#### Product Used: Swamp Grid®, Titan Earth Grid®

## Challenge

A customer in the agriculture industry contacted Titan seeking a solution to reinforce a base pad that would support four new 10,000-bushel storage silos, also known as hopper bins, used to store livestock feed and grain seed.

## Titan Solution

![image (1)-1](https://casestudies.titanenviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%20(1)-1.png?width=320&height=387&name=image%20(1)-1.png)These silos can weigh anywhere from 500,000 to 600,000 pounds when full and must sit on a well-reinforced base to be stable and prevent sinking into the soil. The conventional solution for this is concrete pile reinforcement, which would have cost $80,000. Our team collaborated with the client to design a higher performing and more economical multi-layer geosynthetic base reinforcement solution using Swamp Grid® geogrid composite, type 33 gravel, followed by a layer of geotextile and Titan Earth Grid® geogrid, topped with another layer of type 33 gravel.

> [Swamp Grid®](https://titanenviro.com/products/soil-reinforcement-stabilization/swamp-grid/?hsLang=en) is an advanced composite geogrid product consisting of our Titan Earth Grid® heat-bonded to a long-fiber PET nonwoven geotextile.

## Achievement

The reinforced base was constructed using 8481 square feet (788 m²) of Swamp Grid® 30 and 6361 square feet (591 m²) of Titan Earth Grid® 24. This solution reduced the amount of aggregate needed and saved the customer a total of $55,000 on their project.
