The challenge
With a focus on providing for future generations, Ngai Tukairangi Trust needed infrastructure that would stand the test of time at their Twyford orchard. The brief was to install a cost-effective structure that would support an intensive 2D growing style, would require very low maintenance and would stand the test of time.
The Trust needed a solution that balanced immediate productivity needs with long-term sustainability while ensuring their growing system could adapt to changing environmental conditions and future innovations.
The solution
Working closely with the Trust’s team, we designed a solution focused on generational value:
- Pre-stressed concrete structure
- Zero CCA leaching design
- Future-proofed configuration
- Long-lasting and durable materials
The structure incorporates:
- Heavy-duty plant support system
- Advanced tensioning design
- Optimised growing layout
The results
- Sustainable structure established
- Soil health protected
- Enhanced productivity
- Long-term durability secured
- Reduced maintenance needs
