Steel, when designed in an optimal manner, serves to create high-strength, lightweight structural systems. This bin with its high material loading can be economically designed using normal structural steel. Special steel liners (400 brinell) can easily be fitted and replaced through wall of the bin and chutes. Steel provides flexibility in multiple categories, including literal flexibility (elasticity/plasticity), complex geometry (curves, multi-planar arrangements, connection methods - welding/bolting etc., and the ability to create an almost infinite set of geometries using a relatively small set of standard elements/sizes). This structure shows almost all of the benefits of steel (strength-to-weight ratio, flexibility, accommodation of many possible coating systems and ultimately, the ability to suit a complex set of design, manufacturing, construction and layout requirements). A layout of this complexity would not otherwise be possible, were it not for this material. Finally, while this structure is not designed for aesthetic purposes in the traditional, non-technical sense of the word, to those individuals who understand what this structure represents, its function and the effort required to produce it, it is beautiful in a way that the average person would easily overlook.
