MAJOR INSTALLATION AT POULTRY FARM

STEVEN Dresser ’ s latest major installation is at a Poultry Farm near York . This is following the erection of two new , state of the art , vast Poultry Sheds 400 x 80 FT and 480 x 96FT . The floors alone each took more than 250 m3 of concrete delivered in 32 wagons , all laid to a
glass finish to aid the regular cleaning process . These two sheds will house 50,000 and 60,000 birds respectively ! The new sheds will complement the existing 30,000 bird units already there , which were also fully fitted out , tested and commissioned by Dresser ’ s 4 years ago .
Installation of electrical systems for this size of shed require a lot of planning before work can be started . Dresser ’ s are experts in the planning and design of large installations for Poultry and Livestock sheds , as well as smaller units .
Installation started in November and will complete
by the deadline 1st March . This is quite an achievement when you consider each building contains 6 Miles of cabling ! Along with automated feeders , drinkers , heating , lighting . Everything is fully timed and regulated to ensure the optimum health , wellbeing and uniform size of the birds . There
is a 250 KVA backup Generator & associated switchgear in-situ – supplied by Yorkshire Generators , backing up the 4x sheds . Full LED lighting is fitted throughout . The power system ’ s running costs are reduced by the solar PV fitted on the site by Dresser ’ s 6 years ago .
