The Purposes of Warehouses, and Basic Requirements
Warehouses are intended for the storage and physical protection of goods. In the context of grain storage, 'goods' primarily refers to bagged grain. It may also include materials and equipment required for the packaging and handling of bagged grain, and storage pest control; although, in an ideal situation, such items should be stored separately. The distinction is made between warehouses and flat stores, which are designed rather differently for the storage of grain in bulk and are discussed in Chapter 7.
Locating a Warehouse
The approximate location of a proposed warehouse for grain storage will have been decided already. However, the determination of its exact siting is a matter for engineers. If a large warehouse is planned, it is always prudent to involve local Civil Engineers at this stage.
Several factors need to be considered in selecting a suitable site. In the first instance the topography of the area has to be studied. It is preferable to erect the warehouse on level ground, ideally slightly raised above the surrounding area, which is well drained and not prone to flooding. Low locations must be avoided. If it is difficult to find a level area then the least undulating or sloping area should be selected, and the site should be oriented along contour lines, in order to minimise the amount of levelling and filling in to be done.
It is then important to determine the characteristics of the soil: its load-bearing capacity, resistance to compaction, and drainage characteristics. Never build on black cotton soils, because these are weak and do not have sufficient soil-bearing capacity even for small warehouses. The warehouse and the approaches to it will need to be protected from running water by an effective drainage system, and the site should be able to accommodate such a system.
