Algeria is strewn with the remains of multiple industries, but the significance of this industrial heritage, especially that belonging to the time of French colonisation, is under-appreciated, and the structures have no legal protection. This article examines this problem, taking the square grain silos of Setif as a case study. Historical and techno-architectural approaches are used to develop an understanding of both the historical context and the colonial agrarian strategy that led to the creation of these Algerian docks and grain silos. The architectural features and construction of the Hennebique reinforced-concrete structures and the grain-handling procedures are described. The article seeks to unveil the important historical, architectural and utilitarian values that justify the protection of these heritage features, as a first step towards their preservation and management.
