Risk assessment, structural safeguarding, and remediation. Find the hazard before the structure does.
Find the hazard before the structure does.
A grain structure rarely fails without warning. It fatigues, corrodes, and distorts first. We assess structures for the conditions that precede failure, then specify the safeguarding or remediation that keeps them in service safely.
The work covers both the structure and the people on it. Shell distress, anchorage and foundation movement, and overstressed members on the engineering side; OSHA-compliant access, platforms, and guardrails on the human side. Grain handling is a hazardous environment, and the structure is part of the hazard.
Where a structure is distressed, we do not default to replacement. We quantify the remaining capacity, then specify the lightest intervention that restores a safe margin, or state plainly when retirement is the honest answer.
A structure showing cracking, denting, corrosion, or shell distortion.
An older facility with no current structural assessment on record.
Access, platforms, or guardrails that may not meet OSHA requirements.
A near-miss, incident, or insurer requirement driving a safety review.
A change in product or throughput that raises the load on aging steel.
The conditions present, ranked by how close each is to failure.
The intervention that restores a safe margin, specified.
OSHA-referenced findings on platforms, ladders, and rails.
The structure and the people on it answer to different standards. We check both.
Send what you are seeing, or the age and history of the structure. We will tell you how close it is.
