Fireproof Design on Grain Silo

The area on bulk food warehouse shall not exceed the maximum allowable area of 12,000 square meters; the maximum allowable area for each firewall should not exceed 3,000 square meters.

Steel silo and squat silo can be arranged into groups, and total reserves of each group separately were ≤ 40000 ton, 40001-50000 t, 50001 -100,000 ton; while squat silo total reserves of each group were ≤ 50000 t, 50001-1500,000 tons.

Steel or semi-steel bulk food banks on each side of the firewall WAREHOUSE within 6 m of columns, beams, roof load-bearing structural components and building envelope fire protection measures should be taken to its fire resistance, and fire resistance should follow the "architectural design code for fire protection." 2.0.1 Requirement.


Storage silo, squat silo, underground corridor, transit warehouse, and working tower should be taken in accordance with the relevant specification explosion-proof measures.

When the total reserves on silos is more than 40,000 tons, its outdoor fire water should not be less than 45 liters / sec; when the volume of the warehouse is greater than 50,000 cubic meters, its outdoor fire water should not be less than 45 liters / sec. Squat silo’s underground corridor should set water spray system.

When the fire load of the power supply does not meet the two-level above requirements, you can be use the internal combustion engine driven fire pump.

Other fire structure of the grain silo should be designed in accordance with the architectural design of fire protection regulations.
