1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Union Iron Temp-Stor Containment Wall
System.
Temp-Stor temporary grain storage systems are engineered for long life, with
galvanized c-channel construction and support angles fabricated from 7.6 cm x
7.6 cm galvanized angle. They are portable and can be easily moved from one
location to another or reconfigured as individual storage needs change. The
3 m wall panel modules are pre-assembled—the legs just need to be unfolded
and bolted in position. The modular design allows the system to be installed on
slightly uneven surfaces, requiring minimal site preparation.
Before using the Temp-Stor, give this manual to the people who will be
operating and maintaining the equipment. Reading and understanding the
manual will reduce downtime and equipment failure, as well as ensure safe and
efficient operation. A sign-off form is provided on the inside front cover for your
convenience.

ITSM0308-R2 11
3. Assembly
3.1. PLACEMENT
The area of construction should be stripped of all vegetation and proof rolled
with a large vibratory compactor. Compact any fill necessary to bring the
ground surface to grade to a minimum of 98% of the maximum dry density
obtained from the standard Proctor compaction test.
• Crown: A minimum of 1.25 cm per 3 m fall to the outside is recommended to
allow for drainage away from the storage area. The area of compaction
should extend approximately 3 m beyond the end of the base angle.
Note: Information is provided only as a guideline. Consult your soils engineer for
formal site-specific recommendations.
Figure 3.1 Wall Panel Arrangement
Important: The capacity of the Temp-Stor Containment Wall System is based on
containment walls being filled with grain to the top of the upper steel wall panel
using a 23° average angle of repose (the angle at which the surface of a freely
formed pile of grain makes to the horizontal). The actual angle of repose will
vary depending on grain moisture content, foreign material, piling method, and
type of grain. It is the responsibility of the customer to advise Union Iron if
actual conditions will vary from the above design parameters.
Warning: Before continuing, please reread the safety information relevant to this section at
the beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious
injury, death, or property damage.

together as close as possible. See Figure 3.5.
Figure 3.5 Splice Panel
2. Using a large hammer, drive the anchor rods through the 2.54 cm holes in
the lower base angles as shown in Figure 3.6.
Note: The 1.22 m and 1.83 m Temp-Stor Containment Wall Systems require 91.4 cm
anchor rods, while 2.74 m systems require two 1.22 m anchor rods per lower
base angle. See Figure 3.6.
3. Center 45.7 cm wide x 1.2 mm splice panels over joints between
containment wall panels, and attach to wall panels with 1.11 cm x 2.54 cm
large self-drilling, self-tapping screws, 30.5 cm apart (maximum). See
Figure 3.5.
4. Thread the .95 cm cable through the upper holes of the wall support angles
as shown in Figure 3.4. Tension the cable as required using the cable
clamps and turnbuckles. Panels may be removed for filling and emptying
by securely attaching the cable to the wall panels on either side of the
opening, and tensioning as outlined above.

5. When the panels removed are reset, thread a shorter cable through the
upper holes of the wall support angles on these wall panels and attach to
the wall panels on either side of the opening, tensioning as required.
Note: The 2.74 m Temp-Stor Containment Wall Systems require two cables, one at
the top of the wall panels and one at the midpoint of the wall panels. See Figure
3.4.
For removing panels, Tek Screws on splice panel should be installed from
outside for accessibility.
3.4. AERATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Install the aeration piping system as shown in the assembly drawing for your
equipment. Holes for the aeration piping may be cut in the wall panels using
either a torch or a reciprocating saw.
3.5. PORTABLE FILLING PROCEDURE
1. Positioning an auger or belt conveyor on one end of the Temp-Stor
Containment Wall System, begin filling the unit until the grain has reached
the top of the containment walls, forming a pile with an approximate 23º
angle of repose.
2. Continue filling until entire Temp-Stor Containment Wall System is at full
capacity.
