Dehne Vinnicombe dairy building

Project overview

Our client Dehne was changing the way he currently farmed, expanding his dairy operation which included setting up a freestall barn to hold eight hundred cows and associated infrastructure.

The building itself was designed and drawn by JGM Dairy Design based in Florida USA. This meant we needed to liaise with the client and JGM, to deliver both the bays and frame type for the most economical solution. A ventilation ridge was included in the design to encourage airflow. Improved efficiencies concerning resources and dairy operations were an obvious motivator for the new build along with a significant reduction of feed waste as a result of feeding in the cover.

This is the first dairy barn Dehne has been directly involved in.

Challenges and solutions

Our team investigated post options including both clear span and internal, deciding to opt for clear span design to allow for greater ease for the team installing the feed lane fit out.

For the ventilation ridge design, we took a collaborative approach working alongside JGM Dairy Design.
