Agricultural use
Prefabricated sheds
Serving agriculture
On the Italian market, Officine Meccaniche Vettorello Luciano & C. are a guarantee of reliability and competence, but our prefabricated sheds for agricultural use are very much in demand even abroad.
In fact, we have put our long professional experience and technical skills in metal prefabricated structures at the service of the new agriculture, building state-of-the-art facilities and redeveloping existing facilities – equipment shelters with attached workshops, storage for dried products in roll bales, feed, etc.
Equipment shelter
Structure with a minimum height of 3.00 m with at least 2 vehicular accesses (if one of the dimensions in plan exceeds 20 m). The interior space is divided into a storage area (specify the equipment), and manoeuvring area.
Workshop
A repair workshop is often attached to the equipment shelter, provided it occupies a maximum of 20% of the total shelter. This must be compartmentalised from the store with REI 30 separations and have independent access.
Round bale store
Prefabricated storage and stocking structures must have a minimum height of 3 m by law (recommended height 4.5 m) with windows on one side only and good ventilation to prevent spontaneous combustion.
Feed mill
Many of the risks associated with these processes can be eliminated or mitigated by the structural characteristics of the premises. The designer must, therefore, collect data to effectively integrate the working spaces with the production facilities.
Sheds for agricultural use
Construction and refurbishment
Designing prefabricated agricultural sheds requires the satisfaction of specific parameters for particular working conditions, and supporting rural development: better working conditions for employees with respect for animal welfare.
Officine Meccaniche Vettorello Luciano & C. have experienced designers and a team of highly qualified technicians to set up small fabrication sites for complex metal structures, providing customers with complete assistance and a product with low maintenance costs. The operations are oriented towards new construction or even the refurbishment of the structure.
In the past, agricultural workers often constructed their own basic structures, on which they often had to intervene to restore roofs which had been subject to deterioration due to wear and tear or severe weather. Their refurbishment is an operation to be entrusted to specialised companies, such as ours.
These operations are particularly risky, due to the dangers inherent in the failure of non-load-bearing structures and falls, for which an adequately trained workforce is required.
In prefabricated buildings, it is necessary to distinguish between maintenance and repair work. Put simply, maintenance consists of programmable works, such as cleaning the spaces, painting or replacing the gutters. Repair, however, includes the replacement of windows and doors, and maintaining the efficiency of the plant installations.
Consult our offices to construct a new shed, or to refurbish an existing one, perhaps by opting for a new layout more in line with modern production demands, or to replace the roof. The consultants of Vettorello & C. are at your disposal for advice and quotes. Contact us.
