Agricultural structures endure challenging work environments. They must be able to withstand high loads, heavy traffic, and varying weather conditions, and maintain cleanliness to limit the spread of disease. Ready-mix concrete is a durable, environmentally responsible, and easy-to-clean solution for farm structures. It can be used for a wide range of applications by enhancing its inherent strength with admixtures.
Ready-mix concrete offers many advantages for agricultural applications. Concrete structures can be designed to control runoff pollution and prevent erosion, making it an ideal building material for pads used in barns, feedlots, manure pits, poultry housing, and hog and cattle farming. When finished with a smooth, polished service, ready-mix is easy to clean, helping prevent the spread of disease.
Ready-mix is resistant to natural and manmade elements, including livestock damage, rodent infestations, impacts from heavy machinery, and inclement weather. Many building materials emit volatile organic compounds (VOC), which can degrade air quality. Ready-mix concrete emits minimal VOCs, improving the air quality of agricultural structures. Additionally, concrete is one of the most recyclable building materials because it can be repurposed as fill, subbase, and road base materials.
