Wooden structures for the construction and reconstruction of agricultural storages

How to accelerate the return on investment in the construction or reconstruction of agricultural storage facilities by 2-3 times

Since vegetables, fruits and cereals are more profitable to sell a few months after harvesting, a simple farmer needs to store them somewhere. However, due to the fact that the payback period for the construction and equipment of warehouses is extremely low – about 10 years, the farmer has to either lose part of the profit by selling the products immediately, or look for a way to build a reliable storage facility inexpensively and quickly. One of the interesting options for rapid construction is a new frame technology for our country.

More about the possibilities of construction based on new technology

Ukrainian company “Pragma”, which has been working with wood for 8 years, offers an interesting solution that allows you to implement a number of tasks:

significantly reduce the construction time – up to several weeks;
to build strong and reliable structures with a service life of at least 50 years
reduce the cost of construction of agricultural storages by 2-3 times;
make a roof with a span of up to 30 m without internal supports;
complete or reconstruct old buildings for storage and save additional money.

The technology is based on wooden structures made of pine beams and connected by metal toothed plates. The invention belongs to the American company Mitek. The company “Pragma” is its certified partner.

Wooden products somewhat resemble metal frame technology, but have advantages over it:

thanks to the wood inside the building does not settle condensate, destructive to the crop;
the optimal microclimate is maintained in the room;
wood is much lighter than metal, during installation it does not require heavy and expensive lifting equipment and welding equipment.

Thanks to the accurate calculation of loads, wooden structures can withstand roofing materials of any type, which are easily laid on the correct surface.

How wooden structures can be used

We offer several options for the construction of agricultural storage facilities:

Sheds for temporary storage and drying of crops. Construction principle: roof based on truss trusses, any roofing material, strong supports (for example iron).
Agricultural storages for grain. They can be constructed using a frame wooden structure. For the bulk method to raise the roof, we offer another option: to build reinforced concrete walls and put wooden frames on top.
Storages for vegetables and fruits. For structures of this type, you can use almost any old building, remove partitions in it and make a new roof without spans.
