The six steps towards establishing a successful Vertical Farming development

Research

Understanding your business operations and objectives is key to the success of any Vertical Farming project. Our technical experts will use their experience advise on best technologies and systems which match your budget and location.

Business Case

We will work on your financial plan and offer assistance with regards your growing assumptions, construction materials and running costs to ensure the project we devise offers the best possible return on your investment.

Design and planning

Once the concept is created we can create CAD and 3D drawings to refine the design and agree the finer points. Energy provision will form a key part to ensure cost efficiency, and we can provide an integrated CHP to provide cost effective power.

Engineering

Our in-house engineering team will design, calculate, construct and commission everything you require including levels of automation, growing infrastructure, climate control, lighting solutions, seeding, harvesting, sterilisation, washing, irrigation and fertilization, all controlled to meet your needs.

Testing

A key part of our service is the complete testing of our systems before handover to clients, a period in which we’ll ensure all systems are set and operating to maximise the return on investment for our clients, and ensure maximum production at the most efficient level of performance.

Commissioning

The point when we are happy that your Vertical Farming project is complete and ready to go. We have the in-house skills, experience and knowledge to be confident of delivering on all elements of your project on time and within budget, before handover of the O&M manual.

Suitable for any size or budget

Vertical Farming systems let you grow crops anywhere. Any time. All year round. If you only have a small footprint of land, we can design a modular grow system from 1,500sqm that will produce more than 20,000kg of produce every year.

With our 5,500sqm Vertical Farm concept, you’ll enjoy complete automation – guaranteed to deliver a consistent product and the maximum possible ROI.

Hi-tech growing solutions to suit all budgets. A turnkey solution from consultancy to design and build.
