Rio Storto Farm: Pavishield for a New Livestock Shed

Padova, 2021 - freshly poured floors and partition walls consolidated and protected in one step

When the Rio Storto agricultural business extended its livestock building near Padova in 2021, the contractor faced a familiar problem: new concrete floors and dividing walls that would be washed down daily, scraped by machinery and attacked by animal waste from day one.

Rather than waiting for the concrete to cure and then sealing it, the newly poured surfaces were treated immediately with Evercrete Pavishield. The treatment does three jobs at once: it acts as a curing agent, holding moisture in the fresh concrete; it consolidates the surface layer; and it leaves a permanent, dust-free, wear-resistant finish.

Project facts

  • Location: Padova, Italy (2021)
  • Ecobeton solution: Evercrete Pavishield applied as a consolidating, anti-wear and curing treatment on floors and partition walls

What this means for UK projects

Agricultural and equestrian buildings in the UK put concrete through the same punishment - wash-downs, scraping and ammonia attack. Treating the slab while it is fresh is the cheapest protection it will ever get. See Evercrete Pavishield.
