Services
Concrete Slats
Our concrete slats are engineered with 5000 psi reinforced concrete for maximum durability in swine facilities. Available in multiple sizes including 6-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch top options with customizable lengths up to 12 feet. The pencil-rounded edges and slot configurations provide safe, efficient flooring solutions that resist deterioration from animal waste while maintaining structural integrity for decades.
Slot Locks
Patented Slot Lock system provides secure attachment of penning and equipment to concrete slats. Constructed with heavy hex nuts embedded in 6-6 nylon and stainless steel hardware, these fasteners eliminate protruding bolts and prevent disconnection. The one-inch slot design allows easy top-loading installation without requiring access from below, ensuring permanent, damage-resistant connections in high-traffic areas.
Slat Savers
High-density plastic Slat Savers protect concrete flooring while improving animal safety and facility hygiene. These textured mats prevent feed waste and liquid accumulation through multidirectional cleats that drain directly to waste pits. Designed to fit under feeders, they provide traction for young pigs and prevent hoof injuries while resisting acids and corrosion in demanding agricultural environments.
Ready Mix Concrete
We produce ready mix concrete tailored to specific project requirements across Saunders County and surrounding areas. Our formulation process incorporates decades of research to optimize durability in agricultural applications. The concrete resists chemical breakdown from animal waste while maintaining structural performance for foundations, beams, and specialized construction projects requiring consistent quality and timely delivery.
Precast Beams
Reinforced precast beams provide structural support for agricultural facilities in standard 8x8 and 10x10 dimensions. Available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths, these beams combine high compressive strength with corrosion resistance for long-term performance in swine housing and feeding operations. Engineered to complement our flooring systems for complete facility construction solutions.
