2. Safety
Proper Storage Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as
sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any
moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the sheets. Separate the
sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored
in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so
that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any tacking and spacing materia ls should not be
corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the
bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of
moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing
moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they
do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer immediately about ways to
minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

3. Safety Decals
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum or internal
pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air”
devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does not
recommend the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result from
any blockage of air passages. Running fans during high humidity/cold weather conditions can
cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.
CAUTION!
Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may
damage roof. Use positive aeration
system. Make sure all roof vents are
open and unobstructed. Start roof
fans when supply fans are started.
Do not operate when conditions exist
that may cause roof vent icing.

Written Instructions for Installation of a VTDL-72-8X9D - VTDL-78-8X9D
Large Vehicle Traffic Door in 72'-78' Diameter, Externally Stiffened Tanks
Prior to door installation, tank should be fully erected and anchored. The VTDL door is to be installed in
the bottom 4 rings of the tank. Adequate provisions should be made for door installation. A list of
necessary tools and equipment is attached. Also some field fabrication and welding will be necessary.
1. The VTDL door is to be installed in the bottom 4 rings of the tank.
2. The door must be placed near an intermediate discharge well such that grain will clear away from
the door panels when tank is emptied.
3. Tank erection will be done as normal until the fifth ring from the bottom is to be installed. The fifth
ring will be installed as normal except that the orientation of the sidewall sheets should match the
sidewall layout shown on Page 17. At door location, install special punched, special length door
sheets at the correct position as shown on Page 17. Use two (2) non-laminated sidewall sheets
(minimum 12 gauge) per ring without caulk to temporarily complete the ring. Use only horizontal
seam bolts to connect the filler sheets to the door sheets. Continue installing the sidewall as normal
except for installing the special door sheets and temporary sheets. These sheets are used as filler
sheets to keep the tank round until fully erected. They will be removed prior to door installation.
Also four (4) sets of stiffeners should be omitted at the door location. (See Page 17.) Stan dard base
stiffener weldments will be used in these locations after doorframe is completely installed. Anchor
tank securely before installing door.
4. When tank is properly anchored, remove filler sheets. Be sure the sidewall is installed as shown
on Page 17.
5. Review Pages 18 and 27 to identify doorframe and outer cover parts.
6. Place threshold weldments (VTDL-0381 and VTDL-0382) in door opening between sidewall sheets.
Install left and right column weldments (VTDL-0375 and VTDL-0380) as shown
column weldments to sidewall sheets with 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts (S-5060) and 3/8" nuts (S-456).

9. Verify that the doorframe is square and all door panel attachment plates are in alignment prior to
installing door panels.
10. Assemble door panels as shown on Page 23. Door panels must be installed in this manner to
maintain proper orientation of hinges. Door hinge plate weldments (VTDL-0391) are to be placed
as shown on Page 23 detail D. Use 3/8" x 1" bin bolts at door panel splices and 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts
at hinge plate weldments. Bolt head with sealing washer should be on the outside for all splice
connections and on the inside for all hinge weldment connections. Follow installation details
on Page 24 for door panel placement. Use 1" x 2-1/2" Grade 8 bolts to attach door panels to the
doorframe. 1" x 3-1/2" Grade 8 bolts will be used at hinge location. Use only enough bolts to hold
panels in place and clamp the panels to the doorframe. Be sure that the panels are closed
completely and all holes are aligned. The door panels will be opened later to allow for field welding
and sealing. Caulk all along door panel splices.
The center column is to be removed when door is opened; do not field weld to
