Case Studies
LettUs Grow, a Bristol-based indoor farming technology company, is passionate about food and the environment, and uses innovative aeroponic technology to grow produce sustainably.
Find out how we worked with LettUs Grow to convert two 40ft high cube shipping containers into vertical container farms.
UNDO needed a robust, relocatable lab to support carbon removal research in remote forest sites. We delivered two fully equipped, containerised laboratories with integrated power, water, storage, and workspaces — all designed for easy transport and real-world fieldwork.
When a Bristol-based start-up decided to expand its innovative concept of converting human urine into fertiliser, it needed a portable laboratory to begin the next step of its journey. Through close collaboration with our Conversions team, the perfect solution was developed.
