CREATING THE BUNKS
The Slipform construction of concrete Feed Bunks has now been established as providing benefits for the Beef Industry. The Feed bunk is extruded behind a tracked Slipform Machine, accurately guided by String Line, GPS or Total Station Technology for both line and level. Special low slump concrete is used so that the concrete emerges behind the Slipform Machine without any support.
The trough profiles used have been widely accepted as being economical. Alternatively, a profile to your sepcification can be manufactured.
OTHER BENEFITS
OTHER BENEFITS
Another benefit is the installation of posts for the top rail. These are pushed into the wall whilst the concrete is still fresh. This also provides protection for the bottom of the posts which when placed outside the bunk will corrode due to the exposure to cattle urine and other elements. A 3 and 1 meter apron can also be Slipformed. This is the same method used on concrete highways, which is very durable and does not require steel mesh for support.
