Silo Sections
Silo Sections
Silo sections are designed for silo ring beams – the transition between the silo wall and discharge hopper. When used for this critical structural element, the inclined surface of the silo tube section follows the hopper angle whereas the other three surfaces remain horizontal or vertical. This allows for easy joining of the silo wall to the hopper plate via the silo tube section.
Apart from being used as a ring beam, silo sections can also be used as an economical alternative for silo support legs. Though designed for silos and bins, silo sections can also be used in various other applications which can exploit its different cross-section.
Typical Uses
- Easy joining of the silo wall to the hopper plate
- An economical alternative for silo support legs
Relevant Standards
- AS/NZS 1163: 2016 – Structural steel hollow sections

How we're making an impact
Circular steel manufacturing
We recycle scrap steel and transform it into new steel products through a continuous circular process. Keeping materials in use reduces waste and supports resource efficiency.
Renewable energy transition
We're increasing the use of renewable electricity across our operations as part of our decarbonisation pathway. This helps reduce emissions associated with steel production.
Lower embodied carbon solutions
Innovations such as SENSE 600® help customers reduce material use while maintaining structural performance. Less steel can mean lower embodied carbon outcomes.
Local manufacturing
Manufacturing steel in Australia strengthens sovereign capability, reduces supply chain complexity and supports local jobs and communities.
1.4M tonnes
of scrap steel recycled annually
77%
fewer greenhouse gas emissions from electric arc furnace steelmaking compared with traditional blast furnace steelmaking*
Helping customers build smarter
Sustainability and productivity don't need to compete. Through higher-strength steel, engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing, we're helping customers reduce material use, improve construction efficiency and lower embodied carbon. It's a practical approach that delivers better outcomes for projects, communities and the built environment.
