TIMELAPSE of 25000 bushel grain bin BUILD & concrete pour

Timelapse of cement pad pouring and grain bin assembly! Construction work on canadian grain farm.
Building a farm yard and storing grain.
Yard was started in 2016 by running drainage tile underneath, trenching in 800 amp electrical service, spreading a layer of shale for base to drive on, and constructing graineries to store commodities, and installing aeration fans to cool off grain more rapidly and prevent spoilage.
Boulet Bros concrete from somerset manitoba canada mixed and poured, rondeaus built the forms and rebar, valley agro sold us the Brock bin and their crew assembled it.

[@davidfeatch1436]

Now place THREE spiral staircases around the bin at regular spaces and it will resist even weather that flattened all the silos in the recent 100+ MPH winds as seen on Cole the cornstars channel.

lol i feel like youre trolling me :p

[@fashionassasin1]

love it. very cool to see the steps as it gets made.

Thank you! Cheers!

cool video thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching!

I've done both these jobs for a living for three years and I gotta say the concrete work is a good workout but maybe the grain bin building puts more of a toll on you. Depends on size of group and everybody busy on their own duties makes everything go alot smoother. A bunch of 32s and 48s are nice to do. Working in Minnesota with a certain company with metal frames for the pouring. Man now those are tough.

[@windmillfarms2845]

That sounds like a grind!

[@mrcryptotraveller3024]

How do they raise the silo

a great over the Grain intake. It's that the little stuff right there that's going to save lives and prevent farm injuries, someone was thinking. (I have never seen that before in a grain bin)

[@windmillfarms2845]

farms and the ag industry has made leaps and bounds towards safety and wellbeing. hate to see people have reduced quality of life because of work related injurys

[@Firstpick22]

What size lumber did you use? Did you use plywood or flex board? Do you have a video of you forming it up before the pour

[@windmillfarms2845]

If I make another Timelapse, I’ll be sure to include it. Sorry

[@Rasp5557]

I also want to make a similar round house.

[@stephensalamone2966]

the first half of the video was grate but one thing ! how was the bin lifted ??!! or is that a secret you haft to buy a bin to see how it was lifting something so heavy ??!! hand jacks ?? no hydraulics ?

[@windmillfarms2845]

this was a set of hydraulic jacks that all lifted at the same time. In the past we've used cranes. this seemed safer option

[@carlossandoval8589]

@@windmillfarms2845 Can you tell me the capacity of the jacks ?

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

I was going to say half the crew were wizards

[@anthonyneufeld3711]

[@khinlwin7554]

Did you need piling before you lay the circular concrete foundation?

[@windmillfarms2845]

no cement piling. just solid base with thick cement pad

[@michaeldjoven80]

Hi! I just found this very nice build. Can you tell me how high the side is, I would like to make a model of it, found the base diameter 36". Any other measurements would be great also! Thank-you, Mike.

[@windmillfarms2845]

honestly not certain about dimensions of this grainery. i think its 12 sheets tall

[@michaeldjoven80]

Thank-you, Mike.@@windmillfarms2845

[@maynorsoto3995]

How many guys it take to build the bin and how long it takes to finish?

[@windmillfarms2845]

took 2.5 days per bin. crew was 6 guys not counting cement pour

[@Dream.big.dreams]

Do you have any videos of the jacks you used? I purchased 3 large 18’ diameter 2 story tall ones, but I have to take them down and I am not finding much information on how to do that! Do you have any ideas?

[@windmillfarms2845]

If they’re not too big, most people rent a bin crane to disassemble bins

[@Dream.big.dreams]

@@windmillfarms2845 where do you suppose I could rent a bin crane?

[@windmillfarms2845]

Pembina coop used to have one that you could run with a decent tractor on the front. Not sure who else Ag Twitter might be a good resource to finding one

[@stevenwilber4426]

How big is the concrete base???

[@anthonyneufeld3711]

About 36 feet wide if I remember correct

[@windmillfarms2845]

I think anthony is correct.

[@andyhutch8262]

That takes me back to 1964, I was roped into a gang of 3 to erect Simplex silo's, sheets were steel, covered both sides with vitreous enamel, though the sheets were much smaller than yours, they were about as heavy as a fit adult man could lift. We erected them exactly same way as this tower bin was, ring first, mushroom on an extending mast in the middle, we were given 3.5 days to erect a finished silo, we started work every morning at 6am, 30 minutes break at mid day, knock off at 10pm, we worked 7 days a week, it was very hard for me being only 15yrs of age, we would spend 3 solid months doing nothing else but erecting silo's, ones we did were about 3/4 hight of yours & base 3/4 width. Some we erected on a hopper base, 45 degree angle, like a massive cone, we filled cone with straw bales and a timber platform in the centre for the mushroom's platform to sit on, it wasnt good working in this environment, good for the farmer, not once ever brushing/shoveling, the 5in auger was lowered down a 45 degree chute into the bottom of the cone.....I did this erecting towers for another 10yrs, by then I had strength of sumo wrestler in my arms, but a knackered back!!

[@windmillfarms2845]

Thanks for sharing Andy! sounds like an amazing experience

Hello! We have a KZbin channel and would like to know if we could use some of your content from this video

[@windmillfarms2845]

What content specifically and do you pay$?

[@maykeloft]

A question friend, how much do they pay per hour in those jobs and do they give extra time?

[@windmillfarms2845]

not sure. this was a crew that came in to do the job

[@davidfeatch1436]

Nah I really enjoyed the work you have done. Just would not like to see what happened to the Cornstars happen to you :D

[@windmillfarms2845]

100%

[@jimmystrain883]

I bet those are very expensive

[@windmillfarms2845]

broken down on a cost per bushel basis of storage, they're quite a bit less expensive then grain bags or hopper bottoms
