Joshua Munson, President, and Michael Blough, Project Engineer, will examine the pros and cons of concrete and steel storage. This session will  review the evolution of bin design and construction, consider the effects of seismic activity and wind on structures, and compare other important factors such as cost, layout and longevity. Munson and Blough are both experienced engineers specializing in grain storage facilities design and structure manufacturing support.
