Silo Cleaning — Central Valley

The Valley’s silos are different.

Feed and grain hang up in the heat. Almond hulls bridge. Rice and flour pack hard against the cone. Cement and fly ash rathole and cut your usable capacity in half without anyone noticing until the truck won’t load. We clear all of it from the top down with remote whips and air tools. No one enters the vessel.

Dispatch from Fontana: Bakersfield is a little over two hours from our yard, Fresno under four, Modesto and Stockton about five, Sacramento about six. Emergency calls roll the same day; planned cleanouts are booked into your shutdown window and the crew travels the night before so the job starts when your gate opens.

Customers You Know: Our silo and bulk-handling customers include Cemex, CalPortland, Granite Construction and Rio Tinto, plus plants up and down the state that we are glad to name over the phone.

What a silo cleaning includes

• Inspection before we quote: a look at the vessel, the material and the access, so the proposal matches the job.
• Capacity restoration: compacted buildup taken off the walls and cone so the silo holds what it was built to hold.
• Bridging and rathole removal: the plug broken from the top down with remote whips and air tools until material runs to the discharge.
• Buildup removal: caked, hardened and off-spec material cleared and conveyed or bagged out — not left in the vessel.
• Post-clean inspection: walls, cone and discharge checked before we close the hatch.
• Documentation: photos and a written summary for your maintenance file and your safety program.

Every job runs with OSHA 30 and MSHA Part 46/48 trained crews, explosion-proof lighting and no confined-space entry — the same way we have done it since 1991.

Regulatory note for Valley plants

Most of the Valley sits in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, with Sacramento and the northern counties under their own districts. A top-entry cleanout with the vessel sealed and dust controlled keeps the job inside your permit conditions and off the fugitive-dust complaint line. We plan every cleanout around your permit and your neighbors.

“The ACT Group helped us clear a silo that had been plugged for 18 years, all without confined space entry.”— IGM
