3. Before You Begin

3.1. Bin Design and Capacity
Standard Westeel Grain Bins are designed for:
1. Non-corrosive free-flowing materials up to 55 lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3) average compacted bulk density.
2. Maximum horizontal wind pressure based on 94 mph (151 km/h) as per NBCC 2015 and
105 mph (169 km/h) as per ASCE 7-16.
3. Zero seismic activity.
Note
Seismic resistance in grain bins varies with height and diameter. Many standard designs have
significant seismic capabilities. Designs can be reviewed and/or modified to reflect local seismic
requirements.
4. Roof loading capabilities vary with diameter, peak load and snow load.
a. Peak Loads – standard peak loads follow. Upgrades are available.
Table 1. Peak Loads for Various Roofs

Size Type of Roof Load (lbs) Load (kg)
15’ to 24’ non-structural 4000 lbs 1814 kg
27’ to 48’ non-structural 5000 lbs 2268 kg
51’ & 54’ non-structural 8000 lbs 3629 kg
48’ to 108’ structural 20,000 lbs 9072 kg
b. Roof Snow Loads (RSL) – at the above stated standard peak loads, standard RSLs vary with diameter and
range from 16 psf (78 kg/m2) to 45 psf (220 kg/m2). Upgrades are available.
Note
The correlation between ground snow load (GSL) and roof snow load (RSL) for grain bin designs
vary with jurisdictions. In the US GSL = 2 x RSL. In Europe GSL = 1.25 x RSL. In Canada the
correlation between GSL and RSL varies and is site specific.
c. For maximum roof snow load capacities for various sizes and types of roofs, refer to the Roof Design

3.1.3 Roof Snow Load vs. Ground Snow Load

The Roof Design Capacity tables reflect roof snow load (RSL) values. These are design values. Often,
comparisons are made to ground snow values (GSL). These are not the same. The conversion from GSL to RSL
varies between jurisdictions and is governed by building codes:
• In the United States, for grain bins, GSL = RSL x 2
• In Europe, for grain bins, GSL = RSL x 1.25
198862 R62 13
• In Canada, for grain bins, the GSL/RSL conversion varies with every location across the country. However, for
comparison purposes, the US conversion can be used as an approximation.
Therefore, when comparing against competitive GSL values in the US, double the above values. When
comparing against competitive GSL values in Canada, double the above values for a reasonably close
approximation.
3.2. Guidelines for Supporting Catwalks and other External Loads

on Westeel
Frequently catwalk and related equipment loads are supported on grain bins. Such connections are commonly
made into the grain bin stiffeners and across the peak. A grain bin is a thin shell structure primarily designed to
withstand the internal uniformly distributed loads inherent with the stored bulk material inside of the bin.
Special considerations must be given to the manner in which external loads are supported. Westeel has
developed products which are compatible with these requirements and considerations. If a third party solution
is provided, the provider assumes full responsibility of the structure, its load distribution, and the manner in
which it is connected to the grain bin. The following guidelines must form part of the third party design
considerations.
Connection to Stiffeners
1. The available catwalk support stiffeners in Westeel stiffened bins are for 10,000 lb incremental catwalk
loads and 20,000 lb incremental catwalk loads per upgraded stiffener. The actual loads subjected to a single
stiffener by the mating catwalk support shall not exceed these maximum capacities.
2. Westeel recommends that the vertical load transfer between the catwalk supports and the stiffener occur
over a minimum distance of 66” for 10,000 lb loads and 120” for 20,000 lb loads. Adequate connection
strength must be provided.
3. The catwalk support stiffener in Westeel bins are designed to provide vertical load support only. Any lateral
loads subjected to the grain bin must be negligible.
4. There is a restriction of 2 upgraded catwalk support stiffeners per bin location. Therefore, the maximum
supported load at the grain bin eave is 20,000 lbs (for two 10,000 lb upgrades) and 40,000 lbs (for two
20,000 lb upgrades). This can be repeated on the opposing side of the bin at a second location. Deviation
from this must be approved by Westeel Engineering.
Connection to Peak Rings

1. The allowable vertical peak load to any Westeel bin roof is restricted to its published rated capacity. The
load must be centered and evenly distributed into the peak ring. Any off-centre load and/or improper load
distribution may cause roof failure.
2. A Westeel structural roof requires the peak support loads to be transferred directly into the compression
ring/roof rafter system. This is accomplished with peak load support brackets that are included with the
structural roof. They must be installed as shown in the structural roof manual, connecting the peak support
structure to the compression ring. They are required even if a non-Westeel peak support structure is used. A
non-Westeel peak support structure needs to be designed to be able to connect with the brackets. The
required bolt pattern is shown in the structured roof manual.
3. A Westeel non-structural roof that is supporting a catwalk requires six clips to be installed in order to attach
the flat cap to the peak ring. These clips are available from Westeel.
14 198862 R62
3.3. Foundation Design and Loads

The foundations for the stiffened bin models are based on 4000 lbs. per sq. ft. (192 kPa) soil bearing capacity.
All foundation designs use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) ultimate compressive strength (after 28 days) for
concrete and 43,500 lbs. per sq. in. (300 MPa) re-bar. The foundation designs included in this manual are
suggestions only, and will vary according to local soil conditions. Westeel will not assume any liability for results
arising from their use.
Important
Foundation should be uniform and level. Level should not vary by more than ¼" over a span of four feet
under the bottom ring angle. Any variance from level must be shimmed under upright base assembly. If
being utilized to support a full floor aeration system, this levelness requirement should extend across
the complete floor area.
3.4. Site and Assembly

Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, Westeel does not take responsibility for any defects or
damages to any property, or injury to any persons, arising from or related to any site or assembly
considerations, including but not limited to:
• Bin location and bin siting
• Soil conditions and corresponding foundation requirements
(Note that the examples provided in manuals are for specifically stated soil conditions.)
• Bin assembly (Westeel recommends the use of qualified bin installers).
Contact Westeel for information on installers in your area.
• Field modifications or equipment additions that affect the bin structure
• Interconnections with neighboring structures
• Compliance with all applicable safety standards, including but not limited to fall restraint systems (ladders or
other systems). Local safety authorities should be contacted as standards vary between jurisdictions.
3.5. Methods of Installation

The recommendations for assembling and installing Westeel grain bins must be closely followed to achieve the
full strength of the bin and to achieve adequate weather sealing. The product warranty is void if:
1. Wall sheets and/or uprights not specified for a given tier are used.
2. Foundations are found to be inadequate or out-of-level.
3. Anchor bolts (cast-in-place, drill-in, chemical type or other) are found to be inadequate.
4. Off-center loading or unloading is used. (This does not apply to the use of approved side unloading
systems).
5. Materials stored are not free-flowing or have a compacted bulk density greater than 55 lbs/ft3 (880
kg/m3).
If using bin jacks during assembly, always lift on an upright. Choose a hoist with an adequate capacity for the
expected empty bin deadload. Make sure the rated capacity of the hoist is not exceeded.
198862 R62 15
3.6. Cutting Openings in Wide-Corr® Grain Bins

This section provides instructions for cutting openings to accommodate fan transitions, unloading augers and
roof vents.

3.7. Critical Assembly Requirements

To ensure a successful, safe and reliable outcome you must comply with the following assembly techniques and
practices:
1. Comply with all local code and jurisdictional requirements applicable to your grain bin installation.
2. Design and build foundations with the necessary strength for the loads they must support, and for local soil
conditions. Westeel foundation guidelines are based on specific stated conditions and may not be applicable
to local conditions.
3. Your foundation must provide uniform and level support to the structure being supported. Surface
imperfections causing gapping must be remedied. This may involve, but not be limited to a) grouting under
the bottom ring of a non-stiffened bin or tank, and b) shimming under the uprights of a stiffened bin or
tank, or under the legs of a hopper.
4. Make sure that the proper hardware is utilized for all bolted connections. If a shortage occurs, do not
substitute. Take the necessary steps to obtain the proper hardware. Make sure nuts are tightened to the
required torque values as specified in the appropriate assembly manual.
5. Comply with all assembly instructions provided in the appropriate assembly manual to make sure your
whole grain bin is constructed safely. Important: Do not deviate from the wall sheet and upright layouts
provided.
6. Before anchoring your structure to its foundation, make sure the structure is round. The maximum variation
from perfect roundness is 3/4" on the radius. Locate anchor bolts toward the outside of the anchor bolt
holes (away from the circle) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.
7. When installing roof stiffening rings, if it is necessary to shorten the stiffening ring tubes, shorten them as
little as possible. Initially the nuts on the expanders should be centered and as close together as possible.
When tightening, share the amount of take-up between expanders such that the nuts remain centered, and
the amount of engagement between all expanders on the same ring is equalized.
8. If extending an existing bin or tank, ensure that the foundation is adequate for the increased loads it must
support.
9. If installing an existing bin on a hopper, make sure the bin is designed for a hopper application, and that the
foundation is capable of withstanding the substantial point loads that the hopper legs apply. If uprights are
present, make sure that they are supported.
10. Make sure that an integral end-to-end connection exists between all mating uprights. Successive uprights
must not overlap.
11. Vertical tolerances between uprights and wall sheets are tight. This can be affected by “jacking” techniques,
which can allow the tolerance to grow or shrink depending on the technique used. The gapping between
successive uprights must be monitored to ensure that upright holes align with wall sheet holes.
12. If catwalks are being installed on the structure, upright catwalk upgrades are likely required. The upgraded
stiffeners must be installed in the correct locations to support the intended catwalk loads. Also, the
structure must be properly oriented to ensure the eventual correct alignment between the catwalks and the
supporting uprights. Finally, the connectors that tie into the uprights and support the catwalks are best
installed during assembly of the structure. See the catwalk assembly manual for additional details.

3.8. Product Storage

Rust on Galvanized Parts
1. White rust forms when moisture is allowed to collect on galvanized surfaces that have yet to develop the
durable zinc oxide layer. This zinc oxide layer naturally occurs as the surface interacts with carbon dioxide,
and is characterized over time by the dull grey appearance that weathered galvanized surfaces get.
2. Parts that are not well ventilated or well drained can collect water between surfaces and develop white rust.

concerns with installation and use, Westeel does not recommend the use of oil on other parts such as roof
sheets and safety ladders.
3.9. Grain Bin Use

• Do not off-center unload a grain bin. It is imperative to unload from the center of the bin first, until as much
grain as possible has been removed, and only then proceed to unload from the next closest unload gate to
the center. Continue utilizing the unload gates in succession from the center towards the outside. Gate
control mechanisms should be clearly marked and interconnected to prevent an external gate from being
opened first.
• The only exception to center unloading is when a properly designed and installed side draw system is
utilized. However, as bins tend to go out of round when employing side draws, the bin must be completely
emptied before refilling.
• When unloading a bin with a mobile auger through a properly designed auger chute, the entry end of the
auger should be pushed into the center of the bin before the auger is engaged. Slower rates of flow are
preferable and should not exceed the capacity of an 8” auger.
• Ensure that the inner door panels of grain bin doors are completely closed and latched before filling the
grain bin.
• Never enter a loaded grain bin for any reason. Grain can be a killer.
3.10. Important Notes

• Westeel does not provide a foundation design for this product, and is not liable for any damages or injuries
related to inadequately designed or constructed foundations. Customers must contract professional services
for all foundation design and construction work.
• In order to maintain your wall sheets in good condition separate sheets and allow air circulation between
them. Store sheets in a dry place. Do not store sheets with sheet ends pointing upwards.
• To keep an even pressure on walls, the bin must always be unloaded from the center.
• Contact local power officials for minimum power line clearance.
• See Section 3.7 – Critical Assembly Requirements on page 17 for mandatory siting and assembly
requirements.
• Store only non-corrosive, free-flowing materials up to 55 lbs/ft3 (880 kg/m3) average compacted density in
Westeel .
• Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque settings.
• Do not locate grain bins close to high buildings, which might cause snow to fall onto or build up on the roof
of the grain bin. Consider future expansion and allow space for loading and unloading of the bin. Your dealer
and local government agricultural consultants can help you plan your storage system for maximum
efficiency.

15' – 54' FARM SERIES GRAIN BIN – WIDE-CORR® GRAIN BIN 5. ASSEMBLY
5. Assembly
Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
5.1. Assembly Safety

• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to handle.
Always use the proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the job.
• Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.
• Always have two or more people assembling the grain bin.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute bolts,
nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer.
• Stay away from overhead power lines and other obstructions during assembly. Contact with
power lines can cause electrocution.
• Do not work in high winds.
• The equipment shall be installed in accordance with applicable local codes and regulations.
5.2. Foundation Construction

1. Choose a site that is well drained and has a minimum soil-bearing capacity of 3700 lbs. per sq. ft. (177 kPa).
If soil-bearing capacity is not known, consult a local engineering representative.
2. Use 4” to 6” (100-150 mm) of well compacted coarse gravel below slab and ring footing.
3. Use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) concrete.
4. Make sure the foundation is level. The bin wall must have a uniform support to carry the wall loads and
weather-sealing the bottom is made easier if the foundation is level. Camber the outside edge of the
concrete to ensure that water drains.
5. The bin may be anchored using either 1/2” drill-in anchor bolts or 1/2” cast-in-place anchor bolts as shown
in Detail B in Section 5.4 – Foundation Detail and Anchor Bolt Layout on page 23. Layout dimensions are
provided in Section 5.3 – Foundation Specifications on page 22.
6. Install one anchor bolt for every hole provided (6 per bottom ring angle section).
Note
For areas where wind speeds exceed 100km/h, use an additional 5/8” washer underneath the 1/2”
anchor bolt washer. The 5/8” washer should have an OD of at least 1.4” and a thickness of a least 1/
10”. This is needed to provide adequate resistance against angle uplift.
7. Additional information for rebar:
a. 15” rebar end laps are included in weights
b. Standard length assumed to be 6 m (19 ft., 8 in.)
c. Add 15” (380 mm) for each additional lap if using shorter lengths

5. ASSEMBLY
5.5. Typical Non-Structural Roof Installation

The following is a step-by-step procedure for assembling a non-structural roof system.
Preparation
1. Inspect the concrete foundation to insure that the foundation meets all the requirements of the installation.
2. Plan the assembly:
a. Determine the desired bin orientation.
b. Determine the locations of bin features and accessories (Westeel logo, fall restraint brackets, Grain
Gauge, unloading devices, outside ladder, spiral stairs).
These considerations affect the location of the inspection hatch roof panel and the placement of the roof
ladder or roof stairs.
3. Prepare the peak ring:
a. Install the supplied bulb gasket around the top of the peak ring. Trim to fit.
b. Install the foam closure gasket around the center section of the peak ring. Trim to fit.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 24.

The radius values given in the chart are 3/4" smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom.
This ensures that the scribed circle can be seen during assembly. A perfectly placed ring of
sheets should be 3/4" on the outside of this scribed circle.
c. Scribe the bin circumference onto the foundation.
Important
Follow these steps carefully. It is imperative that the bin be as round as possible.

Assemble the Top Tier of Wall Sheets

1. Assemble a single tier of wall sheets if single-tier uprights are included in the bin package.
2. Assemble two tiers if two-tier uprights are included in the bin package.
3. Refer to the Appendix for information on proper hardware usage.
4. After the first ring of wall sheets has been assembled, check the position and roundness of the ring:
a. Verify that the bin is round, with no more than 0.75" variation on the radius, when measured from the
center of the bin.
b. Verify that the wall sheets form a smooth circle with no flat spots or cauliflower shaped curves.
Note
Correcting for roundness becomes much more difficult the longer you wait.
5. When setting jacks, make sure they are also set round and that they are anchored to the concrete.
198862 R62 25
Install the Top Ring Angle Sections

Important
Read and fully understand the following instructions before attaching the top ring angles to the top of
the wall sheets. There are timing considerations for the inspection hatch, outside ladder, inside ladder,
rib caps, and other components.
1. Attach the top ring angle to the inside top of the wall sheets.
a. Do not align the top ring angle joints with wall sheet joints.
b. Make sure that the top ring angle joints are at least two or three wall sheet holes away from the Grain
Gauge cutout.
c. If building a stiffened bin, do not install the top angle bolt that lines up with the stiffener holes at this
time. It needs to be installed with the stiffeners.
2. There are six pairs of vertically aligned circular and square holes in the top ring angle. (See Figure 5 on page
26)
a. These are used to attach the center holes at the bottom of the roof sheets to the top ring angle. This
locks in the correct centering location of the roof sheets, which is important for locating roof accessories
such as the inspection hatch, roof ladder, rib caps, and roof stairs, etc.
b. Whichever pair of vertically aligned circular or square holes you choose to attach the first roof sheet
center hole to, the next pair of vertically aligned circular or square holes over, to the left or right, will be
used as a Bird Stop location. (See Figure 5 on page 26)
c. The next pair of vertically aligned circular or square holes over from the Bird Stop location, will be
another roof sheet center hole location.
d. This pattern will repeat all the way around the bin.
Note
To make timing easier of other parts, and accessories on the bin, best practice is to mark all
important locations on the top angle using a marker.
3. Because the inspection hatch is in the center of the roof sheet, the inspection hatch will be centered on one
set of the vertically aligned circular or square holes.
a. If this bin is equipped with an inside ladder, center the inspection hatch above the inside ladder.
b. Do not align the inside ladder with stiffeners.
c. Do not attach inside ladder brackets at stiffener locations or vertical seams.
4. The slots in the top ring angle align with the other non-center holes in the roof sheet.
Note
If using bin jacks through the top ring angle, jack bolts will need to be longer. Knowing jack
placement before attaching the top ring angles will eliminate the need for replacing bolts.

Tip
The narrow end of the roof panels gets pushed into the foam closure. Once this occurs there is little
room for adjustment at the top end as the roof panel is embedded in the foam. Sometimes the roof
panels get “flattened” slightly from bundling, shipping and handling. It is relatively easy to push the
ribs together slightly but this should occur before the panel is seated in the foam. Monitor the
alignment of mating roof panels with the underlying holes in the peak ring and make adjustments, if
necessary, before anchoring the roof panel into the foam.
Important
Be careful when attaching the bottom of the roof panels to the top ring angle. The center round
holes at the bottom of the roof panels must align with either the vertically-aligned round or square
holes in the top ring angle. This locks in the correct centering location for the roof sheet. The other
non-centre holes in the bottom of the roof sheet align with the round slots in the top ring angle.
3. Make sure that the gap between the roof panel and the peak-ring is sealed by the foam closure.
4. Install the remaining roof panels, working in a counter clockwise direction:
a. Attach the center roof panel hole first.
b. Use two bolts at each roof panel to peak ring connection.
c. Fill in every bolt hole in roof panel ribs with rubber washered bolts to the outside and nuts on the
underside.
d. Make sure the left roof rib overlaps the right rib of the preceding panel. (See Detail 2 in Figure 9.)

Important
As assembly proceeds, additional support is advised to keep the peak ring level. Alternatively
sequentially add roof panels in the different quadrants such that the weight of the panels on the
peak ring remains uniformly distributed. Leave all roof bolts loose until the roof is completely
assembled, especially those at the peak ring and top ring angle locations.
e. Install rib caps as needed on top of the roof ribs. (See Install the Roof Rib Caps on page 31.)
f. If the number and diameter of optional roof stiffening rings is known, install the roof ring brackets (with
a neoprene gasket under each) in the double rib hole locations as you add roof panels. (See Detail 1
Figure 9 on page 29.)
5. Install vent roof panels where required, as the roof is being assembled.
Distribute vent roof panels evenly around the roof. Ensure that they do not interfere with other roof
elements such as roof stairs or rungs, rib caps, temperature cables, etc.

Details on page 39.)
Note
Install a set of rib caps on the roof ribs to the left of the roof ladder.
Note
Enough roof ladder rungs are supplied to bridge across every pair of holes on a single roof panel.
Where roof stiffening ring brackets are placed, the ladder rung can be skipped. The roof ring will
serve as a rung in this location. Roof ladder rungs are installed with the higher vertical flange facing
the peak ring.
30 198862 R62
Install the Roof Rib Caps

When assembling the Westeel bin roof, a new part has been added to the structure. They are
identified as Roof Rib Caps. These new parts are considered structural and must be
permanently installed on all bins sold in 2022 and after. See 7.3 Rib Cap Quantities, page 140
for rib cap part numbers and quantities needed for each bin model.
Note
It is recommended to install the SureTrack monitoring system at the same time as when the Westeel
bin roof is being installed. Refer to the SureTrack monitoring system installation manual for all
necessary parts and instructions.
Figure 11 shows a 24' diameter roof as an example of where to install the rib caps that are in sets of two (single
roof sheets).
Note
Roof sheets are numbered starting at the roof ladder sheet (roof sheet 1), in a counter-clockwise
direction.
Figure 11. 2404 Rib Caps Example
Note
If the inspection hatch is installed at a different location, additional timing considerations will be
needed for the rib caps.
Note
Timing considerations are needed for the RCO’s slide rod to avoid any roof sheets numbered in Table 8
and Table 9. If a fan is equipped, consider lining up the RCO’s slide rod and winch beside the fan.

For 15' to 39' bins, Follow the instructions below:

1. The rib cap’s label is located at the eave end to help orient the roof rib cap prior to sliding it up on the roof.
This will ensure the bolt hole pattern on the rib cap will match the roof rib.
2. As each roof panel is installed, if a rib cap is required, slide the rib cap on top of the roof rib until the rib
cap’s bottom hole towards the eave is in line with the roof rib’s bottom hole towards the eave. Then bolt
the roof rib cap onto the roof ribs.

2. Rib caps at peak cable locations are two-pieces connected with a splice. Install these rib caps as follows:
a. Slide the lower rib cap up on the roof rib first and bolt into place except for the two topmost holes
where the splice will be attached. Then slide the upper rib cap up on the roof rib just above the lower rib
cap and bolt into place except for the two bottom most holes where the splice will be attached.
b. Field drill four 0.375” diameter holes through the roof ribs using the upper and lower rib caps as
templates where the splice will be attached. Bolt on the splice.

2. Tighten the roof hardware.

3. Expand the nuts on the stiffening ring expanders until the slack has been taken up and the roof is snug.
a. Do not overtighten and crown the roof.
b. Nuts must be centered on the threaded rod.
c. Use the painted marking as a guide.
d. On rings with multiple expanders, the distance between the nuts on all of them should be equal. (See
Figure 16 on page 35.)
4. Slide retaining clip against one nut, bend clip over nut and flat against stiffening ring. Secure the retaining
clip to the stiffening ring with a self drilling screw. (See Figure 16 on page 35.)
5. Install u-bolts into stiffening ring brackets, tighten the u-bolts until stiffening ring is pulled tight against the
brackets. (See Figure 17 on page 36.)

Install Roof Rib Supports

Rib supports are an upgrade that provide additional load capacity when required. Rib supports vary in length,
depending on roof size and are designed to fit under the roof panel ribs. They run along the length of the rib
from the eave (at the bottom) to near the peak ring (at the top).
1. Install one rib support at each roof rib location:
a. Fit the rib support onto the shanks of the existing bolts used to join mating roof ribs.
b. Add a second nut to secure the rib supports to the ribs. (See Rib Support Connection Detail in Figure 18
on page 38.)

5.6. Roof Ladder Details

1. Locate the roof panel containing the roof ladder components to the left or right of the inspection hatch, and
in line with the outside ladder.
2. Recommended (for convenience): Attach the roof ladder and a section of the outside ladder early, when the
roof section is at ground level.
3. Start at the bottom of the roof with the longest ladder rung supplied and move up the roof using
progressively shorter ladder rungs.
4. Bolt ladder rungs to the roof panel ribs using the pre-drilled holes in the ribs.
5. Use 5/16" x 1-1/4" hex bolts and hex nuts (bolts above and nuts underneath).
Note
Make sure that a STL/NEO sealing washer is installed between the ladder rung and the roof sheet.
Note
The ladder rung is oriented with the vertical portion facing up towards the peak ring. When a ladder
rung is located at a double hole pattern designed for a roof-ring element, bolt through the upper
holes and fill the other holes with a 1" hex bolt. No ladder rung is used at a roof-ring location. The
ring itself will serve as a step. This ladder rung can be discarded or saved for another job.

5.9. Lifting Wide-Corr® Bins with Cranes

The table below lists the maximum height and weight limits for each diameter of bin which Westeel approves
for lifting by the roof using a crane. These limits assume that the total lifted load is evenly distributed around
the peak ring, through the use of a lifting tripod or similar device of adequate strength. Any bin exceeding
EITHER the height or weight limit MUST be lifted using jacks or similar method which supports the wall sheets
directly.
These limits are critical. Failure during lifting carries the risk of serious injury or death.
Table 12. Lifting Weights for Various Bin Sizes

Bin Diameter Maximum Tier Height Approximate Weight
15’
16’ 7 5,200 lbs
18’
21’
8 9,000 lbs
24’
27’ 8 11,000 lbs
30’ 8 13,000 lbs
Important Safety Notes

• Limits above are based on safe lifting of the bin only. They are not based on design factors for lifting people
or objects over people. Adequate safety blocks or supports must be used when working under or near the
bin wall.
• Extreme caution must be used when lifting bins more than a few inches, as occurs when mounting bins on
hoppers. “Bouncing” of the load and/or wind gusts can add significantly to the loads on the roof and could
cause overloading and/or failure.
• Please refer to any additional capacity information, lifting instructions, and safety information provided by
the crane manufacturer.

5.10. Inspection Hatch Details

Installation of inspection hatch
1. Place the inspection hatch gasket (235882) around the lip of the inspection hatch opening. Trim the gasket
to fit if necessary.
2. Bolt on the hatch lid assembly (235890) with 5/16" x 1" bolts provided for the roof. For best sealing results,
the bolt heads should be on the underside of the roof panel, with the sealing washers pressed against the
roof panel.
3. Bolt on the latch assembly (235891) as shown below. The latch is positioned on the center hole of the roof
panel and bolts through the top ring angle as shown.

The Grain Gauge™ is a clear polycarbonate unit that shows when the grain level reaches the top of the sidewall.
The highly reflective tape is visible at night when a light is directed at it. When you can no longer see this
reflective tape - the Grain Gauge™ is full and the grain auger should be shut off. The Grain Gauge™ and
reflective strip comes packaged in the parts box.

5.13. Bin Roundness

It is imperative that the bin be as round as possible. The following steps describe how to ensure the bin is
round.
1. Verify that the foundation meets all the requirements of the installation.
2. Scribe the bin circumference onto the foundation as follows:
a. Anchor a string to the exact center of the concrete foundation.
b. Consult the following table to find the scribe radius for the size of the bin being assembled.
c. Using the required string length, scribe the bin circumference onto the foundation.
The radius values given in the chart are 3/4–inch smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom. This
ensures that the scribed circle can be seen during assembly. A perfectly placed ring of sheets should be
3/4 inch on the outside of this scribed circle.
3. After the first ring of wall sheets has been assembled, check the position and roundness of the ring:
a. Verify that the maximum amount that the bin is out of round is no more than 0.75" on the radius, when
measured from the center of the bin.
b. Verify that the wall sheets form a smooth circle with no flat spots or cauliflower shaped curves.
c. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, re-check to ensure that the bin is round and within
tolerance.
Correcting for roundness becomes much more difficult the longer you wait.
4. Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt slots (away from bin) to permit the incremental
expansion that can occur with the initial filling of the bin.
5. When setting jacks, make sure they are also set round and that they are anchored to the concrete.

from the closest
198862 R62 brackets to avoid interference with the splice. When progressing around the bin, this 109
space between the end of the tube and the next brackets may shrink with each additional tube that is
installed. On large diameter bins, if this space shrinks to the point where the wind ring splice interferes
Tip
When placing the first wind ring tube in place, place one end close to an upright with a 8” to 10”
overhang, and continue building from that end. This will reduce the need for multiple cuts.
7. Make all wind ring splice connections in the space between brackets. Do not encroach into the area where
the wind ring clips are securing the wind ring tube to the brackets.
8. To avoid interference with brackets and the need to make multiple cuts, position an end of the first tube
relatively close to a bracket, such that the space between the end of the tube and the next bracket is
maximized, and build from that end.
9. Ensure that both ends of the tube are far enough away from the closest brackets to avoid interference with
the splice.
When progressing around the bin, this space between the end of the tube and the next brackets may shrink
with each additional tube that is installed. On large diameter bins, if this space shrinks to the point where
the wind ring splice interferes with the bracket, then the tube will need to be cut. Make the cut such that
the space that is created between the end of the tube and the next bracket is similar to the identical space
on the first tube that was installed. In this manner, there will not be a shortage of tube.
Tip
When tightening wind ring clips, always tighten in sequence starting at the spliced end of the tube,
which has already been secured, and work towards the free, and as yet unspliced, end.
10. The final wind ring tube in a circle will need to be cut to length. Secure one end of the last tube in the
previously installed wind ring splice as described above.
11. Hold the tube in place and mark the cut-line relative to the previously installed tube at the other end.
12. Ensure that allowance is made for the 3/8” diameter bolt.
13. Once the tube has been cut, install one end of the tube as described above.
14. On the other end slide the wind ring splice completely onto the free end.
15. Position this end relative to the previously installed tube, and slide the splice onto the second tube until it is
centered.
16. Insert the centering bolt.
17. Install all wind ring clips.
18. Tighten all bolts.
5.19. Door Installation

Install the door from the inside of the bin using 3/8” x 1½” bolts. The door should overlap the top spacer sheet
as shown below. Place caulking on the top spacer sheet above and below the row of holes where it will meet
with the door frame. The bottom spacer sheet overlaps the door from the inside as shown. Place caulking above
and below the row of holes where it will meet the door frame. Both spacer sheets must be installed below the
door if auger chute and full floor aeration are used. Locate door tie-back to secure door in open position.
Any of the chain links can be used to bolt through to the bin at an existing or field drilled wall sheet or stiffening
hole. Chain links can be cut if shorter door tie back is needed. The door tie back uses a hook to attach to the
door handle’s lockable ring.

5.24. Hopper Cone to Bin Installation

New Bin Application
Use only Westeel Hopper Cones which are specifically designed to suit Westeel Wide-Corr Bins. When installing
a hopper cone to a new bin installation refer to the following instructions:
1. Pour the foundation as per instructions provided with your hopper.
• Ensure the foundation has fully cured before continuing the assembly of your bin.
• If a Westeel skid base is used, a compacted gravel base can be used instead of a concrete foundation.
• Follow the soil bearing information and site preparation instructions in Section 3. – Before You Begin on
page 11.
2. Assemble the bin as per the instructions in Section 5. – Assembly on page 21.
• For wall sheet layouts for the 15’ – 24’ bin for hopper, refer to Section 5.25 – Wall Sheet Layouts - EFS
Series on page 118.
• The bottom ring angle and door installation instructions may be disregarded when your WC bin is
installed on a hopper cone.
3. Position hopper cone on foundation and align hopper with bin as shown in Figure 37 on page 117.
• Ensure all bottom holes on the bottom wall sheets are clear of bolts.
4. Use of a bin crane to lift your bin is recommended.
• Ensure the crane and all other lifting devices have adequate capacity to handle the maximum bin weight
safely.
• Lift the bin by placing a round support or 'tripod' inside the bin, directly under the vent collar.
5. Leave the vertical seam bolts loose on the bottom tier only for easy assembly.
6. Align the bin with the cone as shown in Figure 37 on page 117.
7. Fasten the bin to hopper cone with 3/8” x 1-1/2” bolts, nuts and washers.
8. Insert one bolt on one side, the next bolt on the opposite side of bin, then the next two bolts at right angles
to the first two.
This will position the bin on the hopper properly.
9. Once the bin is in place, insert all other bolts and tighten the loose bolts.
Important
• Use only lifting devices of adequate rated capacity.
• Make sure the hopper cone is level and all load points contact the foundation.
• Make sure all fasteners are tightened as per torque instructions in Section 7.6 – Recommended Bolt
Assembly on page 147.

6.2. Foundation Loads - Farm Bin (WFS)

Important
• Grain Bin Anchoring: Adequate anchoring is critical to a successful bin installation. The anchoring of
the bin is dependent on local wind loading conditions and forms part of the site specific design
requirements. The anchor bolt details must form part of the site specific foundation design.
• For stiffened bins the primary anchor bolt locations are through the base plates at each and every
upright location. The anchor bolt design, plus connection details to the base plate, must
accommodate the total shear and uplift loads that can occur due to wind loading at the site in
question.
• In addition Westeel suggests the use of 1/2" x 3" embedment anchor bolts through the bottom ring
angle to insure bin roundness, for sealing purposes, and for additional localized lateral stability.

7.6. Recommended Bolt Assembly

When tightening bolts, tighten the nut on the bolt until a “snug-tightened condition” has been achieved. A
“snug-tightened condition” is defined in Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts
(Research Council on Structural Connections: June 2004), which states:
“The snug-tightened condition is the tightness that is attained with a few impacts of an impact wrench or the
full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary spud wrench to bring the connected plies into firm contact.”
A properly tightened bolt will compress the sealing washer noticeably. All assembly crew members must be
made aware of this requirement, and must know how to achieve a snug-tightened condition using common bin-
building tools.
It is important that the bolts in the vertical wall sheet seams are tightened enough to squeeze the caulking and
bring the wall sheet surfaces into firm contact with each other. This is especially important to monitor when
installing bolts in temperatures approaching -10°C (14°F).
The following table shows the minimum impact gun torque capacity necessary to achieve a snug-tightened
condition for bolts used in the assembly process.
Table 53. Recommended Impact Gun Torque Values Capacity to Achieve Snug-Tightened Bolts

7/16" Grade 8.2 600 50 68
1/2” Grade 8.2 960 80 108
5/8” Grade 8.2 1800 150 203
3/4” Grade 5 3230 269 365
For proper sealing, do not overtighten the wall seam connections. Sealing is not critical on upright splice
connections; these connections should be tightened securely to prevent loosening.
Hold the bolt head securely when tightening the nut to prevent damage to the sealing washer.
Important
ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE NUT, NOT THE BOLT.
Avoid bin assembly at temperatures below -10°C (14°F) if possible. Erection in low temperatures does not
ensure strong, well sealed connections. Do not substitute bolts in place of those supplied by Westeel.
