Industrial and asphalt plants rely on silos to store and manage critical materials like aggregates, asphalt mix, and raw ingredients. Over time, the structural integrity of these silos can degrade due to constant use, exposure to heavy loads, and environmental factors.
At Motion Engineering, we offer silo inspection services designed for these high-demand environments. Our thorough evaluations help ensure your equipment remains safe, efficient, and reliable for ongoing operations.
Precision Matters: How We Inspect Silos
When it comes to evaluating silos, precision and safety are non-negotiable. Our inspection process starts with specialty-trained technicians who are equipped with cutting-edge tools, such as ultrasonic thickness gauges. These tools allow us to map the thickness of critical components like the cone and tub walls, identifying any signs of wear that might compromise the structure.
Unlike automated silo bots, our inspections rely on human expertise to detect subtle issues that machines can miss. Technicians trained in confined space safety ensure every area of the silo is evaluated thoroughly, no matter how challenging the space is.
Thorough Reports Backed by Visual Evidence
Every silo inspection includes a detailed report that serves as both a diagnostic tool and a roadmap for future maintenance. These reports include high-resolution photos, thickness measurements, and clear recommendations for addressing potential vulnerabilities. If repairs or upgrades are needed, the report provides all the information necessary to take action.

Why Regular Silo Inspections Are Non-Negotiable
Even the most robust silos are not immune to degradation. Constant exposure to pressure, materials, and environmental factors can lead to thinning walls, corrosion, or other structural problems. Scheduling regular inspections allows you to:
- Identify minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs
- Maintain a safe environment for workers and materials
- Keep your operations running smoothly without unexpected disruptions
A proactive approach to silo maintenance protects not just your equipment but also your bottom line.
