SILAGE PITS

Dairy Tech silage pits are designed to an engineer’s specifications and comprise three walls of precast concrete and mesh and a poured floor on Dairy Tech heavy-duty steel mesh.

For larger silage pits the floor is poured first and the walls are “stack poured” into boxing built on site and laid flat. A release agent is sprayed between each of the three wall layers and when set will be craned on to the floor.

FEED PADS

Dairy Tech feed pads are designed and constructed to enable cattle to have efficient access to feed bins as well as fitting in with the requirements of different farm systems.

FERTILISER BINS

Dairy Tech fertiliser bins are designed to engineer’s specifications and as with underpasses have buttressed pre-cast concrete and mesh walls.

They usually have a sliding, colour steel or zincalume curved-truss roof on a nylon roller and channel system that enables the roof cover to be pushed back and forth manually.

The roof cover is pushed or pulled to allow for trucks to unload bulk fertiliser into the bins and for front-end loaders to take out fertiliser.

Larger bins can have a central partition. The roof cover can be pushed completely off the bins and be rolled on to steel stands.

The front of the bins usually has a concrete apron as a work area for heavy vehicles.
