With a comprehensive range of precast concrete products specifically designed to enhance security and operational efficiency within the agricultural sector, Elite Precast Concrete is ideally placed to address the challenges faced by modern farms, particularly in safeguarding assets, livestock and infrastructure, according to Owen Batham, Sales and Marketing Director for Elite Precast.

These include concrete barriers and security blocks, including their signature Jersey Barriers and Jersey-Liteâ„¢ barriers, which are engineered for quick deployment and high durability. These barriers are ideal for:

  • Security farm perimeters against unauthorised access.
  • Protecting valuable machinery, storage areas and livestock from theft or intrusion.
  • Managing vehicle movements and traffic within farm premises – The interlocking design and high-strength concrete ensure barriers are both secure and easy to reposition as farm layouts and needs change.

Elite interlocking concrete blocks are used to construct storage bays, waste management areas and material bays, says Owen Batham. Both Legato® and Duo™ blocks are hardwearing, fire-resistant and suitable for aggressive environments where heavy machinery is in constant use. Their quick installation and long service life make them practical for rapidly enhancing farm security and organisation.

Precast retaining walls and storage bays not only help with land management and soil erosion prevention but also serve as physical barriers to restrict access to sensitive areas, further improving overall farm security.

Channels, ducts and lids protect underground utility services (such as power cables and water lines) from accidental damage and unauthorised tampering, contributing to both operational safety and security. Removable lids allow for easy maintenance while safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Owen continues with the benefits that precast concrete solutions can offer the Agricultural Sector, including:

Durability and Low Maintenance
All products are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy use and UV exposure, ensuring long-term security with minimal upkeep.

Rapid Deployment
Precast solutions can be installed quickly using standard farm equipment, minimising disruption and allowing for immediate security improvements.

Versatility
Products can be adapted for a variety of uses, from livestock encloses to flood defences, offering flexible solutions for evolving farm security needs.

Cost-Effectiveness
Long-lasting performance and potential eligibility for tax relief under the Annual Investment Allowances (AIAs) make these solutions economically attractive for agricultural businesses.

Owen concludes that Elite Precast Concrete’s tailored solutions provide agricultural businesses with the tools needed to secure their premises, protect assets and ensure the safety of livestock and infrastructure, all while maintaining operational efficiency and compliance with industry standards.
