Rase Steels partnered with award-winning Vine House Farm to deliver a modern, efficient grading facility that supports sustainable farming practices. From the outset, both teams shared a clear focus on innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
The project aimed to modernise the existing grading system while making better use of available space. To achieve this, Rase Steels worked closely with the farm owners and operators to design a practical, cost-effective solution tailored to day-to-day operations.
The new facility features a multi-storage bay system capable of handling a wide range of seed types and quantities. Rase Steels designed, fabricated, and installed a bespoke replacement steel structure, while McArthur BDC Grain Drying Experts supplied and integrated a specialist dressing, drying, and handling system. In addition, Welvent Ltd installed an underground conditioning system to support consistent seed quality, and the project included a full electrical fit-out for efficient operation.
To maintain uninterrupted farm operations, Rase Steels carefully phased construction. The team completed groundworks and re-poured concrete footings before erecting the steel structure with precision. Close coordination with specialist subcontractors ensured smooth installation of all systems, followed by final works including sheeting and roller doors.
Overall, this project demonstrates Rase Steels’ commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable agricultural buildings. The completed facility maximises space, streamlines workflow, and provides Vine House Farm with a future-ready grading solution that supports long-term efficiency and environmental goals.
