Nevertheless, it also includes everything from solar farms to warehouse construction with prefabricated items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To construct the sugar silo in Olmedo (dimensions: 50 m in diameter and 50 m tall), we set up the slipform system to raise the roof while, at the same time, the concrete of the structure was sliding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silo Construction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to planning and executing this type of construction project,<strong> interior liner engineering<\/strong> is key. Sugar silos need a special degree of care, and not only because the end product is for human consumption (sugar is just one example of silo material for human consumption). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar, flour, wheat and other powders suspended in the air can easily explode. When we designed the expansion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/company\/history\/\">Olmedo sugar silo<\/a> (in Valladolid, to a 70,000-tonne capacity), we had to consider these and other construction factors that would affect construction work, maintenance and operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their elongated shape, silos are the perfect candidates for constructing with slipform. This is a high-altitude concrete pouring technique that facilitates the inclusion of post-tensioned  elements, reduces walls to a certain height, and executes holes as the silo grows in height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industrial Construction: Towers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within industrial construction sector we also build (in addition to silos)<strong> preheating towers<\/strong> (cyclone towers) for cement plants. One that stands out is in Tudela Vegu\u00edn, as it was constructed with a type of concrete that is highly resistant to extreme temperatures and temperature changes. <strong>Prilling towers<\/strong> are extremely tall, vertical constructions used to produce fertilizers in the shape of spherical particles or prills. These towers are a specific and infrequent use of preheating towers (using direct contact method). Melted fertilizer pulverizes and condenses in seconds. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":172,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-106003","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Industrial construction: silos, industrial warehouses... | Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Building silos, solar farms, industrial warehouses, factories...
