Powder silo

Any “special” is a challenge for Verkouille.

This silo, with its oval outlet, built for an important company in the business of cellulose, is surely remarkable.

Though the silo does not work under pressure, it has to be designed to withstand the explosion pressure if a dust explosion would occur. 

Therefore, the conical outlet is entirely covered by reinforcing beams.
