Rotary milking parlour civils
- Commercial
A rotary parlour is only as reliable as the base it runs on.
We design and build rotary milking parlour civils from the ground up: all concrete works, bespoke adaptations to suit your milking routine, underpasses and drainage. We work with all leading parlour manufacturers.
Key
- Rotary platform (by others), shown dashed
- Reinforced concrete base
- Fixings cast in to suit the manufacturer

Typical section: rotary milking parlours. Indicative, not to scale.
The challenge
A parlour installation runs to a tight window
The manufacturer’s installation team is booked for a date, and the herd still needs milking. The civils have to be complete, accurate and cured before the platform arrives.
We have delivered specialist groundworks across the North West since 2008. We know where these projects go wrong, and we plan for it before work starts.
What we deliver
Rotary milking parlours, done properly
The base
Excavation, circular formwork, reinforcement and the pour, with fixings cast in where the manufacturer specifies.
Bespoke adaptations
Changes to suit the way you milk, built into the concrete rather than added afterwards.
Underpasses and drainage
Underpasses, wash-down and drainage for the parlour and the surrounding yard.

Our process
Site to sign-off
Three steps, whether it is a machine base for a factory or a treatment plant for a farmhouse.
Step 1: Tell us about the project
Call us or send the drawings. If it helps, we will arrange a site visit.
Step 2: A clear price, with the risks identified
We review the ground conditions, access and programme, and raise anything that could add cost later, while it is still inexpensive to resolve.
Step 3: Delivered and signed off
Built to programme by our own team and plant, and handed over with the paperwork that goes with it.
What is at stake
When groundworks goes wrong
- The installation team arriving to a base that is not ready
- A platform that does not sit true on its base
- Wash-down drainage that cannot cope
When it is done right
A base built to the manufacturer’s drawings and ready on the day the installation team arrives.
What affects the price
Every project is priced on its own requirements. These are the factors that make the biggest difference, and we will discuss each one with you before work starts.
- Parlour size and the manufacturer’s base design
- Installation inside an existing building
- Underpasses and bespoke features
- Drainage for the parlour and yard
