About Us

Southland Concrete Construction was established about 15 years ago by Scott Gordon. A carpenter by trade, Gordon has been building with concrete since he was in his 20's. Fifteen years ago, the dairy industry was taking off in southland, and Southland Concrete Construction began completing mainly dairy conversions.

Southland Concrete Construction has a large focus on sheds and barns, and about five years ago entered a joint venture with Winton Engineering to form Advanced Cow Barns. Southland Concrete Construction has a long history of building dairy wintering sheds both jointly and invidually in the past.

Southland Concrete Construction and Advanced Cow Barns completed one of the World's Largest Robotic Dairy Sheds (13000sqm) at Makikihi in South Canterbury for Aad and Wilma Van Leeuwen. It has rubber-floored stalls and lanes for cow traffic, and multiple concrete feed lanes on which maize silage, lucerne silage and protein additives are fed. The cows are able to decide when they eat, leep, and are milked through the DeLaval Voluntary Milking System. A Hynds Hypond effluent tank was also built by Southland Concrete Construction on Van Leeuwen farm to contain the effluent generated on robot shed.

With another three sheds on the go straight after finishing Van Leeuwen's farm, Gordon and Andrew Erskine have formed a partnership and set up a new company with four employees called Farmcrete Cosntruction, which will look after the concrete work in South Canterbury.
