3. Foundation Requirements
Foundation Requirements for Top Dry Bins (4.00" Top Dry
Bin Corrugation)
Requirements
The following foundation recommendations are a revision to earlier manuals distributed by the
GSI Group.
NOTE: There are changes in founda tion dimensions from past publications. These dimensions are critical
to the proper installation and function of each foundation.
Selecting the Proper Site
The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The bin can be installed
satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required for the
foundation. The concrete foundation surface must be level. If some fill is required, it should be watered
and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of th e bin. Naturally, the site must allow
convenient access for easy loading and unloading, plus provide additional space for future units. Also
consider the positioning of handling equipment, availability of electricity and the placement of fans, heaters
and gas tanks.
Scribe the Diameter
Having determined the center of the site, drive a small 2 x 4 in the ground to mark the center point of the
foundation. The top of the stake should be the same height as the finished foundation will be. Using one
large spike, nail a straight 2 x 4 (approximately 2' longer than the radius of the bin) to the top of the center
spike. The swiveling 2 x 4 will act as a compass, enabling you to scribe the correct diameter of the
foundation and later locate the anchor and stiffener bolt locations. (NOTE: Making the 2 x 4 2' longer than
the radius allow the 2 x 4 to also be used as a leveling device and for pulling concrete.) (See Figure 3A.)
Figure 3A
PNEG-1510 Top Dry 24', 30' and 36' Manual Batch 9
3. Foundation Requirements
Circular Foundation Form
Footing trench
Carpenter’s level
Figure 3B
Prepare the Foundation
Having scribed the diameter of the foundation, proceed by digging the footing of the foundation. This
consists of a large circular trench dug just inside the foundation line. (Refer to foundation details for
necessary information.) Once the footing has been dug, you are ready to build the forms. It is important
that the form be rigid enough to hold its shape against the poured concrete. Also, the foundation must be
flat. Sloped floors cannot be used in drying bins. A carpenter’s level placed on t op of the 2 x 4 will enable
you to set the top of the forms to match the top of the center stake. Check the form work with a transit to
ensure a uniform elevation for the entire foundation. (See Figure 3B.)
10 PNEG-1510 Top Dry 24', 30' and 36' Manual Batch
3. Foundation Requirements
Octagonal Foundation Form
There are two (2) styles of foundation forms commonly used. The first is the circular form depicted in
Figure 3B on Page 10. The second style can be made of 2" x 8" boards set into a square with corners
blocked off to form an octagon. (See Figure 3C.) This eight (8) sided form will approximate a circle and
can be constructed quite easily.
When the foundation form is completed install reinforcement rods by either welding or wiring in place.
Place 2" of compacted sand on the inside level of the foundation. The sand is then covered with a 4 mil
plastic moisture barrier. 6" x 6" Wire mesh (two (2) mats), covering the entire area of the foundation,
completes the preparation of the bin’s foundation. You are now ready to begin pouring concrete.
NOTE: All concrete is to have a minimum compressive strength of 3000 PSI at 28 days.
Figure 3C
PNEG-1510 Top Dry 24', 30' and 36' Manual Batch 11
3. Foundation Requirements
Inline Centrifugal Fan Pad
Placement of the Fan Pad: GSI Transitions/Fans only.
If a fan is to be installed, refer to Figure 3D to determine the concrete pad size.
1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.
2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.
3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.
4. Pad for heater not required.
IMPORTANT: Fan pad and fan must be leveled an d smooth for proper operation. Vibration problems can
result from improper fan leveling.

3. Foundation Requirements
Duct and Drying Fan Pad Optional
Placement of the Duct Fan Pad: GSI Top Dry Duct System only.
Refer to Figure 3E to determine the duct pad size.
1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.
2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.
3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.

Anchor Bolt Placement
Having poured and leveled the concrete, use the center stake and straight 2" x 4" again to find the bolt
circle radius for the outside hold-down brackets. Select a starting point and stretch a pre-measured chord
along the imaginary circle formed by the bolt circle radius. Take into consideration the placement o f these
bolts so as not to interfere with the positions of bin doors and transitions. (Refer to below Chart for
necessary radius and chord lengths.) Take the time and work carefully since accuracy is important.
Work both directions from first anchor bolt location, this will help eliminate possible error in laying out
anchor bolts. On larger bins sight across starting anchor bolt and center pin and place anchor bolt on
opposite side of anchor bolt radius. From this point you can work both directions from both anchor bolts.
NOTE: Top edge of slab where the bin wall sets must be held to within 1/8" of level.

Sidewall Erection Instructions
Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check that you have the proper gauge steel for the first ring.
The higher gauge numbers denote the thinner materials. (For example, 22 gauge material is thinner than
14 gauge.) In erecting most grain bins the thinnest material usually goes on top, therefore the first sid ewall
ring you assemble will be the top ring of the bin. Check the various gauges of the bin with the color code
chart and begin building accordingly. REMEMBER...... Assemble the top ring first.

Once you have selected the proper gauge material, begin assembling all sidewall sheets in the following
manner: Standing on the inside the bin, place the left panel to the inside with the right panel to the outside.
(See Figure 5A.) Check to see that the sidewall shee t is “Right side up”. Refer to Page 26 for details.

Caulking Detail
NOTE: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Apply rope caulking between the
last vertical row of bolts and edge of outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical seams
on storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be applied.
Using correct size bin bolts throughout, begin assembling sidewall sheets end to end (overlapping the
same way throughout) until the ring is completed. All body sheet bolts are to be installed with the bolt head
and its neoprene washer to the outside and the nut on the inside. Do not tighten bolts until all sheets are
assembled and form a complete ring. Attach lifting brackets to stiffener bolt holes. These straps, coupled
to the jacks will enable you to later elevate the bin. Now, tighten the bolts in sequence, starting from the
center and working to the edge in both directions. This permits the sidewall sheets to draw-up evenly.
Complete 1 ring and stop. You are now ready to assemble the roof. Refer to roof erection manual for
roof assembly instructions located in roof hardware box. (See Figure 5B.)

Lifting Jacks and Brackets
NOTE: The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience. Factors such as
bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all to be considered when deciding
how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every other stiffener. GSI recommends heavy duty
jacks rated at 6000 lbs. or more. (See Figure 5E.)

The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience.
Factors such as bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all
to be considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on
every vertical seam. Be sure to use heavy duty jacks for commercial installation.
Lifting Jack Usage
Give some thought before starting the bin on location of door and other accessories. Proper placement of
lifting jacks in relationship to anchor bolts could make a difference on odd or even ring bins. Walk-through
door is centered between two (2) stiffener anchor bolts. The sidewall shee ts are also staggered 1/2" fr om
end to end.
WARNING
Figure 5F
Lifting brackets should be attached to the stiffeners. Normally you will need to attach to at least four (4)
bolts per stiffener. Anchor all jacks securely with metal stakes and cable. Now raise the bin just high
enough to assemble the next ring. When lifting the bin, crank all jacks at an equal rate. This will prevent
bowing previously assembled rings and make for easier hole alignment. To the inside
the next ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets and select the proper gauge material. Lower the bin on the
foundation after assembling and tightening bolts on the new ring or rings. When installing duct work for
the drying fans be sure to install it as you go up with the bin letting the duct set on the foundation before
the bolts are tightened to assure proper alignment. Now re-bolt the lifting stra ps to the lowest ring in place
thus far. Continue ring additions until you are ready for door installation. You may want to leave sheets
loose to make the attachment of the stiffeners easier.
NOTE: Add inside and outside ladders to bin walls as you continue to raise the bin.

Stiffener Installation and Location
When installing bottom stiffeners, you may find that in some cases the stiffener with base plate attached
will not rest on the foundation (due to unlevel concrete, etc.). Shim plates have been furnished and should
be used to fill opening between base plate and concrete.
IMPORTANT: If shim plates are not used where required, the downward pressure of the stiffeners will not
be transferred directly to the foundation and bin failure could result.

downward travel of the chutes must be limited to prevent damage on new Top Dry bins. This can be done
after the bin is complete and the cable stop bracket and clamp is set to indicate when the dump chutes
are fully closed. Open the chutes until the cable clamp is about 30" above the cable stop bracket. Attach
another cable clamp just below the small outside pulley bracket making sure it is tight. (See Figure 9I.)

Top Dry Access Door Assembly (TD-100996)
1. Assemble the Z-frames (TD-100991 and TD-100992) and then attach the frames (TD-100991 and
TD-100992), to the inside of the access door plate (TD-100990). NOTE: The first set of Z-frames
comes pre-assembled to the access door plate.
2. Now attach the top and bottom rear door catches (TD-101020) to the back of the Z-frames. Referring
to the layout, position the catches with the left hand most hole aligned with the center hole of the
access door plate.
3. Using washers to center the doors over the opening, attach the top access door (TD-100993) and
the inside access door (TD-100994) to the Z-frames. Utilize the lock washers to secure the bolts to
the doors. Do not overly tighten the lock washers. This allows the doors to move freely.
4. Now attach the handles (D02-0045 and D03-0512) to the doors. NOTE: The locking handles
along with the hardware labeled “out”, go to the outside doors. The rear handles have their own
hardware package.
5. With the nut and bolt supplied, attach the appropriate latches to the handles and lock them.
(See Figure 9L.) Adjust front latches (TD-101021) to catch the inside lip of the front Z-frames. Adjust
rear latches (TD-101022) to fit the slot in the top and bottom catches attached to the rear Z-frames.
6. Attach the assembled access door to the access door panel (TD-101025).

1. Remove inner door panels and outer door cover. Apply double row of rope caulk along door flanges,
noting how door and bin sheets lap. The top of the door frame goes to the inside of the sidewall and
the bottom of the door frame goes to the outside of the sidewall sheet. With inner door panels and
outer door cover removed set door frame into opening. Insert a bolt at the four (4) corne rs of door
frame and sidewall, do not tighten until completing Step 2.
2. Re-install inner door panels at original locations. Close latch bars to lock panels in place. Be sure
that panels are fully seated over all bearing pins. Install inner pa nel hinge assemblies per illustration
instructions with hinges. NOTE: Do not distort door frame with use of alignment or drift punches - if
necessary, drill or ream holes to insert bolts in door frame. Now tighten frame bolts starting at center
and working toward top and bottom on each side.
3. Keep inner panels latched and loosen all bearing pin bolts. Re-tighten all bearing pin bolts. This
makes loading on pins uniform for easier operation of panels.
4. If some latch bars are loose or require excessive force to lock, loosen hex socket cap screws and
adjust in or out until latch bars operate smoothly. Check that the panels are fully seated over all
bearing pins.
5. Re-install outer cover. Adjust outer door hinges and latches as required.
6. Assemble door hold back as shown on Page 78. Open door cover until it approaches the bin wall.
Hook retaining bracket over lower latch mount and position the door hold back against bin wall in a
valley. Drill a 3/8" hole through the bin wall and bolt the door hold back to the bin.
