How long do concrete sleepers last?

+

At Bourne Industries our concrete sleepers are guaranteed for up to 35 years making them the perfect solution for termite proof retaining walls up to 2m high. They include internal reinforcing so they’re solid, well built, and reliable. Available in a variety of lengths, and finishes, they’re adaptable to almost any project. These retaining walls have the ability to go higher dependeent on engineering design. 

A good quality treated pine sleeper can last up to 15 to 20 years which is not a bad life span, however as soon as you have to replace that wall, then concrete sleepers instantly have become a more cost effective option. Treated pine sleepers can also vary in quality, so some may need to be replaced before others.

What is the benefit of a permanent concrete trough?

+

Did you know that you could limit the possibilities around your farm with the wrong trough and enhance conditions with the right one?

It all hinges on whether you're using permanent troughs or temporary troughs.

Bourne Industries specialise in Concrete Water Troughs and can advice on the best solution for your livestock. 

Concrete troughs are sturdy and heavy enough to prevent animals from accidentally overturning them or tripping over them.
They allow you to have greater freedom around designing them so that they feature more rounded corners and lesser jagged edges. Thats where we come in!
