As they continue to expand, Riverview needed a high-performance solution for their rotary milking parlor and dairy barn walls. Given the rigorous demands of dairy operations, they required a durable, cleanable system that could withstand constant moisture, chemical exposure, and daily washdowns—all while maintaining a bright, sanitary environment for their herd. Integrating a seamless PVC liner into the walls creates a bright, sanitary, and durable surface.
