The challenge
Moorcroft initially approached Tarmac in October 2015 looking for a solution to infill the walls of a silo. The contractor needed a product that would be able to fill the space between the outer and inner walls of a silo and also provide a smooth interior floor and walkway/access point under the silo floor which would be formed with shuttering. This was not an easy brief due to the fact there was a very dense metal support structure between the walls and also, as the structure was built, the access point would become higher and higher.
Our solution
Results and benefits
The rapid initial curing time of the TOPFLOW allowed pours to be carried out on consecutive days so the project was supplied quickly. With the material performing exactly as described the customer was delighted with the result and requested the same solution for the subsequent phases of the silo programme.
