Inside The World of Silo Inspection
SSI will go (very safely, of course) where most dare not go to help you understand the condition of your silos and infrastructure. This includes using drones, remote cameras, and confined space procedures.
According to our extensive experience, two out of three facilities have silos with serious issues that should be repaired. And, without a full inspection the risk is often not detected until it’s too late. Keep your silos and your employees safe with regular site inspections.
Many silo challenges can't be seen from the ground, or from the outside. SSI’s team of dedicated engineering and design professionals will come directly to the project site to help keep your operations running smoothly. We scale the inside and outside of your structure walls to to evaluate overall safety and structural integrity to determine how much longer your facilities will be fully functioning and any repairs that may be needed now, or in the future.
Here’s a Few of SSI’s Adventures Inside of the Silo:
Life inside the silo for a confined space procedure. We bring our own lights! 😊 SSI keeps facilities safe one project at a time.

It’s often dusty in the facilities we inspect, but we wear PPE to keep our employees safe so they can get to all areas of your structures that might need attention.
We can enter into small spaces to ensure your infrastructure is sound and reliable for the future!

Some people dream of going to the moon! SSI engineers and designers think the same thing about your facilities. Each structure is unique and we have the experience needed to evaluate your silos and create a full report so you can be certain your facility is functioning safely, or know exactly what steps to take next to keep your facilities and employees safe.
