Lebanon 2020 – 2021

When the explosions in Beirut ignited due to a fertilizervessel carrying too much explosive material, Agriplan has been contacted by the World Bank to review the options how to restore wheat import operations as the entire grain silo was damaged.

We reviewed the different possibilities from erecting a new silo to constructing simple vessel unloading operation some 50 km from Beirut. The different storage technologies were listed from silo storage to flat bulk storage on a concrete platform. Important was quick construction time.
