The feedback on this is very good; people love them.” Fabish and Jackson also build purpose-built chicken sheds for large-scale international poultry breeder Aviagen. Designed to be low to no maintenance, Fabish & Jackson have built the sheds up to 145 metres in length. They consist of precast wall panels, steel portal frames and timber purlins to allow for a double layer of ceiling insulation, while the walls are also insulated with polystyrene in order for the shed to be able to maintain a specific temperature. “The stock are in the shed for 54 weeks at a time.” Depending on the size, the sheds can take up to eight months to build. Fabish & Jackson’s ability to manufacture its own specialised precast concrete panels is crucial to their construction and eliminates potential exter- nal supply problems. The company also has its own engineering divi- sion which manufactures steel portals. Another valuable and consistent arm of the busi- ness over the past thirty years has been pipeline concrete foundation work, including for Todd Energy’s Kapuni natural gas-condensate field. Fabish & Jackson’s ability to manufacture its own specialised precast concrete panels eliminates potential external supply problems.
