Why farmcrete®

Farmcrete is the concrete of choice for the agricultural sector, offering the assurance that the product will meet and exceed the tough demands of farming. As with all Holcim UK’s products, it is manufactured under a stringent third-party quality assurance scheme (QSRMC, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 compliance) to ensure consistency and reliability. Holcim's Farmcrete is specifically formulated for resistance to impact and abrasion wear, which is crucial in high-traffic farmyards and livestock housing. Farmcrete can be supplied with high workability upon request to ensure ease of placement across large farm slabs, and it is suitable for use with steel reinforcement.

Applications

  • Livestock Housing: Used for floors and walls in cattle sheds and other animal accommodation.
  • Silage Pits & Grain Stores: Essential for structures that must contain corrosive feed and high volumes of stored material.
  • Farm Yards: Durable paving for heavily trafficked outdoor areas around farm buildings.
  • Retaining Walls: Used for earth retention and feed storage walls on the farm.
