We have been painting grain silos since the
company was formed in 1983. Seventeen silos at the then Lowick
Farmers Silos (now owned by Allied Grain Ltd), were painted over
three summer seasons, ranging from 1000 to 5000 tonne and
finished in a silver grey M.I.O Micaceous iron oxide.

"Our silos still look good today after over
twenty years of harsh coastal weather."

Access:
Where silos are packed closely together (e.g
picture above and below), it is impossible to use hired access
units. We have designed and produced special access
equipment which consists of a wheeled frame which runs around
the rim of the silo. From this frame the Bosun's chair is
suspended, giving our workers a comfortable and speedy way
in which to paint a grain silo. The scaffolding
alternative would be a prohibitive extra cost to the customer. |
