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.

Croom provided a complete solution to the problem of waste water storage at the Charleville premises of Kerry Co-op, one of Ireland’s leading international agribusinesses.

The design, manufacture, and installation of the 8,000 gallon tank were all undertaken by Croom, drawing on the company’s many years of experience in the construction of precast concrete storage tanks.

This article, taken from the Farmers Journal outlines the design and installation process used by Croom Concrete for a slurry storage tank for John Hanrahan in Granagh.

Last week I met up with Joe Costello of Croom Concrete and we went to see some sheds that he had been involved with at time of construction. The Limerick firm began making slats some 30 years ago and gradually widened its range of precast products to include beams, passage slabs, wall blocks, culverts, etc.

This article from the Farmers Journal features some of the basic issues to consider when building a concrete storage tank.

This is the time of year when farmers start enquiring about slatted concrete tanks, with the idea of having tank, slats and roof in place by next winter. Slatted concrete tanks are a complex piece of construction.
