Pre-engineered agricultural pigsties

In many countries, it is common for farmers to operate old pigsties, as new ones are expensive to build. PK VESTA offers a solution to the problem - the construction of turnkey pigsties using modern LSTK technology. The construction of such a structure will take no more than 1 month, the construction costs are several times lower than for a capital building.

Breeding pigs is a profitable direction for investment in animal husbandry. The payback period is approximately 2 - 2.5 years. Modern prefabricated technologies allow you to build a building from scratch and start a business in a few weeks. Prefabricated buildings are ideal for the construction of pigsties with conditions that are comfortable for pigs.

Construction of pigsties from sandwich panels

Modern projects of agricultural buildings - safe and reliable buildings from metal profiles.

The basis of the project is a lightweight, but very durable prefabricated frame. For large livestock farms, Rigid Framing is used, and for farming buildings with a pigsty for 30 heads, LSF technology is used.

Enclosing structures are energy-efficient multilayer panels with high thermal and noise insulation characteristics.

Prefabricated steel buildings allow you to reduce financial investments by a third and speed up installation several times. Immediately after the completion of construction and installation work, you can install the necessary equipment.

In terms of its strength characteristics and stability, the building is not inferior to capital buildings, and in terms of environmental safety, resistance to moisture, it even surpasses a capital building.

Features of the construction of turnkey pigsties

The main feature of the building is the exact observance of the requirements for premises for keeping pigs.

1. Stable microclimate with a temperature of 16 - 20 degrees;
2. humidity not exceeding 70%;
3. usable area - at the rate of 3 sq. m per animal. If it is intended to raise piglets, the area per sow must be at least 5 sq.m.;
4. it is necessary to have supply and exhaust ventilation and the absence of drafts.

A compact pigsty made of metal structures includes several sections separated by internal partitions with separate feed storages, an inventory warehouse, a laboratory, a slaughterhouse, a cutting shop with refrigeration equipment.

The degree of mechanization and automation is determined by the number of animals. In large and medium-sized farms, manure removal equipment and mechanized feed supply are mandatory. Between the pens for pigs there should be free space sufficient for the passage of harvesting equipment.

Forced ventilation and high-quality artificial lighting are used.

In regions with an artificial climate, you can do without heating: materials retain heat well and maintain a stable microclimate.

Stages of construction of pigsties and pig farms

1. At the stage of preliminary preparation, a place is chosen and organizational issues are resolved.
2. Next, the foundation is set up. For a winter pigsty, options are selected that take into account: the load from the weight of metal structures and sheathing; depth of soil freezing; groundwater level. An in-depth massive foundation for prefabricated buildings is not required.
3. Turnkey pigsty construction technology differs from traditional methods. First, a prefabricated metal frame made of LMK or LSTK is installed on the foundation, connected by bolted joints. The absence of welding seams eliminates the occurrence of problematic and corrosion-sensitive areas. Metal profiles have an exact geometry, as they are manufactured in the factory: they get to the construction site in a completely finished form.
4. For the roof, it is necessary to install rafters and girders from metal profiles.
5. Then the frame is sheathed with multilayer sandwich panels. Such walls do not need additional finishing. Since the room for farm animals should be dry and warm.
6. For additional thermal insulation, a ceiling slab laid on metal beams is arranged.
7. When arranging the floor, it is necessary to take into account the need to remove manure if the floor covering is made continuous. It is necessary to create a slight slope for the removal of liquid manure. Slotted floor coverings are more commonly used.
8. Windows and doors are positioned to prevent drafts.
9. At the final stage, engineering communications are brought in and internal partitions are installed.

Advantages of prefabricated pigsties

1. Fast-moving buildings for animal husbandry can be installed on a foundation 15 cm thick.
2. For construction work, it is not necessary to involve construction and lifting equipment, which further reduces costs.
3. The building is ready for use immediately after sheathing with sandwich panels. They have a smooth surface that facilitates maintenance and allows for regular disinfection of rooms.
4. The pre-fabricated pigsty is easily repaired, modernized and expanded if it is necessary to expand the livestock.
5. The area is rationally used: the absence of internal columns allows you to use the internal space completely and without loss
6. Resistant to any type of corrosion, quickly erected buildings serve for at least 40 years, but if desired, they can be easily and quickly dismantled, and then transported to a new location and reassembled there.

Calculate the cost of building a pigsty

A preliminary calculation of financial investments can be made without the involvement of specialized specialists. To determine how much it costs to build a pigsty, theWebSteel® service will help: you can get acquainted with it on our website.

With it, you can perform all basic cost calculations online, without even having technical specialized knowledge. You only need to set the basic characteristics, and the system will automatically calculate. Ready-made solutions are visualized, the optimal layout is selected online. The service is free and works 24:7.

PK VESTA performs the construction of livestock complexes on a turnkey basis of any type and complexity. We are a manufacturing plant, we carry out a full range of works, from project development to installation of structures. We build high-quality, reliable, energy-efficient buildings. Buildings made of LSF provide an optimal microclimate for keeping cattle. The panels are easy to care for, do not contribute to the development of fungi, mold, the spread of rodents.
