Spring has barely arrived but given the snowfall we have had in the last two winters, many organisations are thinking ahead to next winter. Salt storage is a hot topic and places such as airports and councils need to make sure they don’t get caught out next winter.
Salt barns can be constructed in a number of ways, and precast concrete allows a variety of options. The corrosive nature of salt also means concrete is an ideal material to be using. The concrete panels can be attached to the front of steels, and as long as they are correctly installed and sealed then they will keep the salt away from the steels. The other alternative is to use the L shape retaining walls inside the building, these are ideal for creating bunkers and keeping the salt awy from the skin and frame of the building.
For more information on the various options please give us a call and we’ll happily advise.
