Project Description: Crossview Enterprises were engaged by CBH to conduct urgent and integral strengthening works to three, twenty-thousand-ton silos in Chadwick, Esperance. During the works, the Crossview management team identified significant deflections in the silo rafters. Crossview engaged WGA Engineering and worked closely with them and CBH to create an innovative custom and cost-effective solution for this design of storage system.
Following the success of these works, Crossview were awarded the contract to fully refurbish the three silos at Chadwick and then continue with the refurbishment of two silos located in Trayning, in the Western Australian Wheatbelt.
This project highlights Crossview’s use of innovative, out of the box thinking to identify and then remedy the structural issues, supporting the urgent needs of CBH at the time. We thrive on working collaboratively with all our lead clients and third parties, as required, utilizing our experience and expertise to ascertain the most appropriate solution to any project challenge. Crossview specialize in on-site works, mobilizing all labour and equipment required to Trayning for the 6-week period of the silo refurbishment.
