Concrete Panels
Why Are Concrete Panels Suitable for Grain Stores?
There are many factors to consider when storing grain, and now with the CE Mark regulations in place, it is more important than ever to make sure you’re choosing the best quality materials for your grain storage.
Prestressed concrete panels have long been hailed as the most efficient way to store grain, but why?
Firstly, they are easy to clean, making them extremely hygienic. They are also quick and easy to install, without any need for foundations, as they are designed to simply slot in between steel support. Not forgetting the all-important durability test; prestressed concrete panels are a cost effective solution for grain storage, as they are guaranteed to last a long time.
The CE Mark regulations mean that as of 1st July 2013, any manufacturers of construction products conform to a European Standard and CE mark their products. From this date, it became mandatory for manufacturers to provide a Declaration of Performance (DoP) for construction products and for those products to carry the CE Mark to demonstrate conformity with the declaration.
Owner of Concrete Panel Systems, Graham Heath said: “We have been manufacturing prestressed concrete panels and concrete blocks for over 6 years. In this time we have become one of the largest producers in the UK, priding ourselves on quality, value and durability of our concrete walling products. As a family run business and farmers by trade, our understanding of what is expected and required from agricultural, equestrian and industrial building is at the heart of our core values.”
