Croom Concrete’s pre-cast manholes, manhole rings, reinforced access covers and gully pot risers are growing in popularity in the field of civil engineering, and are proving their worth in safety and reduced labour costs. 

Customers Eurof and David Jones from Llangadog in South Wales recently choose Croom concrete for the supply of precast for there new slurry store. The external measurements of this massive store were 100ft in width by 210ft in length.

Long wet winters had been causing problems for Stephen James, the new Welsh NFU president, at his 500 acre dairy farm in Pembrokeshire.

He needed extra storage capacity in his slurry tank, and was also keen to improve comfort for his herd of 270 cows, knowing that this could lead in turn to better milk yields.

Croom was able to improve both capacity and comfort by designing, manufacturing, and installing an extra-deep tank, and cow cubicles with a specially-adapted surface.

In this article from the Farmers Journal, Paul Mooney speaks to Joe O’Donoghue of Michelstown, who decided to fully contract out the construction of a road underpass on his farm.

When it comes to a farm building project some farmers choose to be involved from start to finish. Others take a different approach and hire a good professional, let them get on with it while they can concentrate on running the farm. Both options have their merits.
