Marsh's Silage holding tanks are designed in accordance with BS4994 / BSEN976 and are lined with a special factory-applied liner to protect the GRP of the tank body from the corrosive nature of silage. Silage tanks do not have an outlet so everything which is stored in them needs to be pumped out. There is an option of a high-level alarm, which can be set to warn you that the tank needs emptying. This silage tank has a warranty of 25 years and a design life of 50 years.

Silage tanks are also suitable for storing animal waste. If storing chemical toilet waste or more aggressive waste, the cesspool can be chemically lined (VL liner); please get in touch with us to confirm suitability.

This tank can be installed in granular or concrete backfill, depending upon ground conditions. As dug material or soil is not a suitable backfill material. If the water table (during any part of the year) rises above the proposed base of the tank, it must be installed in concrete. If the ground is not free-draining (eg. clay or similar), the tank must be backfilled with concrete. Failure to select the correct backfill material for the ground conditions will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty.

As ground conditions and water table levels can change over the expected life of the tank, we strongly recommend at TFE that all tanks are concrete backfilled to prevent future issues.
