Arrangement in cement godown

Stack the cement bags close to each other to reduce circulation of air.
The height of stack should not be more than 10 bags to prevent the possibility of lumping
under pressure.
The width of the stack should not be more than four bags length or 3 meters.
In stacks more than 8 bags high, the cement bags should be arranged alternately length-wise
and cross-wise, so as to tie the stacks together and minimize the danger of toppling over.
Stack the cement bags in such a manner so as to facilitate their removal and use in the order
in which they are received.
Put label showing date of receipt of cement on each stack of cement bags to know the age of
cement.
When it is required to store cement for a long period of time or during the monsoon;
completely enclose the stack by a water proofing membrane such as polyethylene.
Different types of cement must be stacked and stored separately.
