Agriculture
Structural engineering for agricultural buildings: livestock buildings, storage and machinery sheds, silage clamps, slurry tanks and biogas plants.
Barn, store, machinery shed, silo, tank. Robust buildings in aggressive conditions.
What we take on
- Livestock buildings in timber, steel and concrete
- Storage, harvest and machinery sheds
- Silage clamps, flat stores and retaining walls for bulk material
- Slurry tanks and structures for biogas plants
Ammonia and acid
In livestock buildings and digesters the concrete is chemically attacked and steel corrodes quickly. The right exposure class, adequate cover and, where needed, coating or stainless steel decide the service life here. Timber is often the better choice in livestock buildings, provided the structure stays dry.
Tanks and containment
Slurry tanks and silos are water-retaining structures with verification duties for water protection. Crack width control, joints and leak detection belong in the design, and the water-law side is part of the consent process.
Economics
Agricultural clients calculate closely. We design with simple, repeatable construction and say openly where self-build is possible and where it is not.
