Case Study: BF01

Location: Hikutaia

Cows: 300 Spring Calving

Brief/Description:

• Existing storage was a blocked off barrier drain which was pumped to a few paddocks via a petrol trash pump.
• Wanted a turnkey solution that ticked all the boxes now and into the future.

Solution:

Given the flat layout of the cowshed, a new line was thrusted into the centre of the yard to gain height. All effluent directed into a manual rainwater diverter before stone trap & 25m3 effluent sump, stone trap cleanings are periodically stored in a sealed tailings bunker.

All effluent transferred to a suitably sized HDPE lined storage pond. Stored effluent then stirred and pumped down the farm when soil conditions suit.
