Bollant Farms was running a dairy operation with over 1,300 dairy cows when they contacted Outland Design in order to propose an expansion to their facilities. Having recently changed their animal bedding to sand, the primary redevelopment of the site would be to redevelop the primary waste storage facility on site to a concrete-soil composite lined basin as well as to add a new feed storage area.

Heiman Holsteins reached out to Outland Design (a division of Ruekert & Mielke, Inc.) to help with multiple site expansion for their dairy farm, including: A freestall barn expansion, a new holding area with a dedicated precast auger waste reception channel and 9'X9'X10' precast waste reception tank, a new rotary milking parlor and office building with a dedicated 8'X8'X10' precast waste reception tank, and new waste transfer piping from the proposed holding area and parlor to the existing waste storage facilities.

The Heartland Cooperative proposed a site expansion to their existing facilities to allow for on-site employee parking and improved delivery vehicle access. With the current site located within an area of low elevation and within close proximity to wetlands, a creative design approach had to be taken to properly manage the post-construction stormwater that would be generated from the proposed design.

The Winch Dairy farm was looking to expand their dairy operations by developing open green space within their existing farmlands. Outland Design (A Division of Ruekert & Mielke, Inc.) performed a site analysis with the owner to review site conditions for the selected area. Existing site topography was surveyed to ensure that the proposed barn area was at the highest grade allowable on site.
