Grain Bunkers are the accepted industry standard for bulk grain storage in Australia with the majority of grain produced on an annual stored in grain bunkers prior to export. Commercial Grain Bunkers are an extremely flexible grain storage method being low cost, transportable and with short lead times.
Grain Bunker dimensions can be modified to accommodate any site design or volume with a traditional grain bunker being 35 metres in width, 300 metres in length and storing approximately X tonnes of wheat.
In 2015 GGHS identified an opportunity to advance the grain bunkers technology creating a patented clamping system that allows unskilled staff to cover grain bunkers with tarpaulins competently and efficiently.
The key benefits of GGHS’s Grain Bunker has been analysed under 4 key business success pillars:
A key driver for an improved tarping system is enhanced worker safety. In 2009 WorkSafe investigated grain bunker tarping practices and identified some significant safety issues. They found that working conditions coupled with the heavy nature of the tarps contributed to two deaths in Australia in the past 12 years alongside countless unreported injuries.
