Storage Options
Round Agriculture Storage Tanks
Round tanks are a preferred option for many livestock operations because they improve agitation and reduce buildup.
The circular design allows manure to move more evenly, which makes agitation more consistent and pump-out faster. With no corners for solids to collect, maintenance is more predictable and efficient.
These tanks can be installed above or below ground and scaled to fit your operation. With NRCS pre-approval in most states, they meet high standards for performance and compliance.
Straight Wall Agricultural Storage Tanks
Straight wall tanks are a practical option when space is limited or layouts are tight.
Their vertical design makes it easier to plan around buildings and maximize usable volume. They are often used when farms need precise capacity and a structure that fits within a defined footprint.
Each system is built to match the layout and operational needs of the farm.
Sloped Wall Lagoons
Sloped wall lagoons work well for farms with larger land areas and high-volume storage needs.
They integrate with the natural grade of the land and allow for efficient loading, agitation, and cleanout. These systems are often chosen for their scale and cost efficiency when space allows.
Custom Manure Storage Tanks
Every farm operates differently, and storage systems should reflect that.
Custom designs take into account herd size, site conditions, and long-term plans.
The goal is to create a system that fits into daily operations and continues to work as the farm grows.

Designed for Different Types of Farms
Every livestock operation, large or small, must manage manure safely, efficiently, and in compliance with nutrient management plans. Our engineered tanks and lagoons are built to support a wide range of farm types and agricultural operations.
Dairy Farms
Dairy operations need large-capacity waste storage and durable systems for heavy equipment use. Our storage tanks help farmers handle seasonal hauling restrictions, maintain herd health, and keep nutrient plans on track.
Hog Operations
Swine barns require controlled, efficient storage for liquid and slurry systems. Our concrete waste tanks provide dependable manure management and waste storage tanks to keep barns operating smoothly.
Beef Feedlots
Feedlots can see heavy rainfall runoff and manure accumulation in concentrated areas. Storage structures keep nutrients contained until hauling windows open.
Mixed & Specialty Operations
From small family farms to multi-species operations, custom waste storage solutions help farmers streamline nutrient plans, reduce labor, and prepare for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of storage system is best for my operation?
When it comes to choosing the right agricultural storage structure for your farm, we've got you covered.
Round tanks are known for their superior agitation, cost efficiency, and durability.
Square or rectangular waste tanks offer a larger surface area but can require additional reinforcement, making those upfront build costs a bit more expensive. But if you're limited on space, this might be the option for you.
Sloped wall lagoons are great for farming operations that need large-scale, cost-effective storage for liquid waste. They're best for farms with ample land.
We've designed agricultural storage and waste management structures for farms across the United States. Our experts will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and find the right solution to meet your operational goals
What are the benefits of a round agricultural storage tank from Pipping Concrete?
If you're considering vertical waste storage, our NRCS pre-approved round tank design is the most cost-effective option and offers superior agitation, durability, flexibility, and easy maintenance. We are the original round tank builder and have unmatched experience in constructing round tanks.
Round tanks are known for their superior agitation capabilities, ensuring thorough mixing and minimal buildup of solids. But what many don't realize is that round agricultural storage tanks also offer significant cost savings due to their efficient use of materials and even pressure distribution. That means you'll save on construction costs without compromising durability or performance.
Our round tanks can be installed anywhere-from completely out-of-ground to entirely in-ground. This allows you to maximize available space at your farm or agricultural operation and fit the tank into your operation seamlessly. Plus, our curved ramp design allows easy access without sacrificing the round tank's legendary agitation capabilities.
With more round tanks under our belt than anyone else, Pipping Concrete brings unmatched expertise and experience to every project. When you choose a round tank from us, you're getting a high-quality, cost-effective agricultural waste management solutions backed by years of proven performance.
Is a round agricultural waste tank more, or less expensive than a square or rectangle tank?
While we do our best to keep all our agricultural storage structures affordable, our round tank designs are always less expensive than a square or rectangular waste tank. This is simply because our round tanks have superior structural efficiency compared to square or rectangular- shaped tanks.
The rebar in our walls lock everything together like barrel straps, creating an incredibly strong and efficient design at a lower cost to you.
How do I decide between an above-ground, in-ground, or partially buried system?
The right placement and design of your waste storage tank depends on your available space, site conditions, how much manure will be transformed into the tank, and operational needs. In-ground or partially buried systems can help conserve space. Soil stability, water tables, bed rock, and drainage should also be taken into account.
How big should my manure storage tank or lagoon be?
Sizing depends on a variety of factors, including your herd, manure consistency, wash water, rainfall, nutrient management plan, and hauling windows. We’ll work with you to calculate the exact storage you need, plus room for expansion if that’s in your plans.
Do you help with permitting and regulatory requirements?
Yes. Our agricultural concrete specialists regularly work with NRCS guidelines, state-level regulations, and environmental requirements across the United States. We can coordinate with your engineer and local agencies to ensure our design meets all necessary standards.
Can you build in my state?
Yes, Pipping Concrete builds manure tanks nationwide. From the coldest regions with heavy freeze–thaw cycles to hot, dry climates, our systems are built to handle local conditions. Our crews regularly travel to tackle agricultural waste tank projects.
