About Us – Infrastructure
Techno Designs was established in 1993 and currently has
7,000 m2 of production area spread over 3 facilities and an
open area of 12,000 m2. The company started off as a
designer and manufacturer of process equipment for solids
grinding and classification, and paint and resin processing
equipment.
We ventured into the Silo systems business in 2011
providing complete design, manufacturing, handling and
installation services.
We provide our products to various industries including -

Silo Design And Fabrication
Our Fabrication Methods – Best practices

• Pre – fabrication testing

• Testing for Mechanical & Chemical properties
• PVC blue film for surface protection
• Dimensional tolerances

• Welders qualified under TUV India for all weld

positions and procedures specific to Silo
fabrication.
• WPS & PQR established for any new welding method to be
involved in the silo
• WPQ qualification done for every welder every year to
qualify to weld on the silo

• Extensive documentation procedures are pre-

established along with all TPI inspection points
clarified in our Q.A.P.

Silo Design And Fabrication
For site silos – Fabrication at our Shopfloor

• Edge bevelling and weld edge preparation

• Pre-bending and stacking of plates on heavy duty

lifting frames.

• All connection and nozzle work, access ladders,

railing and platforms, base rings and templates
are pre-fabricated and checked.

• All items are containerizable to save on shipping

costs in a combination of HC and OT containers

• Tools, tackles and welding machinery are also

shipped along with the Raw material

11
Silo Design And Fabrication
Our Fabrication Methods – For site silos – At site

• Exclusively vertically fabricated vessel

• Aluminium silos have to be fabricated vertically
• Judicious use of cranes and crane capacities to
save on costs
• Limited use of ground space by an assembly line
station type system

• Cone and Roof portions get fabricated first.

• Silo can be fabricated in two parts and integrated

on the installation location.

• Utilities such as electricity, compressed air and

water, along with weld shield gas to be provided
by the client.

12
Feature Multi Chamber Silos

• A Specialized Solution for

• Small batch quantities
• Wide Product Range
• Limited ground space

• Massive savings on Land Area Requirement

• Chamber formation achieved by internal

separation cone. Internal piping for material
discharge, venting and feeding is pre-fit.

• Multiple volume segregation options with a

maximum of 4 vertically integrated
chambers possible.
