Bunker silo elements

Retaining walls of the highest quality

We offer bunker silo elements from CBS Beton, the largest retaining wall producer in Europe. The elements correspond to C60/75 high-grade concrete.

  • load capacity according to element type and project-specific dimensioning – L-walls can be loaded on one side, T- and U-walls on both sides
  • quick setting without a plinth on a gravel bed
  • easily widened or relocated later, as there is no steel connection to the in-situ concrete floor
  • manufactured in a controlled environment, high-frequency vibrated and fully cured
  • sealing strips on the end faces of the element feet seal the joints
  • smooth surface thanks to top-quality concrete – for many years

Construction process

A proven construction process in three steps

  1. Levelling and gravel bed

    Once the levelled base has been prepared, a gravel bed is laid with laser precision.

  2. Setting the elements

    Supervised delivery by lorry and setting with a special crane allow more than 100 metres of finished silo wall per day. The high dead weight guarantees a stable final position.

  3. Joints and floor

    Gaps are grouted with a special compound, then the floor slab is built – in in-situ concrete or special asphalt.

Corner, floor and wall comply with Swiss regulations and are recognised as a construction solution.
