Projects

For United Farms, VB previously equipped two greenhouses at Agropark in Mexico with an innovative climate system. Now it was time for an expansion of another 13 ha. All the while ensuring the existing crops could keep growing.

VB is the general contractor for Mighty Vine, a state-of-the-art tomato farm in the US. Together with Havecon and PB, we designed a total solution that incorporates all available modern cultivation solutions.

A greenhouse for baby leaf lettuce on the East Coast of the US, where it can reach -25 C in winter and +38 C in summer. VB embraced the challenge, designing and creating an advanced automatic cultivation system.

A complete vertical farm next to a car park in the middle of an urban area. This was a unique project for PB tec, which boosted the local market and helped people with disabilities find jobs.

To grow their baby leaf lettuce, Little Leaf Farms wanted an optimal and sustainable combination of water technology, electrical engineering, lighting and automation. This allowed PB tec to put its innovativeness to good use.

VEK assisted the Duijvestijn Brothers with their latest project to setup a brand new 10 hectare glasshouse project, equipped with LED, double screens, dehumidification systems and heated by geothermal energy.

Client’s local team already prepared a concept together with a local architect. VEK improved the project regarding logistics, labour conditions, energy saving, footprint and capital investment.

Design, tendering and procurement services for an 11 hectare high-tech tomato glasshouse with cooling & dehumidification system to be able to grow in the harsh climate of United Arab Emirates.

In late 2022, Kascoplex provided clear polycarbonate sheets for the construction of several intermediate walls. HS Tuinbouwservices was commissioned by their customer to create multiple sections within an existing greenhouse. The creation of these sections within a greenhouse has several advantages, including the ability to control the climate in each section and carry out multiple tests.

Thanks to the high insulation value of polycarbonate, these sections are perfectly insulated, providing an ideal environment for the plants to grow. With Kascoplex's clear polycarbonate sheets installed in the intermediate walls, the sections will benefit from excellent light transmission, making them perfect for healthy plant growth.

Kerklaan Greenhouses has recently completed a new growing space at Bloemen Young Plants in Venhorst, Noord-Brabant, spanning an impressive 9,331 m². This greenhouse is made up of both new and used materials and features a 12.80 truss with a 9.00m underslung truss for safe use of forklifts and other equipment.

Kascoplex was proud to collaborate with Kerklaan on this project, providing 1700m² of SPC UV2 16/5W Clear polycarbonate sheets for the greenhouse walls. These high-quality polycarbonate sheets offer excellent light transmission of nearly 70%, which is perfect for promoting healthy plant growth.

With Kascoplex's clear polycarbonate sheets installed in the greenhouse walls, the flowers at Bloemen Young Plants will have the ideal growing environment to thrive. These sheets are not only lightweight and easy to handle, but they also provide superior insulation properties compared to traditional glass.

At the end of 2020, Kascoplex delivered 6300m² of 16mm thick polycarbonate wall material for the second phase of the Intergrow project, located in the American state of New York near the city of Ontario. The customer's requirement was that the walls should not allow any light to pass through. Therefore, Havecon chose to supply the Opaque Grey variant, which is perfect for this application.

Thanks to its X-structure, the Kascoplex polycarbonate sheet offers exceptional insulation properties, with an insulation value of 2.1 Watt/M².K. This makes it an ideal solution for the growing of tomatoes in a climate with cold winters and hot summers, as it provides excellent insulation to maintain a consistent growing environment.

Kascoplex has been a trusted supplier for this project, having supplied both light-blocking and clear sheets for the earlier phases of the project. The installation process is seen in full swing in the photo below, showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Kascoplex's products in action.

Havecon has realized for Beekenkamp Plants for the location in 's Gravenzande, phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. At this location, with over 10 hectares of ultramodern greenhouses, mainly starting material for fruit vegetables is grown, of the highest quality and according to the highest hygiene protocols.

Havecon has completed a 16.6-acre greenhouse for Demers in St. Nicolas, Quebec, Canada. Demers grows beef tomatoes, vine tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at their location in St. Nicolas.

Havecon has completed a 2.4 hectare greenhouse and a 0.6 hectare warehouse for Flora Pack in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. At this location, Flora Pack grows flowers and potted plants.

Havecon has completed a 14.5-acre advanced CEA greenhouse for AppHarvest Inc. in Somerset, Kentucky, USA. AppHarvest, Inc., building some of the world’s largest high-tech greenhouses to grow affordable, nutritious fruits and vegetables at scale. 

Project Tedy Co is a real example of growing crops locally. The greenhouse has been designed according to all local and national Japanese norms and requirements. The greenhouse and all equipment’s makes it possible to produce high quality vegetables in the (extreme) Japanese climate. If you combine this with the smart farming system from our local Japanese partner NTT Agri Technology, you can say that this greenhouse is future proof!

The greenhouse facility that Bom Group has built in the UAE makes it possible to grow (year-round) vegetables in an extreme climate in the United Arab Emirates. The technologies used in the greenhouse are based to the needs of the plant, because we create the climate in the greenhouse as optimal as possible for the plants, it is possible to achieve maximum yields with using minimal water. 

Pure Green Farms is a semi-closed greenhouse equipped with a complete automized lettuce system, from potting until harvesting. The greenhouse is able to produce year-round lettuce of very high-quality while using as less water and energy as possible. The complete greenhouse facility is equipped with HPS- and LED lighting to achieve the highest possible yield per square meter. 

Designed and built a 1.1 hectares medical cannabis growing glasshouse. The project included help to secure planning permission, overseeing construction and design and install of growing systems.

Design, planning and build of a six hectare glasshouse packed with energy-saving LED lighting to extend day length. CambridgeHOK managed and oversaw the entire process, from design and construction to handover, including the construction of a 1,500sqm packing and cold store facility.
