DISCLAIMERS
Foundation Design
The foundations for the stiffened bin models are based on 4000 lbs. per sq. ft. (192 kPa) soil bearing capacity. All foundation designs use 3000 lbs. per sq. in. (21 MPa) ultimate compressive strength
(after 28 days) for concrete and 43,5000 lbs. per sq. in. (300 MPa) re-bar. The foundation designs included in this manual are suggestions only, and will vary according to local soil conditions. Meridian will not assume any liability for results arising from their use.
IMPORTANT: Foundation should be uniform and level. Level should not vary by more
than over a span of four feet under the bottom ring angle. Any
variance from level must be shimmed under upright base assembly. If
being utilized to support a full floor aeration system, this levelness
requirement should extend across the complete floor area.
Method of Erection
The recommendations for erecting Meridian Grain Bins should be closely followed to achieve the full strength of the bin and to achieve adequate weather sealing. Warranty is void if the recommendations are not followed including but not limited to:
1. Wall sheets and/or uprights, which are not specified for a given tier, are used.
2. Foundations are found to be inadequate or out-of-level.
3. Anchor bolts (cast-in-place, drill-in, chemical type or other) are found to be inadequate.
4. Off-center loading or unloading is used. This does not apply to the use of approved side unloading
systems.
5. Materials stored are not free-flowing or have a compacted bulk density greater than
55 lbs./ft3 (800 kg/m3)
If using Bin Jacks: Always lift on an upright. Choose a hoist with a suitable capacity for the expected
empty bin deadload. Make sure the rated capacity of the hoist is not exceeded.
Design
These Meridian Grain Bins are designed for:
1. Non-corrosive, free-flowing materials up to 55 lbs./ft3 (880 kg/m3) average compacted bulk density.
2. Maximum horizontal gusted wind speed of 94 mph (151 km/h).
3. Seismic Zone 2a (U.B.C. 1997).
4. 15.0 lbs./ft2 (.72 kPa) roof snow load.
24.0 lbs./ft2 (1.15 kPa) roof snow load when the optional roof stiffening rings are installed.
5. 4000 lbs. (17.8 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 15' - 24' bins.
5000 lbs. (22.2 kN) evenly distributed on peak ring for 27' - 48' bins.
Site and Assembly
Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, Meridian does not take responsibility for any defects or damages to any property, or injury to any persons, arising from or related to any site or assembly considerations, including but not limited to:
Bin location and bin siting; ii

IMPORTANT
DISCLAIMERS
Soil conditions and corresponding foundation requirements (note that the examples provided in
manuals are for specifically stated soil conditions);
Bin assembly (Meridian recommends the use of qualified bin installers; contact Meridian for
information on installers in your area;
Field modifications or equipment additions that affect the bin structure;
Interconnections with neighbouring structures.
Compliance with all applicable safety standards, including but not limited to fall restraint systems
(ladders or other systems). Local safety authorities should be contacted as standards vary
between jurisdictions.
Critical Assembly Requirements
1. Local code and jurisdictional requirements that are applicable to the grain bin installation must
be adhered to.
2. Foundations must be designed for the loads being imparted to them, and for local soil conditions.
Meridian foundations guidelines are for a set of stated conditions and may not be applicable to
local conditions.
3. A foundation must provide uniform and level support to the grain bin structure being supported.
Surface imperfections causing gapping must be remedied. This may involve, but not limited to -
grouting under the bottom ring of a non-stiffened bin, and shimming under the uprights of a
stiffened bin or under the legs of a hopper.
4. If extending an existing bin, ensure that the foundation is adequate for the increased loads
that will be subjected to it.
5. If installing an existing bin on a hopper, ensure that the bin is designed for a hopper application,
and that the foundation is capable of withstanding the substantial point loads that the hopper
legs apply. If uprights are present, ensure that they are supported.
6. Ensure that the proper hardware is utilized for all bolted connections. Refer to the 'Hardware
Where Used Chart' in the Installation Manual. If a shortage occurs do not substitute. Take the
necessary steps to obtain the proper hardware. Ensure nuts are tightened to the required
torque values as provided in the Installation Manual.
7. Refer to the appropriate Installation Manual to ensure a safe, proper structure, in particular
but not exclusively for the wall sheet and upright layouts. Do not deviate from the layouts
provided.
8. Ensure that an integral end-to-end overlap connection exists between mating uprights.
Successive uprights must not overlap.
9. Vertical tolerances between uprights and wall sheets are tight. This can be affected by
jacking techniques, which can allow the tolerance to grow or shrink depending on the
technique used. The gapping between successive uprights must be monitored to ensure
that upright holes align with bin sheet holes.
10. When installing roof stiffening rings, and if it is necessary to shorten the stiffening ring tubes,
shorten them as little as possible. Initially the nuts on the expanders should be centered and
as close together as possible. When tightening, share the amount of take-up between expanders
such that the nuts remain centered, and the amount of engagement between all expanders on
the same ring is equalized. On roofs with multiple stiffening rings, stagger the joints to avoid
having more than one joint on the same roof sheet.
11. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure that the bin is round. The maximum variation
from perfect roundness is 3/4 on the radius (see details in wall sheet and bottom angle section
of the manual). Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt holes (away from bin)
to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.
iii

IMPORTANT
DISCLAIMERS
Grain Bin Use
1. Do not off-center unload a grain bin. It is imperative to unload from the center of the bin first, until
as much grain as possible has been removed, and only then proceed to unload from the next
closest unload gate to the center. Continue utilizing the unload gates in succession from the center
towards the outside. Gate control mechanisms should be clearly marked and interconnected to
prevent an external gate from being opened first.
2. The only exception to center unloading is when a properly designed and installed side draw system
is utilized. However, as bins tend to go out of round when employing side draws, the bin must be
completely emptied before refilling.
3. When unloading a bin with a mobile auger through a properly designed auger chute, the entry end of
the auger should be pushed into the center of the bin before the auger is engaged. Slower rates of
flow are preferable and should not exceed the capacity of an 8 auger.
4. Ensure that the inner door panels of grain bin doors are completely closed and latched before filling
the grain bin.
5. Never enter a loaded grain bin for any reason. Grain can be a killer.
Product Storage
Rust on Galvanized Parts
1. White rust forms when moisture is allowed to collect on galvanized surfaces that have yet to
develop the durable zinc oxide layer. This zinc oxide layer naturally occurs as the surface interacts
with carbon dioxide, and is characterized over time by the dull grey appearance that weathered
galvanized surfaces get.
2. Parts that are not well ventilated or well drained can collect water between surfaces and develop
white rust.
3. White rust is not a structural concern if its development is stopped in the early stages. A light film
or powdery residue can occur after a period of heavy rainfall or a short time of improper storage. If
white rust has started to develop, separate parts and wipe off any moisture. Next, using a clean cloth,
apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or food-grade oil to the entire part.
4. If moisture is left on parts, this white rust can become more aggressive and turn into red rust. Red
rust can cause degradation in the material and become a structural concern. Any parts that have red
rust should be replaced immediately.
Storage Guidelines
1. Keep all bundles dry before assembly of the
bin. Start assembly as soon as possible. Do not
lay bundles on the bare ground, raise all bundles
6 -8 off the ground on wood blocks or timbers.
Store curved wall sheets 'hump-up'. All other
bundles material should be placed so that they are
well sloped to promote good drainage.
iv
3-201-4045-30
IMPORTANT
DISCLAIMERS
2. Roof sheets must be elevated at least 12 at
the small end of the sheets.
3. Temporary storage can be provided by erecting
a simple framework supporting a waterproof tarp
4. All bin boxes, ladder boxes and hardware boxes should be stored inside. These are not
waterproof, and will deteriorate in normal weather conditions, allowing moisture to contact
the parts inside.
If Parts Become Wet
1. If goods become submerged or wet, the
bundles should be opened as soon as possible,
sheets or material separated and dried. Keep
separated until assembly. Brace goods
properly so as to avoid damage or injury from
material falling when in storage.
2. Any boxed goods that become wet should be dried and stored in a new box that is free of
moisture.
3. In addition to wiping down wallsheets, a food-grade oil can also be applied with a clean, lint-
free cloth. This will assist in preventing any further moisture from contacting the galvanizing on
the steel. Due to safety concerns with installation and use, Meridian does not recommend the
use of oil on other parts such as roof sheets and safety ladders.

DISCLAIMERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. In order to maintain your wall sheets in good condition separate sheets and allow air circulation
between them. Store sheets in a dry place. Do not store sheets with sheet ends pointing
upwards.
2. To keep an even pressure on walls, the bin must always be unloaded from the centre.
3. Contact local power officials for minimum power line clearance.
4. See Disclaimers - Design for materials which can be store.
5. Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque setting (see Recommended Bolt Torques table in
Appendix).
6. Do not locate grain bin close to high buildings, which might cause snow to fall onto or build up
on the roof of the grain bin. Consider future expansion and allow space for loading and unloading
of the bin. Your dealer and local government agricultural consultants can help you plan your
storage system for maximum efficiency.
Shortages and Damaged Parts
Report damaged parts or shortages immediately to the delivering carrier, followed by a confirming letter requesting inspection by the carrier, if required. Order any replacement parts immediately to ensure that assembly will not be held up by missing parts. All parts will be charged for and credit will be issued by part at fault - no credit will be issued if freight bill are signed as received in good condition.
Order Optional Equipment
Optional equipment such as unloading augers, aeration equipment, anchor bolts, foundation sealant, external ladders, safety cage and platforms, etc., should all be on site and checked before assembly starts. Plan your installation in advance. For details, see assembly instructions supplied with optional equipment.

ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY
1. CHECK YOUR SHIPMENT
Upon delivery, first check all parts and packages against the packing list. Your new GRAIN BIN is composed of many pieces which are carefully checked at the time of shipment; however, you should check your shipment with the packing slip in order to be sure your system is complete. Also carefully check for parts that might have been damaged in transit. (Do not begin installation with parts missing, for this can only cause trouble.) When you are satisfied that all parts are in good condition, lay the parts out for convenient access, then carefully read and understand this manual before proceeding with erection.
2. SHORTAGE AND DAMAGED
PARTS
Report damaged parts or shortages immediately to the delivery carrier, followed within ten days by a confirmation letter requesting inspection by that carrier, if required. Order necessary parts immediately to ensure that erection will not be held up by missing parts. All parts will be charged for and credit will be issued by the party at fault. No credit will be issued if delivery invoices are signed and received in good condition.
3. SHIPMENT STORAGE
If considerable time is involved between delivery and erection time, INSIDE
STORAGE IS RECOMMENDED.
Improperly stored galvanized steel quickly develops wet storage stains, sometimes called "white rust".
Check for moisture between pieces. If they are wet, open the bundles, seperate pieces and dry off. Never lay steel directly on earth. Raise with blocks or timbers.
4. WARNING
A. ROOF DAMAGE
The manufacturer cannot warrant any roof damages due to excessive vacuum or internal pressure caused by fans or other air moving systems. Adequate roof ventilation and/or air circulation devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems.
Severe roof structural damage can result from any blocking of air passages.
Running fans during certain high humidity
/cold weather conditions can cause freezing over air exhaust or intake ports.
IMPORTANT: The maximum weight to be supported by and/or suspended from the roof is 2,500 lbs (1134kg).
B. BINS WITH STIRRING DEVICES
The effect of stirring devices is not certain.
Sometimes additional loads imposed can cause bin or floor failure. If high-moisture grain is loaded too deep and too fast, any unstiffened bin wall can overload. Observe the following installation and operation procedures if your bin is to be equipped with a stirring device.
1. Read stirring device owner's manual and follow all instructions set forth by the manufacturer.
A1
3-201-4045-10-00
2. Install the switch for your stirring device in the bin near the roof manhole opening so that the unit can be observed while starting.
3. Run the unit one complete revolution after one ring of grain has been put into the bin, to see that the unit is operating correctly.
4. Operate the stirring device continuously while filling and drying to avoid compacted grain around the vertical screws.
5. If it becomes necessary to stop a stirring device with laterally moving screws, attempt to stop it with the vertical screws nearest the center of the bin (away from sidewall). Should the device stop or stall for any reason and remain inoperable for any length of time, the auger carriage should be supported to the grain surface before restarting. The vertical augers should be turned by hand (with a pipe wrench) before power is applied.
6. For best results, fill bin to one-half the final intended depth. Dry this grain to desired moisture percentage and continue filling (use filling rates specified by stirring device manufacturer). Do not overfill bin.
Filling should be stopped at bottom of top ring or 30" (762mm) below the track.
7. The preceeding steps are general instructions which apply to major types of stirring devices. Since there are several different manufacturers, it is important that you read the operator manual thoroughly for specific instructions applicable to your machine.
NOTE: Drying in bins over 5 rings high is not recommended.

BIN ROUNDNESS
It is imperative that the bin be as perfectly round as possible. The use of a string anchored and centered on the concrete foundation to scribe a circle is required (see chart below for calculated radiuses. These Radiuses are
3
4
" smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom, so that the scribed circle can be seen during assembly). A perfectly placed ring of sheets should be
3
4
" on the outside of this line all the way around. This should be the first step in assembling the bin. The maximum amount that the bin can be out of round is 0.75" on the radius, when measured from the center of the bin. in addition the wall sheets must form a smooth circle with no flat or elongated portions. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, Insure again that the bin is round, within tolerence. Locate anchor bolt towards the outside of the anchor bolt holes ( away from the bin) to
Permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.

ROOF ASSEMBLY - SMALL DIAMETER 12'-27'
1. Prior to construction, plan the orientation of the bin, including the location of the Meridian Logo, unloading devices, grain level indicator and ladder location. Each can affect the location of the inspection hatch and the roof ladder location.
2. Bolt the Roof Rim to the sidewall using 3x8" x 3/4" hex bolts and nuts. A continuous strip of caulking must be applied to the roof rim corrugated edge before assembling roof panels.
Only for drying bins is the caulking unneccesary and special open-eave spacers should be used.
3. Temporarily support the roof while starting assembly. Assemble the first four roof panels to the roof rim with 3/8" x 1" hex bolts, nuts and washers. Split the sheets into four quadrants.
4. Once the four roof panels are in place, assemble the roof flange using 3/8" x 1" hex bolts and nuts.Next add panels to each section using the same overlapping pattern each time until all panels are installed, ie. left roof panel is always under the right. Bolt each roof panel together using
3/8" x 1" hex bolts and nuts. Where the eaves meet the roof rim use 3/8" x 3" hex bolts, washers and nuts but do not tighten until the roof is completely assembled. Add plastic inserts at eaves and foam closures around the roof flange before tightening.
5. Ensure you assemble the roof ladder on the first roof panel to the left or right of the manhole cover. When doing so a neoprene washer (not Supplied) must be placed in between the roof stiffeners and the ladder to ensure a proper seal from moisture.
IMPORTANT: BIN JACKS Have bin jacks evenly spaced around the bin. Use one jack per wall
sheet. Each jack should have a capacity 5 times the expected load.

ROOF ASSEMBLY - LARGE DIAMETER 30'-42'
Pre-determine the location of manhole, roof vents along with roof ladder, before beginning roof assembly. Install them as the roof is being assembled.
1. Bolt roof rim to sidewall using 3/4" (19mm) dia. bolts and hex. nuts.
IMPORTANT: A continuous strip of caulking must be applied on roof rim corrugated edge.
2. Before beginning roof sheet assembly, build a center support to hold the roof flange in place at the proper height as shown in Fig. 2, during roof erection. Refer to the table fig 4. for proper roof support height according to different bin diameters.
3. For best results in erecting the roof, first secure the roof flange on center support, then divide roof area in four equal sections and install one roof sheet in each section (shown in Fig. 6) using
1" (25mm) bolts, flat washers, plastic inserts, foam closures and hex nuts to fasten sheets to roof rim; 1" (25mm) bolts are also used for roof flange assembly.
4. Once these four sheets are in place, add sheets to each section, making sure to use the same overlap pattern (shown in Fig. 7), until all sheets are installed. Bolt sheets together with 1" (25mm) bolts.
DO NOT TIGHTEN BOLTS UNTIL ROOF IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED.
NOTE: The roof manhole cover is completely assembled at the factory Fig. 5.
IMPORTANT: BIN JACKS Having jacks evenly spaced around the bin. Use one jack per wall

5. Be sure to install ladder rungs as you assemble the roof sheet placed on left side of manhole (use 1" (25mm) bolts).
NOTE: When assembling such pieces as roof ladder rungs a neoprene washer (not supplied) must be placed between the roof and the piece you are adding. This will insure a more protective seal against moisture.
6. Do not forget to caulk and place sealing foams between the roof flange and the top part of roof sheets. Sealing caps also must be inserted under sheet ribs at roof eave. At this point assembly of the roof is completed. Securely tighten all bolts and make sure roof is completely watertight.
7. ROOF SAFETY RING
To determine the location of the safety ring, start at the peak end of the roof panels and count each hole separately (See Fig. 3). Install the appropriate brackets (fig. 1). When you have completely assembled both rings, but before expanding, tighten all roof bolts and ring brackets. Now, extend expansion bolts around the roof until the ring raises the roof to show a slight crown.

RAISING BIN
IMPORTANT: The number of jacks to be used is best determined by experience. Factors such as bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity and jack design are to be considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack per vertical seam.
Securely fasten jack brackets to sidewall using bin bolts. 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 easier hole alignment. To the inside of the top ring, bolt the next ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets, to select the proper gauge material and to properly apply caulking on seams.
Lower the bin on foundation after assembling and tightening bolts of each new ring. Rebolt jack brackets to the lowest ring, raise bin and continue ring additions until you are ready for door installation.

ASSEMBLY
SIDEWALL STIFFENERS
All 24' (7.31m) and 27' (8.23m) dia. bins, eight rings and taller require stiffeners to strengthen sidewalls. Stiffeners are installed as you raise the bin, on each vertical seam. See diagrams in sidewall assembly (dashed lines represent stiffener location, page A8). Each stiffener covers two rings. Bins with odd number rings have a single stiffener on the top ring. Refer to fig. 12 for stiffener correct placement according to gauge.
When installing bottom stiffeners, in some cases, stiffener anchor plate bases may not rest on the foundation ( due to unlevel concrete etc.). Spacing shims should be used to fill the opening between anchor plate base and concrete.
IMPORTANT: If shims are not used where required, the downward pressure on the stiffeners will not be transferred directly to the foundation and bin failure could result.
On bins with complete floors, a stiffener is installed right in the middle of transition entrance collar. The bottom stiffener must be precisely cut on the field so that the assembly rests on top of entrance collar.
NOTE:
The anchor bolts at the upright locations should be chosen so they can handle the loads imposed on them and that the head, either alone or with large diameter heavy washers, is large enough to sufficiently cover the anchoring slot provided in the base plate. the base plate should not be able to pull up over the nut.
One

FOUNDATIONS
15' - 36' GRAIN BIN FOUNDATION
NOTE: This foundation is unsuitable to bins equipped with aeration system.
IMPORTANT
All foundation specifications shall be interpreted as recommendations only. Because of the many variable conditions in actual installation, the manufacturer assumes no liability for results arising from the use of such recommendations. However these minimum standards must be respected to assure bin warranty applicability.
FOUNDATION SPECIFICATIONS
1. All foundations must be designed on a leveled soil bearing 3,000lb/sq. ft.
(14,646kg/m2). When in
doubt, consult a local civil engineer.
2. All soil or organic material on the site of the foundation must be excavated and replaced by porous
frost-proof material to provide proper draining under foundation and reduce frosting problems
(gravel, sand, ballast, crushed stone). This underlying basis is then compacted and covered with
polyethylene plastic which will act as a moisture barrier.
3. Once the forms have been prepared, begin the placement of reinforcement rods in your foundation
(see foundation drawing details). These reinforcement rods offer their greatest strength when they
have been joined together, either by weld or wire. 6" x 6" (15.24 x 15.24cm) wire mesh, covering
the entire area of the foundation, completes preparation before beginning concrete pouring.
4. Concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000lb/sq. in. (20.7MPa) after 28 days.
5. Foundation surface must be level. Sloped floors cannot be used in drying bins.
6. If, for one reason or another, bin cannot be erected immediately, component parts, especially ring
sheets, should be stored in a dry location. The infiltration of a small film of water between piled ring
sheet can leave a hard to remove whitish stain on the steel; although they do not impair sheets

IMPORTANT
CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPER TORQUE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO ALL
BOLTS AND THAT THE RECOMMENDED ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE HAS BEEN
FOLLOWED.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES FOR BOLTS
Periodically check bolt assembly with an accurate torque wrench to ensure that above torque specifications are maintained. A properly tightened bolt will compress sealing washer noticeably.
For Proper Sealing, do not overtighten wall seam connections. Sealing is not critical on uprght slice connections; these connections should be tightened securely to prevent loosening.
Hold bolt head securely when tightening the nut to prevent damage to the sealing washer.
ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE NUT, NOT THE BOLT
Avoid bin assembly at temperatures below -10 C (14 F) if possible. Erection in low temperatures does not ensure strong, well sealed connections. Do not substitute bolts in place of those supplied by Meridian.
