AgroConceptIndustrial, agricultural and livestock buildings

Machinery sheds, grain stores, processing units and livestock buildings — from Kéthely-Sáripuszta to anywhere in Hungary. Here technology leads: span, clear height and material movement decide the structure.

Building types

  • Machinery sheds, service and workshop buildings.
  • Grain stores, dryers, processing and packing units.
  • Cattle housing, milking parlours, calf rearing.
  • Pig housing: farrowing, weaner and finishing units.
  • Manure stores, silos, welfare and ancillary buildings.

Technology leads the design

Design starts from the real equipment list and stock numbers, not from a floor plan. Span, clear height, door sizes, floor loading and chemical resistance all follow. A hall two metres narrower is ten per cent cheaper — but if the machine does not fit, the building is useless.

  • Span and column layout: an intermediate row is often substantially cheaper than a clear span.
  • For livestock: ventilation, manure handling, protective distances and welfare requirements.
  • Fire compartmentation and firefighting water supply, by stored material and size.
  • Rainwater from a large roof, usually to be managed on site.
  • Vehicle movement: paving, turning radii, axle loads.

Grant-funded investment

Many agricultural developments are grant-funded. The design then has to align with the technical content and deadlines of the call, and the budget has to be realistic — which affects the award itself. It is worth talking before the application is submitted.

Appearance

A farm building is large and visible from a distance, and in a protected landscape it is assessed separately. The good news: improving appearance rarely costs much here. Breaking up the mass, the roof pitch, a restrained colour scheme and partial timber cladding cost a fraction of any structural change.

Selected projects

Beef cattle barn, covered feed alleys

Kéthely-Sáripuszta · completed

Retrofitting steel roofs over the feed alleys between existing barns, protecting both the feed and the herd.

The complexThe row of beef cattle barns with the retrofitted feed alley roofs and the feed silos.
Covered feed alleyA roof inserted between the existing barns: both the feed and the animals are protected from the weather.
Yard and feeding areaA trussed steel structure over the feeding area and the yards.

Calf rearing unit with milk kitchen

Kéthely-Sáripuszta · completed

An open-sided, naturally ventilated calf building with a central feed alley and a milk kitchen alongside.

Calf rearing unit from outsideA pitched steel structure, open at the sides for natural ventilation.
Feed alley and pensPens along the central feed alley; the mixer wagon can pass the full length.
Service buildingThe milk kitchen on the axis of the barn, with a feed store above.
InteriorThe open-sided structure with a ridge rooflight: even daylight and draught-free ventilation.

Grain store and silos

Kéthely-Sáripuszta · completed

Reinforced concrete storage bays under a long-span steel roof, with steel silos for dried grain alongside.

Grain storeReinforced concrete retaining bays under a long-span steel roof.
Storage baysThe concrete walls between bays allow different crops to be kept separate.
SilosSteel silos for longer-term storage of dried grain, on a concrete apron.

Machinery shed

Kéthely-Sáripuszta · completed

An open monopitch shed for implements and harvesting machinery.
