Spanwright were recently involved in an impressive cattle shed project. The client had decided upon in innovative and effective method of slurry storage, combining a shallow tank (1 foot in depth) with an intermediary external underground tank before pumping to an above ground slurry store. The cattle shed is 185m in length with 28 pens each side of a central feeding passage where a diet feeder will be used to transport feed to more than 1,000 cattle. The cattle enter their pen directly from a walkway along each length of the building. The cattle shed also features a high ceiling which results in better ventilation and optimum weight gains. Each pen consists of 2 runs of 126 concrete slat units manufactured and supplied by Wright Quarry Products. 12 manhole slats with concrete inserts are located at the bottom, top and mid-point of the slatted shed. Four automated scrapers will push slurry to the end of the house and into a separate and enclosed underground tank before being treated and pumped to an above ground slurry store.
