Croom Concrete have recently completed the project of supplying precast storage tanks to a Limerick Building Company for use in a new stable complex for a leading Limerick stud.

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.

You have only really have one chance to examine an underground slurry tank – while it’s being built and before it has gone into use.

In this article from the Farmers Journal, Paul Mooney discusses the process involved in installing a large underground slurry tank in Co Limerick.

The tank was built by Croom Concrete and we also supplied the cattle slats and passage slabs.
