The project, located near the Santrev-owned and -run farms in Coominya, is a testament to the commitment showed by the company to high quality free range projects.

“From speaking directly to processors and growers across Australia, we know people choose to build with us because we have incomparable experience in building free-range sheds and are growers ourselves,” says Santrev Director and CEO, Luke Trevanion. “We understand their needs.”

Construction Manager Adam Berry is thrilled to wrap up another project and is keen to help more growers with their free range requirements. “Every build is unique and necessitates a different set of plans or approach,” says Adam. “We’re adamant to deliver 100 per cent of what the client needs and look forward to supporting growers with building to higher welfare standards, just as we do our own farms.”

The owner/grower combination is a key part of what makes Santrev uniquely qualified to build free-range.

“It’s important to all our clients that we know and understand their needs, the best way for us to do that is by owning and managing our own farms,” says Santrev director, Richard Sanday.

It is understandable how Santrev has fast become leaders in the free-range shed design arena considering their long track record of innovation, flexibility and involvement in the industry. The knowledge and experience has come hand in hand with the running of Santrev’s 700,000-bird commercial broiler farm and owning the renowned 13 shed breeder farm at Purga. 2014 will also mean big things for both Santrev and the free-range industry with the development of their state of the art facility at Blanchetown ready to start in the new year. The 1,200-hectare, $39-million project is set to be the biggest in the world.

The facility will be at the forefront of world free-range design and technology and will be a flagship model for large-scale projects in the future.

Following their success delivering the Hamley Bridge Inghams farm, the Santrev team are keen to prove themselves with another full turn-key facility.

Santrev Director Luke Trevanion says the company is ready to take on the venture. “Everyone on the Santrev team is eager to start in Blanchetown; the project will be fully Santrev designed so we are keen to get on with it and show once again the quality of a Santrev built poultry shed ,” he said.
