Project

At Thompson we enjoy working with a wide variety of clients including a broad range of agricultural businesses.  Lovett Family Farms are one such business.  Situated beside the Ashburton River and overlooking lush, fertile Canterbury soil, Lovett Family Farms produce top quality crops and are continuing to expand.
With an expanding operation requiring a large agri machinery fleet to match, it was identified the client needed a purpose-built workshop/garage to service their fleet.
The Thompson team partnered with Lovett Family Farms to design and construct a 1600m² new workshop. It features five 7m bays, four of which have large roller door access with one of these bays a complete drive through enabling efficient servicing for larger machinery and vehicles.  The 15m canopy has one bay covered in keeping the elements at bay.
Featuring a 5 tonne gantry crane this gives the operation efficiency, safety and the ability for the service team to get the fleet back in the field faster.
