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.
