Animal Penning

With fewer people employed in the farming sector, most livestock producers would benefit greatly from a small investment in penning and improved handling facilities. At Algo, we offer practical advice based on our considerable experiance, gained at first hand, in dealing with our own livestock. We manufacture a wide variety of static, portable and mobile systems - all specifically designed to suit individual requirements and budgets.

Another developing area of out business is SEPA regulated slurry storage and silage pit design and construction. Whether updating or expanding your current slurry storage capacity to adhere to current SEPA regulations or, planning and developing newly constructed facilities, Algo deliver tailored solutions to your needs.

We are well versed in all environmental issues and guidelines associated with the storage of waste material and have a growing number of clients in this particular sector. Algo recently designed 2.5 acres of specialised storage and warehousing.

Find out how Algo can help you realise your design, development and construction solutions by contacting us today.
