Posts holes are built into the precast mould. This means that fence posts can all be a precise height and are not required to be ‘left long’ like a in-situ build and cut to height later. This saves a lot of time and expense later in the project.   http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900d33e4b06d46e63a7ce1/53900edfe4b03adbe1eabefc/1431410099938/_DSC7533.JPG Dairy Industry - Feed Lane Coves Bacteria is the biggest problem in feed lanes. Built in coving means less feed wastage and cleaner feed lanes. The lack of build up of uneaten feed means feed lanes are much less likely to harbour bacteria and erosive chemicals. The hardness of our precast feed lane concrete makes them resistance to chemicals and faster to clean. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900d33e4b06d46e63a7ce1/53902e44e4b07ccd65b430bf/1431410099917/_DSC7546.JPG Dairy Industry - Sleeping Beds Our precast sleeping beds provide two distinct advantages over pouring concrete in-situ. 1 With precast, there is no need to ‘build up’ with earthworks, meaning builders can build on a flat site throughout the project. This eases construction and makes the entire site accessible with machinery such as scissor lifts throughout the project. 2 Our precast sleeping beds are designed to provide a service duct between the back-to-back beds, which can be used for services such as stock water and power (and anything else in the future), and is much more efficient than underground or overhead services. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900d33e4b06d46e63a7ce1/53900e7fe4b00e487bcabea0/1431410101371/_DSC7530.JPG Dairy Industry - Dairy Yards Hard, ultra reinforced concrete yards are more resistant to cracking and corrosive elements and are easier to clean and maintain over their lifetime.

They are easier to clean and more resistant to corrosive elements. The sweeping bends of different radiuses with coving allows for a better-designed yard that takes less time to wash down, drains better, and uses less water and sumps. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900d33e4b06d46e63a7ce1/53ceed80e4b07e0a5235bedb/1407275199551/image0033.jpg Dairy Industry - STOCK CONTAINMENT BRIDGES Future proof your diary stock bridges with our propriety precast concrete containment bridges. Our bridges are cheaper, faster to install, and come with built in precast nibs, which ensure any effluent is contained from running into waterways. While containment stock bridges are not a legal requirement currently, it is almost a certainty that they will be in the future, so why not future proof your investment now? Our stock containment bridges are made of reinforced concrete beams and a hardened concrete decks, and are made to any length requirement up to 10 meters. You can also specify your own engineering requirements to certify up to a farm ute light vehicle specification. Decks are made to the same standard as our dairy walkways.   http://www.iconprecast.co.nz/applications1 daily 0.75 2015-12-07 http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/537be86be4b01c27d80de203/566609271c121021dd58b785/1431410101790/Salmon+Factory+-+Lg+Email+Size+002+-+5794.jpg Food Processing - Mt.

It certainly is a cost saver and time saver in the construction period, and overcomes the inherent weaknesses in the traditional systems,” Julian Roy, Special Projects Manager for Bondor NZ Ltd says. http://www.iconprecast.co.nz/feed-storage-and-retro-fitting daily 0.75 2014-06-10 http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900f41e4b0ada422dd3bd9/539656f4e4b028c25b53302d/1402361122108/bunker+wall+-+white.jpg Feed Storage and Retro Fitting - Designed and Manufactured for Purpose Manufacturing for purpose off site and transporting is much more efficient.

In some circumstances it is impractical to retro-fit in any other way. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900f41e4b0ada422dd3bd9/53916d40e4b0d76dc3d15bfd/1402361588140/_DSC7420.jpg Feed Storage and Retro Fitting - Time Efficient The use of ICON Precast allowed us to retro-fit the interior of a 10,000 square metre warehouse for feed storage in two weeks compared to the two months it would take to retro-fit in-situ. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5376d517e4b060b2a3d3cb70/53900f41e4b0ada422dd3bd9/53916ddae4b0b156e79a023a/1402361122108/bunker+wall+-+white.jpg Feed Storage and Retro Fitting - Designed and Manufactured for Purpose Manufacturing for purpose off site and transporting is much more efficient.
