Concrete slurry stores, pre-cast or in-situ?

[crashbox]

After info in square slurry stores, anyone had one built recently?
Did you go for cast in situ, or pre-cast?
Which companies were best value?
Above ground and pump in, or below ground and push slurry in with scraper?
Approx. 2000m3 so 15m x 40m x 3.3m deep as a starting size.
TIA

Built in situ. Our store is 25 years old now, no discernible difference from day we built it. Would a precast with metal tie rings stand the test?

I don't reckon, steel and slurry not best mates...

How are you going to cover your store to prevent the ammonia Loss.
I know I'm stuck record about covers but I'm waiting for someone to give me a sensible option for anything that isn't a round tower.

Blow straw over to create a crust...?

But we have no idea it will be allowed and I think they've picked up that it will blow to one corner if it was separated slurry

Keep tipping box muck on until the smell stops.

Has anyone had anything to do with these?
Am considering a earth bank lagoon and they seem to tick a few boxes, will probably contact them in the next few weeks for a price and details.

On the above ground stores, I have no idea how I would fill them. Maize heavy diet and sand bedding, in warm weather it is seriously stiff.

That's the most sensible option I've seen so far.

I wonder what the price is though, bet they're not cheap!

I can see it being emptied, it being "beached" on the banking as they say, then the slurry filling back up over it. It being dried to the side and once its covered and some thick stuff has crept over the edge of the cover and crusted . . . .
