Surviving the Worst
When we say concrete silos are durable, we mean it. Just look at the silos that stood strong through the Greensburg EF5 Tornado—proof that our construction can handle even the most extreme conditions.

Why Choose Concrete For Your Silo?
When you’re building a storage silo, choosing the right material is the most critical decision you’ll make. At Borton, we specialize in custom-built cement silos tailored to your specs. We can build silos with a diameter of up to 165 feet and beyond, and towering structures reaching 460 feet plus. With options for slipform or jumpform construction, they’re built to handle capacities from 1,000 tons and up.
Here’s why concrete should be your go-to material for silo construction.
The Advantages of Cement Silos
Lower Upfront Cost: Concrete is less expensive than steel for major savings on the initial investment.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Concrete silos need less frequent repairs and maintenance compared to steel, which is prone to rust and corrosion.
Seamless Construction: Concrete is mixed and formed while wet for a seamless structure without the need for additional processes or treatments.
Versatility in Design: Concrete allows for many configurations and customization to meet unique storage needs.
Resistance to Abrasion: Concrete is resistant to internal abrasive wear, which makes it perfect for storing granular materials.
Withstands High Pressure: Concrete silos can withstand much higher levels of internal and external pressure than other material choices, without warping or losing their shape.
Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, concrete doesn’t rust, even in high-moisture environments.
Weather Resilience: Concrete can withstand extreme weather conditions without compromising the structure.
