2,000 MT Dry Flyash Steel Silo: Fabrication, Erection and Commissioning

Turnkey fabrication of circular steel shells, site assembly using hydraulic jacking, submerged arc welding (SAW) and complete pneumatic commissioning at Dalmia Cement Bokaro unit.

Storage Capacity2,000 MT
Client EnterpriseDalmia Cement
Welding NDT100% Passed
Safety MilestoneZero Lost Time
[01] PROJECT CHALLENGE

Confined Brownfield Erection

The client required a 2,000 MT bulk dry flyash storage silo erected directly adjacent to running cement grinding circuits and conveyor transfer towers. The erection had to proceed without dust ingress into sensitive equipment or disruption to adjacent mill operations, with strict limits on heavy crane movement areas.

[02] ENGINEERING EXECUTION

Hydraulic Jacking & Submerged Arc Welding

To minimize hazardous high-elevation assembly inside operational plant limits, our engineering team deployed an inverted top-down hydraulic jacking method. Shell strakes were rolled on site, welded using automated submerged arc welding (SAW) at ground level, inspected via ultrasonic and radiographic testing, and jacked incrementally.

Welding CodesAWS D1.1 / IS 800
NDT Inspection100% UT on Seams, Spot Radiography
Testing MethodPneumatic Pressure Tightness Test
[03] DELIVERED RESULT

On-Schedule Commissioning Sign-off

The 2,000 MT dry flyash silo was successfully handed over to Dalmia Cement with full structural documentation, certified weld radiographs, hydrostatic/pneumatic leak test certificates and zero safety incidents during the entire erection cycle.
