The Živino Prom project involves the expansion and further development of the existing poultry farm complex in Štip, designed for the housing and production of laying hens. The Živino Prom project involves the expansion and further development of the existing poultry farm complex in Štip, designed for the housing and production of laying hens.
The existing complex comprises six production halls for laying hens, together with administrative and ancillary facilities. The new development includes the construction of six additional production halls, increasing the farm’s overall production capacity and creating a larger, functionally integrated complex.
The new buildings are organized into two types – Type A and Type B, developed in accordance with the spatial, structural, and technological requirements of modern poultry production.
The expansion is being developed on a construction plot of 43,998.33 m², comprising exclusively the additional area designated for the construction of the new halls and including a total of six new buildings.
Type A comprises three halls measuring approximately 16.20 × 96.10 m, with an area of approximately 1,557 m² per building, providing a total of approximately 4,671 m².
Type B comprises three larger halls measuring approximately 19.20 × 105.20 m, with an area of approximately 2,020 m² per building, providing a total of approximately 6,060 m².
The six new halls provide approximately 10,731 m² of additional production space, fully integrated into the existing complex. The architectural and structural design has been developed with particular emphasis on functionality, efficient organization, and the specific technological requirements of laying-hen production. The elongated geometry of the buildings directly reflects the organization of the production process and the layout of the required technological equipment. At the same time, the arrangement of the new halls enables seamless integration with the existing complex while ensuring efficient circulation and access throughout the farm. The primary load-bearing system of the halls is designed as a precast reinforced-concrete structure, complemented by a secondary steel structure. The foundation system consists of precast reinforced-concrete socket foundations, accommodating reinforced-concrete columns with a cross-section of 50 × 50 cm. The roof-supporting structure consists of precast reinforced-concrete T60 and AT60 primary beams, combined with TP45 and TP60 secondary beams. Following installation, the characteristic connections between the foundation sockets, columns, and load-bearing elements are completed through monolithic connections.
This structural system enables fast and efficient erection, large unobstructed production areas, and a rational structural solution suited to the repetitive nature of the buildings. The combination of the primary reinforced-concrete load-bearing system and secondary steel elements provides an efficient structural solution adapted to the dimensions and functional requirements of the poultry halls. Particular attention has been given to the selection of building-envelope materials due to the specific environmental conditions associated with poultry production.
The roof is clad with 100 mm PIR insulated roof panels, while the façades are formed using vertically installed 100 mm PIR insulated façade panels.
The internal face of the panels incorporates an ALUZINC protective finish with enhanced resistance to ammonia exposure, ensuring that the building envelope is suitable for the aggressive environmental conditions characteristic of this type of facility.
As a result, the roof and façade envelope serve not only as the architectural enclosure of the buildings but also as an integral part of the technical solution, providing durability, appropriate thermal performance, and resistance under specific operating conditions. The halls incorporate a 12 cm thick C25/30 concrete industrial floor slab, designed as an unreinforced slab with dispersed fibre reinforcement.
The concrete floor is installed using Laser Screed technology to achieve the required level of surface flatness. The finished surface is additionally treated with a surface hardener, creating a durable and resistant industrial floor suitable for the specific operating conditions of the facility. Integrated Development of the ComplexThrough a rational site layout, a precast structural system, a specialized building envelope, and materials selected specifically for poultry-production conditions, the expansion creates an integrated and functionally organized production complex, designed to accommodate increased production capacity and support long-term operation.
Structura Concept starts every project with a team of dedicated experts. We are always looking for individuals who are eager to develop their skills and apply them together to create the best environments for people to produce, work, learn and live their lives.
We are not only interested in candidates with backgrounds in design, construction management or engineering, but also in people with skills in finance, accounting and business development. We know it takes a diverse team to build the future and we are looking for all types of talent to contribute.
