Figure 8: Silos Building – Anomalies

Proceedings:

  1. Material tests must be performed to determine the extent of the damage the water infiltration has caused in the slabs as it is difficult to establish this only by visual inspection. Repairs must be done according to the results obtained.

  2. The building must be examined to determine the cause of the infiltration in the slabs.

  3. The waterproofing membrane of the roof slab must be replaced with a new waterproofing system. The appointed Contractor must present beforehand, the technical specifications of the waterproofing material they intend to use, for approval.

  4. The lateral roof sheeting of the adjacent building (malt crane area) must be replaced with a new one.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that the gutter downpipes are inspected to identify any faults that might be causing the infiltration in the building.
