Built for the land
it sits on.
Arable land on the Lancashire plain earns its yield the hard way — heavy mossland clay that compacts under a laden trailer and won’t forgive a season of poor drainage. We work the ground itself before we touch a single building.
✦Subsoiling & compaction relief for arable rotations
✦Field drainage schemes for mossland & heavy clay
✦Grain store & machinery store footings and slabs
✦Access & hardstanding for combines and grain trailers
✦Below-slab drainage & service ducting for stores
That starts with subsoiling and drainage sized to genuinely arable rotations — not a generic field scheme, but one that accounts for compaction from combines and grain trailers at harvest, and the specific way mossland clay behaves wet versus dry.
When it’s time to build, we prepare grain store and machinery store bases to the tolerance the erector needs, with drainage designed in below the slab rather than chased in afterwards — so the store is ready for harvest, not still settling when the first load arrives.
Assess the ground
Understand soil type, compaction and rotation before any design starts.
Improve & build
Subsoiling and drainage first, then footings and slabs sized to load.
Ready for harvest
Hand over in time for the season it’s built for, not the one after.
