The following article highlights the top 5 practices useful in cement storage. These practices would prove useful to manfuacturers and users of cement , and would result in less damages to and fro from the cement storage points. The list of top 5 practices in cement storage is as follows: 1.Water proofing: Water leakages should be sealed and roofs and floorings should be applied with water proof coatings.The most frequent problems arising in cement storage have been in the rainy seasons where the Godowns have not been properly water insulated. The physical condition while storage should be analyzed in-person before storage of cement especially for the rainy seasons. Avoid using new godowns where water leakages through floorings and roofings have not yet been tested. 2.Application of FIFO method for removal:The cement bags stacked first should be removed first . This method ensures that cement bags are kept for minimal time in storage before dispatch. Cement strength has a tendency to deteriorate with increase of storage times in godowns. 3.Strictly use No Hooks: Do not allow hooks to facilitate in storage of cement. Using hooks has been marked as a detrimental practice for handling of bags as it exposes the cement to the open atmosphere which may be damp and misty. Hence to avoid any negative effects of atmosphere to affect the quality of cement, it is best to provide the workers with proper cement handling tools .Also, the use of hooks for cement bag handling tends to
increase the spillage from the cement bags , resulting in cement losses in godown and any further distribution of cement . 4.Raised Platform: Cement storage should be done on the raised platforms from the ground , this practice would enable cement storage to be isolated from the Godown floorings which might be damp and wet. Preferably the raised floorings should be constructed from wooden materials as far as possible. The raised platform ensures that in heavy rains also the water channels from the water discharge systems are safely expelled outside. 5.Keep distance from side walls: One important factor to consider while storage is keeping a safe distance from the side walls , ensuring isolation of cement bags from the leaky and damp walls especially if the walls are exposed to the external atmosphere.
