Double-bay grain warehouse with bulk walls
A customer from Lithuania needed new storage space for grain in a harbour. Due to the required size, HALTEC envisaged a large grain storage hall with bulk walls in a double-bay design.
In total, the grain storage hall roofs over 3,000 m² of space. With a side height of over 7.0 metres, it offers an enormous amount of space. The concrete side walls protect the structure from the load of the stored grain. The walls also serve as collision protection during unloading.
In order to distribute the grain particularly quickly and evenly in the hall, it was important to the customer to install a grain conveyor belt on the roof ridge. HALTEC already took the necessary loads into account when calculating the hall statics - the installation was carried out on-site by the customer.
The roof covering made of translucent PVC tarpaulins ensures sufficient light in the hall. As a result, daylight-like conditions prevail inside the hall. Two large industrial sectional gates provide access to the hall. Rain gutters on the long sides and between the bays ensure controlled water drainage.

Lots of space gain
With the double-bayed grain warehouse, the customer has gained over 3,000 m² of storage space.
Bright hall interior
Translucent roof tarpaulins provide plenty of natural light in the hall during the day.
Direct access
The entrance and exit to the hall is via large industrial sectional gates. Lorries can also drive directly into the hall.
Statically considered
The statics of the SELECT steel building were customised by HALTEC so that a grain conveyor belt could be installed on site.
Controlled rainwater runoff
A gutter between the two bays ensures controlled drainage of rainwater.
Well advised. HALTEC.
