Working progress installations Porta Nova

The construction of the greenhouse itself was already finished a couple of weeks ago. From the outside is does not seem that much is happening at the moment. And yet there is a large group of people present at the project every day to ensure that the greenhouse can be operational this year. A good moment to have a look at the progress of the various installations in the greenhouse.

The foundation of the warehouse is under construction.

From the outside it is only visible that one gable is still open, and that work is being done on the foundation of the warehouse. This warehouse has a multifunctional character. The packing hall will be established in this warehouse together with sorting machines and other required machinery. This building will also include an office, canteen and dressing rooms.

The working activities become visible once you walk into the greenhouse.

The first thing you notice when entering the greenhouse is that they are digging almost everywhere. This has to do with the installation of the irrigation system and the water buffer. Piping needs to be placed between the water technical area and the water buffer. Paths have been laid out to ensure that all vehicles can still enter the greenhouse.

The water buffer looks like a large swimming pool.
