Lodge Farm Grain Store and Handling Plant
Project background:
In a mission to modernise a large farming estate in Hitchin, we were tasked to design and build a centralised grain store and handling plant with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes, handling speed of 120t/hour and drying speed of 60t/hour. For planning reasons, the barns were built into the landscape involving 20,000m3 of earthmoving and levelling to form the base.
Key Works:
- Earth moving and levelling
- Concrete pour, levelling and polishing
- Attenuation ponds
- Steel framed buildings
- Drainage
- Utilities
