@valtraman does this price include all excavations and backfilling? If so don't think it too far off the mark.

We got a 70ft x 20ft x 8ft with slats on top built for about £28000. We did excavation and backfilling was extra.

Barrett's in Carrickmore.
Steel & labour means I got a contractor in to do the job - done nothing myself.

At those prices you'd be made to not put in a slatted tank!

has anyone done a tank with pre cast panels, they look the cheapest and fastest way to me? and possibly the strongest?
preferably normal ones to L panels
would you need 6" and double stressed? as soil is 90% of force coming inwards and slurry pushing outwards a smaller force, might not even need loading for this as the soil would more than equal this?
have seen concrete H shaped columns to slot panels in if bothered about slurry rusting steel? as panel would want to be on outside of steelwork?

Stupid idea as it would probably leak

I think I have posted these pics before somewhere. The first one is a wall for a silage clamp but the same principle can be used for slurry tanks. I have seen quite a few done with panels and concrete H posts. The second one uses steel H posts with concrete shuttered around the steel after the panels are fitted, so no slurry gets near the post.

No way can be as strong as a poured reinforced wall. I would say more likely to leak in time. Priced both last year and there wasn't an awful lot in it price wise still have to pour floor etc.

I don't think they'll leak that much, the above ground concrete pre cast stores aren't well known for leaking and I don't think it will be any difference? does a slight mucky mark type leak actually matter? perhaps not the proper attitude but be reyt
they reckon that a 4" panel is like a 10" cast wall so I don't know about the strength argument?
