planning financial strategies and considering possible contingencies with alternative solutions are all components of the engineers role.
Delivering on all of the above on time and on budget results in customer satisfaction.
Once decided on the required silo and handling equipment, the next step is installation on your property.
Some installations require civil, electrical and mechanical expertise.
Our professional services are enable us to coordinate these phases of the project in the correct order so as to avoid the extra charges common in these operations. He needs to be able to detect possible problems and make corrections to avoid failures several years down the track, when there is no longer any warranty cover.
