Build Cycle
- Often at the start of builds, sites are often not adequately serviced, making silos difficult, but ready-to-use ideal
- During the major build phase, where appropriate, dry silo mortar can provide an extremely productive site working environment
- At the end of a build, with space often at a premium, again ready-to-use is the ideal alternative
