Concrete Silos

Since Hoffmann’s expansion into industrial bulk storage silos, we have built over 600 silos throughout the United States. By utilizing jumpform techniques in the construction of our concrete silos, we can offer you a variety of options.

Whether your storage needs are big or small, Hoffmann provides quality construction. Our experience offers you the confidence and versatility needed to complete your project in a safe, cost-effective and timely manner.

Why Choose a Hoffmann Concrete Silo?

Exceptional Durability

Resistant to abrasive wear and impact loads, ensuring long-term reliability.

Optimal Storage Conditions

Protects stored materials from environmental factors while maximizing capacity.

Space-Saving Design

Requires a smaller footprint than flat storage, with no height limitations.

Faster Unloading & Lower Costs

High-speed side discharge reduces labor and eliminates payloader expenses.

Versatile Roof Usage

Secure placement for additional equipment, optimizing facility space.

Jumpform Process

The jumpform system consists of adjustable forms that permit diameter from 9ft to 112ft with varying wall thicknesses. The jumpform is a fully decked work platform which is self-contained and sets up in days.
In jumpform construction each ring of forms is 4 ft. tall. Three rings of forms are stacked on top of each other. After the top 4 feet of form is poured, the bottom section is removed and vertically jumped to the new top and then prepared for the next pour. This repetitive process of pouring and jumping up the lower set of forms continues until the structure is topped out.

Quality control during placement of rebar, pouring of concrete, and positioning of embeds
