Indoor Medicinal Cannabis Growing Facility

Scope

This client grows medicinal cannabis which has proven to be effective in symptom relief for several types of health problems which is a great cause.

They did not hold back on any high-tech equipment. Much of the fertilizer dosing and control equipment was imported out of the Netherlands which was cool to see as a Dutchman.

The big challenge was to fit all the irrigation equipment and pipework in an existing building with many rooms and obstacles. Many hours of design work were needed to make it all fit. It was tremendously rewarding to see the end result.
