🟧⬛️🟧Our client came to us with a problem: during the winter months, their wood chip burner was using more chip than the existing container could store.🟧⬛️🟧
We sat down together and designed a solution to add around 15m³ of storage to the existing capacity of approximately 25m³.🟧⬛️🟧
We measured, designed and fabricated a custom chute container to sit on top of the existing one. We cut an opening in the original container, fitted the new container and secured it with custom brackets.

The chute sides were chamfered to help the wood chip flow naturally and stop it getting caught in the corners, which had been a problem before.
We spray foamed the container with closed cell insulation to help prevent condensation, then added ventilation around the top. Plastisol coated steel flashings create a watertight finish between the two containers.
The upper container’s steel doors open fully, allowing it to be filled with ton bags in an emergency if a wood chip delivery is delayed.
We also fitted galvanised steel Bauer couplings and fabricated a low-level filling chute, making it easy to fill the upper container from ground level.
Both containers were finished in RAL 5003 Sapphire Blue, giving the whole installation a fresh, smart finish. 🔵
