Concrete storage domes offer a long-lasting, efficient solution for high-volume bulk material storage. But even the most robust structures can suffer damage or deterioration over time, especially when interior buildup or material flow issues are left unaddressed. That's why regular inspection and restoration services are critical for concrete storage domes.

 

At Marietta Silos, we understand the unique structural demands that domes face due to their large diameter, steep wall angles, and specialized loading patterns. Left unchecked, these factors can contribute to cracking, delamination, or corrosion of steel supports that compromise performance and safety.

 

 

Marietta Silos offers comprehensive inspection services to assess both visible and hidden issues.

 

These inspections are designed to catch early signs of wear and structural issues before they become costly failures.

 

When issues are detected, our expert team works quickly to implement restoration solutions tailored to your dome repair needs. We have decades of experience restoring concrete storage structures to safe and efficient operating condition.

 

Need dome cleaning, too? Our sister company, USA Silo Service, provides specialized dome cleaning services that remove hardened material from interior walls and fluidizing equipment. As part of our Silo One Call service, we make it easy to schedule all your silo and dome services needs one point of contact.

Silo structural failures regularly make the news. While they sometimes result in seemingly minor inconveniences or temporary facility or road closures, they can also be fatal. Such tragedies serve as a stark reminder of the importance of routine, professional silo inspections in avoiding silo disasters.

 

Keeping up with a regular silo inspection schedule is the best way to ensure unexpected issues don't arise. Best practices recommend professional inspections at two- to five-year intervals to help identify any issues that could lead to silo failure.

 

When scheduling a silo inspection, it is essential to use a trusted silo inspection company that has the required experience and industry knowledge to complete a thorough inspection that is appropriate for your silo and stored material. Professional silo inspections cover more areas of the silo than an in-house inspection. Trained silo inspectors also know a great deal more about what to look for and which areas are the most common sites of potential failure. During a professional inspection, silo experts and/or a trained silo engineer will thoroughly analyze your silo(s) to identify any major and minor issues.

 

An inspection is only helpful in preventing disasters if you follow through with the recommended preventive maintenance. It's important to schedule any necessary repairs as soon as possible. Selecting a silo company like Marietta Group that can handle your repair, maintenance, and inspection needs under one roof helps make it easier to follow through. Identifying potential problems and correcting them early on can also help save you money. Silo issues that need to be remediated only become more costly to repair and more dangerous the longer you wait. The cost of keeping up with preventive maintenance is significantly lower than the price of major repairs or construction after a structural failure.

 

In addition to keeping silos safe and extending their usable life, maintaining and repairing your silo quickly also helps prevent emergency silo issues, including structural failure. Failing to complete preventive maintenance is a leading cause of costly, dangerous silo failure. Addressing minor issues as soon as they arise helps keep the costs of silo ownership low as major repairs, emergencies, and structural failures are more expensive up front, take longer to correct, and inevitably result in unplanned downtime.

 

If you do experience an emergency silo issue, the Marietta Group team acts quickly to offer emergency services that meet all of your silo needs. Our experts have the experience and expertise to fix your silo problems for good.

 

Without routine silo inspections, silo repair emergencies and structural failures can seem like they came out of nowhere. Failing to complete preventive maintenance is a leading cause of costly, dangerous silo failure. Addressing minor issues as soon as they arise helps keep the costs of silo ownership low as major repairs, emergencies, and structural failures are more expensive up front, take longer to correct, and inevitably result in unplanned downtime or potential disasters.
