Food Growning System
Development of a large scale modular hydroponic food growing system, a highly regulated environment enabling 24/7 365 day growth cycles to maximise potential and remove risk/failure via a Phase 1 9000sq/m growing 'space', eventually rising to 27k sq/m over 3 years (and 3 phases) within a significant investment programme. Specifically, I was responsible for the design and development of a one third length (4m) feasibility ‘clean room’ for growth test and evaluation, standards and regulatory control including the design of the modular growth ‘cradles’, with detachable docking systems for power, fluids +C02, airflow, temperature, humidity and waste.
