6M Gallon Concrete Waste Storage Tank at Ullmann Dairy
Large-Scale Manure Storage Built for Long-Term Dairy Operations in Luxemburg, Wisconsin
Pipping Concrete helped bring a massive agricultural waste storage project to life in the heart of Kewaunee County at Ullmann Dairy in Luxemburg, Wisconsin. With farms covering roughly 80% of Kewaunee County's land and over 100 dairies milking 55,000 cows, the region demands infrastructure built to perform at a serious scale. This round concrete manure storage tank delivers exactly that: the capacity, durability, and year-round reliability Ullmann Dairy needs to manage high volumes of animal waste efficiently and keep their operation running the way Kewaunee County dairy farms have for generations.
With a 312-foot diameter, 12-foot concrete walls, a built-in ramp, and more than 6 million gallons of storage capacity, this project highlights the scale, coordination, and craftsmanship required for modern agricultural concrete infrastructure.
The Challenge: Supporting Manure Management at Scale
For dairy farms, manure storage is more than a place to hold waste. It is a critical part of nutrient management, field timing, environmental protection, and day-to-day farm operations.
At Ullmann Dairy, the project called for a large-capacity storage solution that could support the demands of a working dairy operation in one of Wisconsin's most agriculturally intensive counties. Kewaunee County's combination of heavy dairy density, clay-heavy soils, and proximity to Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee River watershed makes responsible manure management especially important, both for individual farm operations and for the broader health of the region's land and water. For Ullmann Dairy, having the right storage capacity means more flexibility in field application timing, fewer weather-related disruptions, and the ability to manage animal waste in a way that protects the working farmland that Kewaunee County families have cultivated for generations.
The goal was to build a durable concrete waste storage tank that could handle significant volume, support long-term use, and provide the access needed for efficient manure handling.
The Solution: A 312-Foot Round Concrete Waste Storage Tank
Pipping Concrete and the project team constructed a massive round concrete manure storage tank designed for strength, usability, and long-term performance.
The 312-foot-diameter structure includes 12-foot-tall walls and can hold more than 6 million gallons. The round design maximizes storage capacity within the available footprint, while the built-in ramp provides access for equipment for pumping, agitation, and maintenance.
A project of this size takes more than concrete. It requires careful planning, experienced crews, reliable material supply, precise placement, and strong coordination among all partners on site. With engineering support from MSA, concrete supplied by Carew Concrete, and placement support from Potratz Concrete Pumping South and Gordy’s Concrete Pumping, the build brought together a team of specialists focused on agricultural infrastructure.
Built for Strength, Access, and Real Farm Use
At Ullmann Dairy, every detail of this build was designed around practical, long-term farm use. The concrete walls provide long-term durability, while the ramp improves access for the equipment needed to manage the tank over time. Every part of the build reflects the importance of constructing storage that is not only large but usable.
For dairy producers, usability matters. Proper storage creates more flexibility in applying manure to fields, especially when weather or field conditions are not suitable. That can support nutrient management planning and help farms make better use of manure as a resource.
The Result: More Than 6 Million Gallons of Reliable Storage
The completed waste storage tank provides Ullmann Dairy with a high-capacity concrete solution designed for long-term manure management.
With more than 6 million gallons of storage, the farm now has a large-scale structure designed to support nutrient management, operational flexibility, and long-term sustainability. The finished tank also showcases the craftsmanship and coordination that go into agricultural concrete projects of this size.
For Pipping Concrete, this project is another example of what happens when agricultural experience, quality concrete work, and strong project coordination come together.
