Hanson offers concrete solution for new DEFRA guidelines

New DEFRA guidelines dictate that by 1st January 2012 farmers must provide at least six months’ storage capacity for poultry manures and pig slurry, and at least five months for slurry from other types of livestock. 

Concrete solutions
Hanson’s farm range of ready mix concretes can help achieve these guidelines.  The farm range of concrete has been specially designed for farms and farm buildings from livestock flooring and crop storage to waste containment and slurry tanks.

Farm range concrete

Farmtank - ideal for liquid retaining structures including organic manure storage. It provides an impermeable surface that prevents contamination from leakage. 

Farmpave - for use on external paved areas where regular loading or scraping operations can cause excessive wear.

Farmfloor - perfect for all types of livestock units including milking parlours, cubicles, sleep/feed and passage areas.
 
Farmstore - helps ensure the value of harvested crops is not lost due to poor storage and is suitable for both ventilated and non-ventilated floor systems.

All our farm range concrete products are easy to place and compact, highly durable, crack resistant and hygienic.  They comply with relevant agricultural standards and when laid correctly are highly resistant to abrasion, erosion and chemical attack.
