Manure Storage Design - Whether it is concrete, steel, or plastic-lined, we can design a manure storage and handling system to suit your needs. Every farm is different and often requires unique solutions. Will a gravity-flow system work for you? What are the drawbacks of using a PTO pump to transfer manure? Is a manure digester an option for my farm? We have experience designing systems that work, including: Gravity Manure Gutters, Gravity Flow Systems, Flush Systems, Flume Systems, Sand Settling Lanes, pumped manure transfer.
We also provide inspections and construction management during installation of the manure storage system (as required by law). After construction is complete the system will be certified by a licensed professional engineer. Take a look at our Recent Projects for examples of our work.

Manure Stacking Buildings &
Roofed Heavy Use Areas
For many farms liquid manure is not the answer. In this case, a manure stacking building might be the best solution for you. Our engineer has the skills to design custom structures that fit your needs. Many buildings for beef or dairy combine drive-by-feeding with manure storage in the rear of the building. Use our experience to determine what system will work best. Take a look at our Recent Projects for examples of our work.
Both of these buildings were partially funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

CNMPs - Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans
What is a CNMP and why do you need one? Check out our page devoted to CNMPs to answer these questions. R&R will explain the process and help give you the planning tools needed.
Dairy Expansions
Need more cows? R&R can help get you there. Many expansions require stormwater permitting, erosion and sediment control plans, and additional manure storage and transfer systems. R&R will meet with you to discuss your project and help determine the best path for your expansion.

Veal Barns
R&R has worked directly with over 35 new veal barns with manure storage systems. New veal operations often face specific challenges such as CAO status, permitting, and site constraints. Use our experience to overcome these challenges in the most cost effective manner.

Conservation Projects
Patience and experience helps R&R guide farmers through the maze of conservation programs. R&R has worked extensively with programs such as EQIP, Growing Greener, REAP and others. Many Grant Programs require certification paperwork and additional documentation. These programs can be great but you need an experienced engineer to avoid pitfalls and deal with the details.

Other Services
Construction projects often need Stomwater Plans, Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, Topographic Surveys, and Permitting. We can help you through the process and submit plans to your local agencies.
