Civils · Anaerobic Digestion · Renewable Infrastructure
Precast for the UK's 720 anaerobic digestion plants.
Precast concrete components for anaerobic-digestion (AD) plants — tank panels, slurry channels, retaining walls and hardstanding. Cast to BS EN 14992 and BS EN 1992-3 in sulphate-resisting C40/50 concrete with a 20-year minimum design life. Specced for the 720+ UK on-farm AD plants. Lead time 4–8 weeks.
Cast next door to the UK's first food-waste biogas plant — Severn Trent's Holsworthy site.
Tank panels, slurry channels, retaining walls and hardstanding bases — supplied to AD operators, EPC contractors and farm-scale builders nationwide. We know the kit because we sit beside one of the biggest AD plants in the country.
38 new on-farm AD builds went live across the UK in 2025 alone. The next decade of renewable-gas infrastructure is being cast right now — concrete is on the critical path.
What we supply
The four families AD operators ask for.
Tank panels
Prestressed precast wall panels for digester tanks and digestate stores. Cast in C40/50 sulphate-resisting (CEM III/A available). Up to 10 m (32ft 10in) unsupported span; manufactured to BS EN 14992.
Slurry & digestate channels
Precast channel sections, slats and covers for digestate handling. Sized to BS EN 12737 with cover loadings to suit yard traffic.
Retaining walls
L-blocks, T-blocks and cantilever retaining walls for feedstock bays, push walls and clamp areas. Surcharge-rated to your engineer's schedule.
Hardstanding bases
Heavy-duty precast hardstanding for separator units, pump skids and CHP enclosures. Levelled to manufacturer template.
From the casting bed, into the digester yard
The kit, in the metal.
Tank panels, channels and retaining units leaving the Chilsworthy yard for AD operators around the country.
The neighbour story
A circular-economy site, by design.
The Chilsworthy yard sits adjacent to the Holsworthy Biogas Plant, owned by Severn Trent Green Power — the FTSE-100 utility's renewable arm. Food-waste digestate one side of the fence, precast concrete the other.
We don't just supply the AD industry. We live next to it. That informs every spec we quote — corrosion exposure, traffic loadings, hatch detailing, deck tolerances.
