Precision Pouring And Expert Finishing For a Farmyard in Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire farmyards take a real beating over the course of the year. Between heavy tractors and the British weather, they need a surface that won’t crack under pressure. That’s why Custom Concrete doesn’t just deliver a standard mix – we pour high-strength surfaces that can cope with the heaviest agricultural loads.
The advantage of working with a client for over a decade is that you know their site as well as they do. This Abbotsley farm needed another section of hardstanding in their yard. We showed up, knew exactly what the site demanded, and we got to work.
The Hardstanding Pour at Abbotsley Farm Yard
To handle the daily demands of a working farm, Custom Concrete used a volumetric mixer to guarantee the exact high-strength specification needed for agricultural use. We poured directly onto a prepared sub-base, ensuring every cubic meter was strong enough to take heavy machinery and livestock.
Managing the Pour:
- Sub-Base Prep – We established a solid foundation and laid out formwork in sections to manage expansion and drainage correctly.
- Volumetric Mixing – We adjusted the mix on-site settings to suit the specific ground conditions, ensuring no waste and a perfect pour every time.
- Controlled Delivery – Using the chute for precision, we reached the tight corners of the forms to ensure a dense, uniform pour.
- Durable Finishing – We worked the surface to a level, hard-wearing finish, creating a seamless transition from the existing yard to the new expansion.
Built to Last – High-Impact Results for Abbotsley
This new concrete slab directly increases the farm’s efficiency and its overall property value. By replacing uneven dirt and rubble with a solid, level surface, Custom Concrete has made the yard safer for heavy machinery and much easier to keep clean. It’s a practical, no-nonsense upgrade that will pay for itself over the next decade of use.
Our client was happy with the work and commented that the new section of yard reflected the quality he had come to expect from the team.
