Interstices, the star shape bins that are formed in groups of silos where four round silos meet, have been used for decades. However, based on past inspections of silo groups, many interstices were not designed properly. This presentation will discuss some of the technical reasons to caution on the use of interstices. It will also give warning signs/conditions to seek at existing facilities, and discuss repair options.

Speaker of this education session was Gerry K. Lynskey.
