Silos are high-rise, single-storey buildings that support huge automated structures to move goods horizontally and vertically at high speed. In some cases, the silos reach 34 metres in height, equivalent to an 11-storey building. To support the huge structure of racks and robots vertically, it is necessary to be close to perfection in two aspects: the regularity of the floor (horizontality and flatness) and the resistance to the loads, as it is only one floor that supports the building.
The silos built by prosistemas have a double steel skeleton – double mesh – but, in addition, millions of steel fibres strategically distributed in the concrete mix increase the resistance to the loads.
