Japan: Construction new 2 ha greenhouse Richfield Miho in full swing

Last summer, Arend Sosefs Japanese partner Tomita Technologies Ltd. gave the trust to supply and install the water and electrical installations for a new greenhouse in Mihomura, Inashikigun, Ibaragiken (Japan). The project is called Richfield Miho and counts over 2ha. The intended crop that is to be grown in the greenhouse are peppers.

After some troubles with permits and bad weather conditions, the greenhouse builder is currently finishing the construction. This gives Arend-Sosef the possibility to start with the installation of the water technical installation. The coming weeks there will be about 3 Arend-Sosef supervisors on site to instruct the local workforce and coordinate the installation.

The mechanics have just been started with the assembly of the rain water pipe network. The weather conditions are not really favourable and the local workforce needs a lot of instructions, but hopefully things will improve gradually in order to obtain the goal to employ the greenhouse by June.

The water technical installation includes:

-the complete rain water collection network
-water storage tanks + pipe network (for rain water, spring water, drain water and disinfected drain water)
-the drain network for condensed water
-a combined pump set + filter sets on behalf of the Vialux and pump set for drip irrigation (delivered by Priva)
-polyester tanks for the storage of soluble fertilizers and acid/lye solutions + el. mixers
-the complete drip irrigation installation and drip irrigation hoses
-the complete drain water storage and transit network
-the fresh water irrigation network

Later on, Arend Sosoef will also start with the installation of the electrical part of the project. At the moment, the required materials are being transported to the site. The complete electrical installation, including the computers and the labour registration, will be performed by Arend-Sosef.
