Not every storage challenge fits a standard silo or tank. When material characteristics, site constraints, process requirements, or capacity needs fall outside conventional designs, Meridian works with customers to engineer storage solutions built specifically for the application. From concept through commissioning, our team helps transform complex storage requirements into practical, buildable solutions.
With decades of experience across industries ranging from food processing and plastics to mining, chemicals, energy, and construction, Meridian designs storage systems around the material being stored and the process it supports. Custom discharge configurations, specialized hopper designs, unique dimensions, integrated structures, material-specific considerations, and complete site layouts can all be engineered to meet operational requirements. Whether adapting an existing concept or developing a solution from the ground up, Meridian combines engineering expertise, manufacturing capability, and project support to deliver storage systems that fit the application, not the other way around.
Common Applications

The most successful projects begin with an understanding of the material being stored, required capacity, desired discharge rates, receiving and loadout methods, site layout, and long-term operational goals. Early collaboration helps ensure the storage system is designed around the complete process.
Material flow behavior is a critical consideration in storage design. Factors such as hopper geometry, discharge configuration, material density, moisture content, and flow characteristics are evaluated to help ensure reliable storage and discharge performance.
The earlier the better. Engaging Meridian during the planning or design phase allows storage requirements, site considerations, and process needs to be evaluated together, often leading to more effective solutions and fewer project revisions later.
Yes. Projects may include custom hopper geometries, dual-discharge or pants-bottom designs, integrated loadout systems, specialized structures, unique vessel dimensions, and fully engineered storage systems developed around a specific process requirement.
Yes. Meridian regularly collaborates with consulting engineers, EPCs, and project teams throughout the design, specification, and execution phases of a project. Our engineering and manufacturing teams can provide support from concept development through final installation. This collaborative approach is a key part of how Meridian delivers custom-engineered storage solutions.
A custom solution should not create unnecessary complexity. Meridian focuses on developing storage systems that address the unique requirements of the application while remaining practical to operate, maintain, and expand as needs evolve.
Even preliminary information can be valuable. Understanding what material is being stored, how it will be received and discharged, desired capacity, site limitations, and future operational goals helps guide early discussions and allows the project team to explore potential solutions.
