About Hydroponics and Vertical Farm Construction
Hydroponic systems grow plants in nutrient water instead of soil, and are used for vegetables, herbs and fodder in small spaces or where soil is poor. We build the structure, benches or towers, water tanks, piping, drainage and the electrical and lighting provisions that the chosen system needs. Crop knowledge and nutrient management are essential and we can point you to training.
What we do
- Selection of system type, for example NFT, drip, deep water or towers
- Greenhouse, shade house or indoor room construction
- Tanks, pumps, piping and drainage
- Benches, racks, towers or vertical frames
- Electrical supply, timers and lighting where indoor growing is used
- Commissioning and operating guidance
What we need from you to quote
- Crop you intend to grow and the scale in plants or square metres
- Site, available space and whether growing is indoors or in a greenhouse
- Source and quality of clean water
- Electricity supply and backup
- Target market for the produce
- Your experience with hydroponics or willingness to train
