Agricon recently completed an additional house on a complex in Michigan. The building is divided175,000 square feet in extent and is divided longitudinally in two separate compartments and has two levels allowing for four flocks. The planning for the units was based on integrating equipment, ventilation, and structure. Side walls without exposed beams and a smooth drop- ceiling facilitate decontamination and enhance ventilation efficiency. The all-steel building was selected to provide resistance to fire and to expedite speed of erection.
The houses are equipped with a Big Dutchman aviary system with modifications as requested by the client. PMSI controls were installed with Munters fans and accessories.
All Agricon buildings are delivered to site pre-welded, pre-drilled, and ready for assembly. Agricon supplied PU panels to speed erection and to provide optimal insulation.
