Client:
A leading vertical farm producing 6.5 tonnes of leaf salad, herbs, and fresh produce daily using cutting-edge, sustainable technology. Currently specialising in leafy greens, they plan to expand into soft fruits, rice, wheat, soy, and peas in the future.
Project Scope:
Design and installation of a commercial refrigeration system for a large-scale goods-out cold room. The cold room is critical to maintaining the freshness and quality of the farm’s vast daily output.
Challenges:
The vertically stacked growing space and the farm’s large-scale operations required a highly efficient and environmentally friendly cooling solution. The design needed to be adaptable, durable, and energy-efficient while meeting the farm’s long-term sustainability goals.
