Pig farms must be designed and built correctly in order to deliver the maximum performance possible as well as to minimize labor costs, the same way, they must facilitate a good environment for the animal well – being and health. We have to guarantee the essential services availability and accessibility, such as food supply, water, and electric power. The environment must be convenient to build the draining and manure management system, therefore, the distance between the neighbors and other farms does not have to be that much. The site must comply with the local policies, such as conicity and environmental considerations. Expansion possibilities must be also considered.
At Exafan, we offer a “Turnkey Project� final solution where we commit ourselves to conceive, build and operate the farm once finished and after having been conceived, planed and designed in cooperation with all the parties involved. 5
In order to choose the convenient pig facilities, we have to take into account several aspects: required environmental conditions, functionality, investment costs, animal well-being, future expansion possibility and environmental impact. The environmental conditions include temperature, humidity, concentration of noxious gases, air speed, noise, surface and volume available for the animal. The functionality refers to how appropriate the facilities are in order to achieve the maximum efficiency in terms of manpower, especially regarding the following aspects: food supply, elimination of manure, loading, unloading, transfer and surveillance of the animals, environmental control and application of the hygienic – sanitary treatment required.
The concept of animal well-being refers to the following aspects: accommodation and comfort, abundant clean water and balanced feeding, free movement, company by other animals and opportunity to have a normal behavior similar to what it would be in nature. There are multiple pollution sources having an impact on a pig farm, let´s underline the volume of manure, mineral excretion and ammoniac volatilization. Further ahead, we have included a section concerning manure; let´s now talk about the pollution caused by heavy minerals and ammoniac. The ingestion of minerals by the pigs is greater than the animal retention. 7
Design of the facilities for
Sows.
The fundamental assumptions determining the preliminary design of the pig farm (genetics, multiplication, grand – mother sows), are the following factors: - Breeding cycle of the sow and weaning age. - Genetics. - Crossed breeding strategy. Variation is one of the integrating parties of the pig biology. The interval between weaning and mating, the percentage of births and the gestation period varies from an individual to another on the basis of the season too. In contrast, the building dimension is fixed and cannot vary. Therefore, the design is always a compromise that must comply with certain production assumptions; however it can be never exact.
The design of the facilities for pig farming is one of the fundamental pillars if we wish a correct pig farm production performance, the same if we wish to make the species management easier. The design of the facilities will depend on the farm production goal expected. Facilities must be adapted to the requirements of the species to accommodate, by using resistant materials for the construction, hard enough to support the damage pigs may cause and the impact of time and constant disinfections, made of materials available in the region.

Design of the farms for
Weaning
Planning a pig farm for weaning begins with the biologic assumptions required for the breeding cycle that is about to take place in the farm. This means that there are many alternative design systems. On the other hand, the design must be conceived bearing in mind the number of animals within each group and how they are expected to be managed. The dimensions of the farm, or the width of the building specifically, are other factors having an enormous impact on the design of the facilities, likewise, the intake of fodder and exit of animals as well as manure must be considered very carefully.
The post – weaning stage is one of the pig´s most critical periods, regarding the breeders and the people involved in the production process, we all wish the pigs to continue with the adequate growth speed after they have been weaned. “Train wagon” facilities”. They are featured by having a side or central corridor having access to independent rooms; in a way that each of them corresponds to a lot of weaning pigs, with the purpose of working with piglets with similar ages, and therefore, with homogenous lots. Advanced climate control for ventilation as well as heating and cooling.
11
Design of
Fattening pig farms The design process of the facilities during the pig breeding process is a key factor, since these have an enormous impact on the final production cost, that is why, we have to consider what construction elements to bear in mind and which facilities are going to be necessary.
At the time of building a farm, we must bear in mind what conditions better adapt during the production cycle. Good insulated closures and roof allow us keeping the temperature inside the facilities in an efficient way, without any loss of heat in winter and no gain in summer.
The fattening stage is the most significant economic phase having an impact on the pig production profitability.
Fattening pigs, the same as to what happens in other stages, have special minimum ventilation needs that in case we don´t meet them, most probably problems will come up.
Efficiency in this fattening stage depends on several factors. The Improvement of the indicators in the fattening stage is one of the pig breeding companies´ major concerns, as well as the animal efficiency during this period.
It is increasingly usual to find totally automated buildings for fattening pigs with climate controllers managing ventilation, heating and cooling, totally controlling all kinds of environmental gases such as CO2, NH3 etc.

EARTH
MOVING WORKS
At Exafan, we understand the notion of earth moving works as the set of works made on the ground to carry out the works we want. Prior to the beginning of any work, at Exafan, we carry out the overhauling works, preparing the access of the equipment, trucks, ramps, etc. Before beginning with the earthmoving works, we get in charge of the work regarding the ground surface, cleaning bushes, plants, trees, dead leaves, weeds, and trash on the ground, (removing and clearing). When the ground is clean and free of obstacles, let´s overhaul and begin with the earthmoving works.
We are specialized in carrying out geotechnical studies, laboratory analysis and geophysics. Our geotechnical studies are adapted to the CTE requirements, admitted to the Regional Governments, City Councils, Professional Associations, etc. But, we don’t just keep up with the geotechnical studies, but recommend about the ideal foundation to build, counting on a consulting service once the geotechnical study to the customer has been delivered.
Earthmoving: Earthmoving works, whose goals are based on reaching the building starting plan, that is to say, the foundations. When the ground is clean and free of obstacles, let´s overhaul and begin with the earthmoving works. • Deforestation. • Emptying. • Terracing.
21
FOUNDATION SYSTEMS
In the construction of farming buildings, it is essential for the foundation to be correct In terms of the dimension and levels in correlation with the kind of structure we are about to assemble and where we have studied and checked the admissible tension of the ground where we want to settle the building and the concrete supplied is going to be used with a layer of concrete certified by AENOR. The importance given at Exafan to the foundation section, makes us deal with this issue very carefully, by trying to manage the best way possible, we proceed to open the basements and foundation trenches, without a lot of time between the opening of the foundations and the concreting works, taking special care that no water accumulates in the earthmoving works so that they remain clean and refined. -Concrete quality essays are carried out to confirm that the quality standards required are met.
In order to carry out the building foundation works correctly, at Exafan we especially focus on the following aspects: Overhauling of the pillar axis, dimension of the concrete basement, foundation trenches and final levels to be considered for the precast structure to fit in such building foundation.
Features: • For the structure not to touch the ground, we have at least a layer of cleaning concrete available 10 cm thick. • The waiting period and the structure overlap are controlled; they should be also clean and correctly tied. • The covering thickness of the structures should be at least 3 cm thick. • Regarding the concrete works of the remaining concrete basements and trenches up to the final level, we use the concrete required by the Construction Standards as well as features and tensions admissible by the ground where we want to build the farm. • Once the kind of concrete is defined, we control it is supplied from a central unit certified by AENOR and that its commissioning work does not present any type of forging, desiccation or segregation. • During the concrete pouring, it is vibrated for its uniform layout. • In case the temperature, at the time of the concrete works, is below 0º C, or over 40º C, specific additives are added. • In case it is necessary to mold the external parameters of the concrete basements or foundation trenches shaping the building construction, we will make sure the different elements of the scaffolding are correctly watertight and rigid, also that they have not deviated 4 cm regarding the theoretical dimension.
23
SANITATION SYSTEMS AND BURIED FACILITIES
The installation of the sanitation system is based on the sewage evacuation generated through pipes (sanitation equipment, washing rooms, kitchens, irrigation, industrial effluents, etc.) and also storm water (on the roof, rooftop, courtyards, etc.). Unloading is carried out by the gravity towards the general vertical pipes (downspouts), and other smaller ones (waste pipes). When we talk about any kind of construction, we always must consider the materials available such as pillars, columns, roofs, etc. However, we have to go little by little; we also have to think about the internal structures, which are the ones helping to have more resistant constructions. The pipes are the ones in charge of transferring liquids such as water or waste throughout the building, Exafan uses long - resistant and specific materials.
Animal feces fall on the slats in order to make the exit of manure easier through a network of sanitation trenches. Manure is carried through a network of pipes made of PVC with a slope of 1% and through some caskets up to a pond for the manure located outside.
Radiant floor heating
The heating system is considered to be essential in any farm; it plays a fundamental role in reducing the production costs and keeps the animal health. A good design of the facilities and the heating system control is essential to keep the environmental temperature stable and without any variation, in order not to generate stress episodes on the animals and people. Radiant floor system, emitting heat throughout the floor surface of the facilities by keeping a comfortable temperature of the ground concrete, through a net of pipes of hot water. The kind of heat emitted, uniformity of the layout and space use, present many advantages why to install radiant floors.
Advantages
• Thermal uniformity inside the building. • Heat is carried directly towards the animal, by reducing the loss of heat through the roof and by aeration. • Elimination of the internal oxygen consumption. • No combustion gases are generated inside the building. • Adaptation to any kind of power and paving.
On top of it, this kind of system allows some energy savings. 25
COLLECTION OF EXCREMENTS PITS AND MANURE PONDS
Due to the fact that farms generate a lot of waste, we must get in charge of them correctly. The emissions and impact on the ground and the water coming from the internal housing equipment must be zero. To achieve that, we guarantee the construction features and maintenance of the concrete deck as well as of the excrements collection systems. We manage to guarantee their water tightness this way. The wastes generated in the farm, as well as the management measures, are described as follows: Excrements, we will build pits 50 cm high under the internal housing equipment, with the purpose of collecting the excrements. Finally, by means of a net of sanitation networks linking the pits to the collective storing ponds, the manure generated will be carried there. The pond capacity will be three months due to the use of agricultural fertilizer on the manure. Afterwards, by means of a tank, the manure will be distributed to the agricultural lots owned by the farmer.
We carry out ground permeability tests. These tests are required by the Environment in order to determine the permeability of lower layers. The permeability coefficient Ks is determined, which varies according to the type of ground to be more or less argillaceous, that is to say more or less impermeable.
Separation and treatment of the manure: There are multiple pollution sources affecting a pig farm, let´s point out the volume of manure, mineral excretion and ammoniac volatilization. The elimination of manure in intensive pig farms, on top of being a problem that is not really solved, it increases with the pig census growth. The problem is aggravated if we bear in mind many facilities lack of territorial base with agricultural ground supposed to absorb the generation of manure, resulting in increasing environmental pollution
At Exafan, we recommend implementing state - of - the art manure handling and recycling systems such as for example • System to separate the solid and liquid phases of the manure at the bottom of the pit. • Composting generators, including separation, filtering, pressing and scrapping of the manure on sight. • Shakers - removers for the pits.
27
At Exafan, we adapt ourselves to the most convenient structures, according to our customers´requirements and our construction department experience.
Structures are construction elements whose fundamental mission is to support a set of loads, at Exafan; we supply duly calculated structures and comply with the most demanding standards in vigor in each country.
Structures At the time of choosing the kind of structure, we will have to bear in mind: The structure stability dis what guarantees such structure, understood as a solid and rigid set; it complies with the static conditions, when requested by the external actions that can act on it. Resistance is what makes not exceed the admissible tension of the material and no section to get broken. The limited deformation implies a restriction (within certain limits) of the deformation to take place because of the loads affecting the structure. These limits are marked by the use of the structure, constructive reasons and others.
31
PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURES
Reinforced concrete structures have been one of the most widely used construction systems, due to the great advantages offered by this kind of structure. The building structure is the skeleton supporting all the loads. The building structure does not only support its own weight but also other loads and situations altering its initial total load. It will have to support modifications in terms of the distribution of the loads, coverings, even to support the static and dynamic elements derived from climate control components such as for example fans, chimneys, air inlets, etc. Other natural phenomena such as wind, snow, and even seismic movements very usual in other regions of the planet also have an impact on the structure. Structures made of reinforced concrete have been diffused covering almost the entire range of low and medium high buildings thanks to their constructive flexibility and efficiency. It is the most widely used constructive system in the world without a doubt. During the project stage, the most convenient structural diagrams regarding the design geometry and compatible details will be set in order to achieve their long endurance and adaptation to the environment.
ADVANTAGES: • The structure useful life is much longer than other construction systems. • Relatively low maintenance cost. • High resistance to compression. • Resistant to the water effect. • Resistant to fire, if an adequate covering made of steel is provided. • Great malleability in order to shape whatever is necessary thanks to the use of scaffoldings. • It confers a monolithic character to its structures, which enables withstanding side loads against wind and earthquakes more efficiently. • Its great rigidity and mass avoid structure vibration problems.
33

The structure consists of profiles made of steel type IPE. Bolted on sight with galvanized beams type “C”. The protection against the corrosion of columns and beams is made through a deep hot galvanization process; the lintel is protected by means of a grey chlorine-cork layer. The links between the elements are designed to be re-assembled on sight, which enables guaranteeing the correct connection between any non - guaranteed welding action to carry out on sight. All the linking elements (screws, nuts, washers, …) have been calculated according to the DIN standard (German National Normalization Entity), it is a European Standard. The same way, their quality is 8.8 according to the standard UNE EN 7046 - 2:2012. Screws made of steel quality class 8.8, screws made of stainless steel and non - ferrous metal screws. Bearing in mind all these aspects, exclusive for each project, the metal structure is calculated and optimized according to the European standard Eurocode 3. Metal structure projects.

The structure type C consists of cold galvanized profiles type C or Z. 100% of the structure is assembled by means of hot galvanized bolted joints. This structure is outstanding thanks to its galvanized finishing, which adds some special protection face to environmental corrosion, thanks to its lightness and easy transportation in containers, which implies an economic solution for the markets abroad.
The assembly system on sight avoids the fact of having to weld unnecessarily. Assembling the structure is made on sight, by means of a simple system of bolted joints allowing an easy, quick and safe assembly, avoiding any non - controlled welding on sight.
ADVANTAGES: • Hot galvanized covering (since 275 g/m2 a 600 g/m2) • With no limit of snow load. • Light and resistant material. • Adaptable design to the structure according to the ground conditions where we want to install. • Guaranteed delivery deadline. • Costs reduced.
37
Regarding the construction of farming buildings, enclosures, coverings and faรงades, are especially important if we wish to achieve more efficient constructions. Thermal and acoustic insulation systems are precisely applied on these enclosures. At Exafan, we are focused on the efficiency of our farms; therefore, we design specific enclosure systems for each situation. The materials used by Exafan allow achieving a uniform and high quality finishing, making the execution of the works quicker
Part of the farming building success is based on the correct insulation of our building; energy efficiency will trace our business future, that is why Exafan considers the quality of the materials used for the construction to be critical. A good insulated building will more easily allow achieving the parameters required for the recommended comfort, and as a consequence, improve the performance of the climate control equipment in order to achieve such parameters.
Enclosures Facade panels are enclosing systems without a structural function, since these are subject to structural elements, whose function is providing hygienic Insulation, the same for the structural support of the dynamic elements inherent to climate control and supplies, etc. The chances to combine the different kinds of panels allow us designing any kind of project, independently of its complexity, being possible to put it in vertical or horizontal position, according to each work requirements.
41
PRECAST CONCRETE
The concept of precast concrete originates in the engineering field, in the bridge construction technology and is very quickly applied to find a solution for the most complex challenges regarding construction and coverings. It is so that this industrial product begins its unstoppable race until meeting the requirements of modern construction, which requires a combination of versatility, design, quickness and above all, quality and endurance. Standardization is the fundamental feature of precast concrete, but the modulation and repetition of the elements should not add a static feature to the construction system. At Exafan, we work hard to combine all these elements as we understand that this system enables “to architecturize” the spaces.
Briefly, let´s name the advantages that on top of the concrete intrinsic properties, explain why precast concrete has gained an important niche in the construction market and how it positions itself face to other kinds of conventional constructions:
ADVANTAGES: • Flexible design. • Control of costs and deadlines. • Exhaustive control and quality. • Quick execution and assembly. • Endurance. • Resistance to fire. • Acoustic insulation. • Safety on sight • Reduction of the number of tasks. • No debris.

The need to install a heating system is defined by the physiological features of the animal determining its thermal requirements. Heating efficiently is an essential requirement in order to combine it with ventilation so as to absolutely control the climate conditions inside.
The cooling system by means of cooling pads is a very resistant set of evaporative cooling pads 10 or 15 cm thick, made of stainless or galvanized steel, where we may achieve larger cooling surfaces with a good relation between efficiency and investment.
It produces a pulverization curtain obtaining cooling through an evaporation process Evaporative cooling is a simple but yet effective method, where water requires calories to evaporate, so it takes 600 calories from the environment per each gram of water to be incorporated in the air. The environment will be fresher as long as more water evaporates
