Bentonite Slurry Silos with Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks
In the modern construction industry, deep foundation engineering plays a pivotal role in shaping the skylines of cities and the infrastructure of nations. From towering skyscrapers to expansive bridges and underground metro systems, these massive projects demand reliable engineering techniques to ensure stability and safety.
One of the most critical materials in this process is bentonite slurry—a thixotropic fluid used extensively in diaphragm wall construction, piling, tunneling, and other foundation works. To maintain its properties and ensure uninterrupted construction, bentonite slurry must be stored in specialized containment systems that combine durability, chemical resistance, and operational efficiency.
This is where Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) emerges as a global leader. With more than three decades of experience in storage solutions and as Asia’s most experienced manufacturer of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, Center Enamel provides Bentonite Slurry Silos that meet the highest standards of the construction industry.

What is Bentonite Slurry and Why Proper Storage Matters?
Understanding Bentonite Slurry
Bentonite slurry is a suspension of bentonite clay in water, widely used in civil engineering and foundation works. Its unique properties make it indispensable in:
Diaphragm wall construction – stabilizing trenches during excavation
Piling operations – supporting boreholes and preventing collapse
Tunneling and microtunneling – lubricating and stabilizing ground layers
Cut-off walls and reservoirs – providing impermeable barriers
Importance of Proper Storage
While bentonite slurry is essential, its handling poses challenges:
Sedimentation risks if not stored properly
Chemical reactivity with certain materials
Large storage volume requirements for continuous construction
Environmental safety concerns in case of leakage
Thus, dedicated Bentonite Slurry Silos are crucial. They ensure slurry maintains its rheological properties, remains uncontaminated, and is available in the required volumes during intensive construction projects.
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks: The Ideal Solution for Bentonite Slurry Silos
What is Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology?
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) is a high-performance technology where high-strength steel plates are fused with a glass coating at 850–930°C. The result is a composite material that combines the strength and flexibility of steel with the chemical and corrosion resistance of glass.
Advantages of GFS for Bentonite Slurry Storage
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance – Protects against the chemical aggressiveness of bentonite slurry.
Long Service Life – Tanks last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.
Leak-Proof Structure – Factory-controlled enameling ensures reliable sealing.
Modular Bolted Design – Fast installation, reduced on-site labor, and easy expansion.
Wide Capacity Range – From 50m³ to over 60,000m³, adaptable to all project scales.
Environmentally Friendly – Fully recyclable and manufactured with low carbon processes.
For these reasons, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are globally recognized as the best solution for Bentonite Slurry Silos.
