Designed for agricultural use

Farmcrete

Farmcrete concrete mixes are specifically designed for use in the construction of farmyards, roadways, milking parlours, livestock buildings, silage pits and structures for containment of silage effluent and farm run-off fluids. The farm environment places severe demands on concrete due to the aggressive nature of silage effluent, animal waste and heavy machinery traffic. Roadstone’s Farmcrete concrete mixes conform to the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine S.100 Specification.
