Agriculture Glasgow | Agriculture Contractors

The agricultural industry has specific surfacing requirements, and Roadlay is one few qualified and experienced agricultural contractors in Scotland. We provide durable surfacing services for agricultural environments which can seriously degrade conventional asphalt and concrete. In addition, we are adept at specifying and correctly installing more resilient materials to meet the needs of the hardwearing nature of the farming industry.

Within the agricultural industry, asphalt and concrete is used for a multitude of purposes, including:

Farm road builds, tracks and paths
Farmyards, barn floors, poultry housing and livestock housing
•Animal feed storage areas

Patch repair
Concrete foundations
Silage clamps
All associated ancillary works

Concrete or asphalt?

Asphalt is highly resilient compared to concrete in silage bunker silos and storage areas due to the acidity of the runoff, which can eat into concrete. Unlike concrete, asphalt is not susceptible to frost. Additionally, asphalt is installed over a few days, and set in 24 hours, unlike concrete, where there is up to a 28-day cure time. Asphalt is highly cost-effective in an industry where maximising profit is essential.

However, concrete can be suitable for some areas due to its waterproof and smooth attributes, suited for scraping with shovels and associated heavy farm machinery. In addition, we can provide high-strength concrete installed for maximum resilience. When performing an overlay, we use a specific binding agent and vibrate to release any trapped air to ensure the most durable surface area possible while considering runoff and drainage.

Working with you begins with a no-obligation call to discuss your needs, specific project and individual requirements. We understand your challenges, whether you are a small holding or a large farm. With a wide range of proprietary asphalt and concrete materials available to our local contracting teams, you can rest assured we will have the right solution for your application.

Farmyards

Resisting acidic erosion whilst providing a robust and durable surface for heavy farm machinery.

Silage Clamps

As one of the most aggressive industrial environments, our surfacing solutions will withstand high temperatures and chemical erosion.

Livestock housing

Livestock housing areas require an insulated, impermeable surface to provide a clean and pleasant environment for farm animals that are non-abrasive to animals’ feet and resistant to urine.

Animal Feed Storage Areas

A clean, non-contaminated surface for the storage of bulk animal feed is essential.

Farm Tracks

Providing a smooth, durable, easily maintained surface. With our portfolio of specialist agricultural asphalt products, our asphalt surfacing contracting services understand the needs of a working farm and the farming industry.

Where concrete is preferred for its impermeable and smooth attributes, suited for scraping with shovels and associated heavy farm machinery, Roadlay can provide high strength material, installing for maximum resilience. When performing an overlay, we use a specific binding agent, and vibrate to release any trapped air, ensuring the most durable surface area possible, whist also considering run off and drainage.

The agricultural industry has very specific surfacing requirements due to the impermeable structure that can be essential in this environment.
