Easier than ripping out existing walls and starting from scratch ? Had 1 fella suggest that and I don't fancy itYes, but it's not the easiest operation, needs to be well shuttered

42footWhat width is the existing tank
I think I done a similar job to your suggesting. I had an open tank 50ft wide and put 2 walls down the middle of it to put slats on top of. Perimeter walls were in very good condition starting though42foot
Yea ill need 2 walls down middle and put in new floor but would be more comfortable strengthening external walls as well. Just don't want ripping out walls if it was possible to shutter to them.I think I done a similar job to your suggesting.

In 05 we dug out a old slurry/dung pit. Fall was from front to back and was 9ft deep at back. Was done under grant. We left the walls in that were there. We had to do the walls in 9ft sections. It was awkward as hell. Dig the section out and try hope as little of the ground didn't fall in. Then pour a foundation and rebar the lot shutter up the section and pour. Was extra concert used but had no other option. Once all the sections were complete we dug it out. It now fall back to front and 10ft deep at lowest point. All the sections were sealed. At the top of the walls we were able to get a worley bolt through Inthe old wall to support the shutter.The tank is 9ft deep so was hoping to pour in to existing floor if possible.

single side shuttering i had collapse one day at 5ft, had it penned, kicker timbers, the works, concrete lifted the shutters 4". in future, i would bolt the shutters to the ground for safetyIt is possible . Tie your steel for floor and walls pour new floor then you’ll have to pour center walls . And then use center walls to brace supports to single side shutter the outer walls . That’s how I believe they would do it . Problem you’ll have is getting someone to do it . Single sided shuttering is not simple and most Agri spec concrete men won’t bother with them . ( too much easier work out there at the minute )

Woukd block wall and plastering work inside existing walls work? Not a grant spec jobIs there any other alternative other than ripping down existing walls?
No hassle. Ya it was a big job. Looking back if I was to do it again I'd have left well enough alone and put up a over ground tank and pumped to it.Thanks, sounds like i have a big job on my hands
Would anyone have a rough idea of price for sliding doors for 20ft wide and approximately 17ft high or the same for a roller door but I'm not a fan of those.
Talking to a lad last week who priced a 17’ x 11’ roller door 2 key fobs €1600
Went with a roller door here on a 20ft opening.I was working off a guide of 100 euro a foot for a roller door to be honest but with 20ft bays, I wouldn't be keen.
Went with a roller door here on a 20ft opening.
Very pleased with it.
It has wind latches and is north facing. It’s also an insulated door so a lot deader and more solid than a regular roller door.
That said, I’m not sure if I’d be too keen to have it facing south or south west in a storm as the stresses imposed would be big.
18 years ago I priced a pair of double sliding doors for the workshop, each door was 16’x16’ so 500sq ft roughly. Got them priced supply and fit for €3k, but I made and hung them myself afterwards for €1k.Would anyone have a rough idea of price for sliding doors for 20ft wide and approximately 17ft high or the same for a roller door but I'm not a fan of those.
Local concrete guy is quoting €110 per m3, he was €80 last May (35N), says its some levy caused the increase, carbon levy maybe?Hearing everywhere about price of steel, concrete going up but would love to know some figures.
Has anyone built/priced a 3/4 bay recently & happy to share a bit of a breakdown?
Is the TAMs grant useless now with the rise in price?
