Silage Clamp for Dyson Farming AD Facility
Precast T-walls and Earth Bank Panels supplied for a fast, compliant clamp installation in Lincolnshire.
Precast Walling for Mixed-Crop AD Feedstock Storage: Project Overview
Dyson Farming required a new clamp system for their anaerobic digestion plant in Nocton, Lincolnshire. The site needed a durable and compliant solution for storing various crop types. We worked directly with the Dyson team to design and supply a combined retaining wall system that was quick to install and easy to adapt.
The solution included 3m-high AGRI T-walls for a central dividing wall and sloped Earth Bank Panels to form the outer clamp boundaries. We installed the central wall in a single day, while the Earth Bank system was completed by the client’s own contractors.

Installation Timeline: One Day for T-Walls. Clamp Ready to Use.
Our team supplied and installed the 3m high AGRI T-walls using a crane, completing the central wall section in just one working day. The Earth Bank Panels were installed by the client’s in-house team, we also provided all accessories required – including seating channels, tie bars, mastic, and sealant.
The full clamp layout now supports multiple feedstocks while meeting all environmental and structural requirements.
Why AGRI Walls Were the Ideal Solution
The team at Dyson needed a system that could divide the clamp into separate bays while maximising silage capacity and maintaining compliance. Our AGRI T-walls were chosen for the central dividing wall, providing strength and quick installation with minimal joints. To minimise groundwork and reuse the existing landscape, Earth Bank Panels were used for the outer walls.
This combination reduced labour and installation time while offering a modular, high-performance clamp layout that can support heavy equipment and diverse feedstock handling.
