Bolted, Corrugated Silos-2

CORRUGATED SILOS SPECIFICATIONS Type 10º 30º ANCHOR BOLT DETAIL Every AEC bolted, corrugated silo that we install is mounted to the concrete pad foundation by the Tru-Bolt anchoring system. This eliminates the need for setting bolts in wet concrete before the silo is erected. The Tru-Bolt anchor allows you to erect the silo, position it, and then drill the anchor holes and secure the anchors. With this method, the anchors are always properly located. The Tru-Bolt anchor has a 7800 lb. pull-out strength, exceeding the strength of an ordinary mounting bolt. MATERIAL HANDLING Hopper cone FOUNDATION...
