Eureka Hog Farms – Hog Barn

Project Details

The massive Eureka Hog Barn operation required over 37,000 square feet of space, with walls and floors designed to be easy to clean and resistant to mold and rust. The project had to be completed by 2002, and although the original timeline was six months. The owners wanted a solution that would be ready even sooner but still maintained all their needs.  With durable construction and easier maintenance for their facility.

Tilt-up construction provided the perfect solution. Tilt Wall Ontario first poured the barn’s concrete slab and used it as a base to cast both the interior and exterior walls. The exterior walls were constructed with concrete and insulation to ensure durability, while the interior walls were left uninsulated to maintain the hogs’ comfort.

By carrying out much of the work onsite, the project timeline was reduced from six months to just three months. This approach not only delivered the project ahead of schedule but also provided Eureka Hog Farms with a strong, durable structure that met and exceeded Ontario’s agricultural health and safety regulations. The result was a highly functional, low-maintenance facility tailored to the specific needs of the operation. This ultimately ensured long-term efficiency, performance, and durability for the farm.
