Greenhouse Construction

Wet weather has delayed construction in November but the erection team has been working on the trussworks and gutter assemblies. This material was transferred from the storage site by hand to prevent the forklifts and trucks from destroying the base grade. Once the roof glass is installed, the team will be able to work on shade, electrical, mechanical, and heating systems without weather delays.
