Gritting silo facility with wood silo and brine plant in Airolo

Switzerland

Grit silo system in Airolo with wooden salt silo and brine system

We could realise an entire gritting silo facility with salt silo and brine facility for the Federal Roads Office Astra in Ticino. The new replacement construction includes two round salt silos, each with a capacity of 500m3, an automatic weighing system, a Quanto brine generator and a brine tank.

Thanks to two extraction points, the filling of the gritting vehicles can be carried out efficiently.
