Our engineering approach for your cannabis project
The legal cannabis industry continues to expand globally, with companies investing heavily in infrastructure, technology, and innovation. The increasing demand of new legal cannabis cultivation, extraction, and purification facilities, to be compliant with cGACPs/cGMPs, is requiring design provided by specialized engineering companies.
PQE Group explicitly provides the technical expertise needed to ensure that medical cannabis laboratories and facilities can fully meet regulatory standards, operate efficiently, and incorporate state-of-the-art technology.
Designing a cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility presents unique challenges compared with traditional agricultural:
- Facility Layout Optimization – For cannabis cultivation, processing, and manufacturing facilities, the layout is crucial to ensure operational efficiency and compliance with regulations. PQE Group designs cannabis facilities with an efficient use of space in order to obtain maximum yield and lean workflows This facilitates seamless materials and personnel flows through each stage, reducing bottlenecks and increasing productivity.
- Energy and Water Efficiency –Indoor cultivation, proper irrigation, and artificial lighting systems play a key role in cannabis plants’ health and growth. PQE Group evaluates the most energy-effective and efficient options to provide precise hydration, reduce operational costs while promoting optimal photosynthesis, and prevent over- or under-watering.
- Environmental Control Systems – Ensuring specific and accurate range of temperature, humidity, and air quality is critical for cannabis cultivation to promote optimal growing conditions. PQE Group designs efficient HVAC systems to guarantee adequate climate control as well as to reduce the environmental impact of the facility.
- Regulatory Compliance and Security – Cannabis projects must adhere to local and federal rules regulating safety, security, and environmental impacts. PQE Group can guide cannabis businesses through the complex regulatory landscape, working with local and international regulatory agencies to ensure the facility is built and operated in full compliance with all the requirements.
PQE Group provides the expertise needed to lead Clients through the entire pathway towards a new medical cannabis facility design and authorization: from governments’ tender invitation to regulatory affairs, from facility design to plant construction, and from start-up of the entire manufacturing process to completion.
Collaborating with PQE Group ensures that your cannabis businesses can optimize operations, reduce costs, and meet the growing demand for high-quality products.
