This dairy farm steel structure<\/strong> project is one of the largest VIKKINS has delivered: housing for 12,000 dairy cattle<\/strong> across multiple long-span barns in Northern China. The brief was a building problem \u2014 wide column-free spans for animals and machinery, an envelope that holds up through harsh continental winters, and a massive footprint erected fast on a remote site. VIKKINS delivered it all turnkey, from engineered steel frame to finished, ventilated envelope. Here is how it came together \u2014 and what it tells you about building large, cold-climate livestock facilities anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

The challenge: a building problem, not just a husbandry one<\/h2>\n

A dairy operation at this scale puts unusual demands on a building, and each one shapes the steel structure around it:<\/p>\n
