Flex Acre Ecosystem Program
Fork Farms has developed innovative vertical hydroponic technology and products to ensure all communities have access to fresh food. In support of this mission, Demain worked with Fork Farms to productize the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems to compliment the modular deployment of the core vertical hydroponic product. Demain provides project management for each farm deployment, in addition to integrated design, manufacturing and installation services.
Productization eliminates the traditional barriers of designing and constructing an indoor farm. It simplifies the scope of work required of the facility to house a farm and provides the ability to easily scale to meet a wide range of square footage and budgeting requirements.
Demain Roles:
-
Co-created a productized MEP concept to compliment a vertical hydroponic product deployment.
-
