Agricultural Claim Case Study: Investigating Foundation Failure

A central U.S. policyholder worked with a construction company to expand the equipment at a grain facility. Soon after beginning to fill the 50,000-bushel steel hopper bin, the policyholder noticed the foundation settled and the concrete hopper bin pad cap cracked – halting the hopper bin’s use. The adjuster sought the help of Donan’s forensic engineers to determine the cause of failure that could also impact other concrete foundations.
