Cannabis, Hemp and Indoor Farming

We are an industry leader in indoor farming construction. From cannabis and hemp to produce, indoor farming facilities are something we know well. Miles has quickly risen to become a recognized industry leader. Our advanced manufacturing capabilities coupled with our ability to seamlessly work hand-in-hand with market visionaries has enabled us to complete a number of projects – from concept to completion and from ground up to reconstruction.

When the cannabis industry began to take off in the US, Miles was quick to carve out a niche, building facilities for both regional and National industry leaders across the West Coast. This industry knowledge and experience has positioned us as leaders in the indoor farming industry.

Miles is passionate about our work with indoor farming for many reasons. One, it aligns with our company goals of encouraging sustainability. Indoor farming is great for our environment, and it is the solution to feeding more people throughout the world. In general, indoor farming has produced crop yields from 10 – 30 times per acre and uses 90% less water than traditional farming. Crops can be grown in any climate, during any season, decreasing the carbon footprint for delivering crops to urban areas.

As we have learned more about indoor farming, we have become captivated by the opportunities, not just from a construction standpoint but from a society perspective. This is the path forward to address the many challenges that exist in feeding the world. Globally, this approach has been proven to succeed and is already an accepted practice, while here in the US it is just starting to catch on as we realize the benefits of a controlled climate. These benefits include weed control that no longer requires herbicides and insect control that no longer requires pesticides, plus an optimal, nutrient rich, and clean controlled water source that no longer requires the GMO approach and provides a nutrient rich, naturally grown product the way it was meant to be. The technology that we have been and continue to incorporate into cannabis facilities are also technologies that have existed for years in the indoor farming industry. In essence we are taking the technology back to its roots, what it was originally designed to do, whether that be tomatoes, orchids or lettuce.

We continually have several horticulture projects in design and under construction in multiple markets, nationally building primarily state-of-the-art Venlo-style greenhouse facilities, incorporating, extraction and production facilities when applicable.

We know that indoor farming and particularly cannabis projects come with their own set of unique challenges and requirements, which include complying with ever-evolving state regulations. In many cases, local and state jurisdictions are not accustomed to greenhouse buildings, and subsequently do not have building codes that specifically address this type of structure. Miles has worked with state and local governments to address this, creating a path forward for a cost-effective solution and opening the doors to more projects in the future. These types of builds require highly-targeted, specific planning to ensure the facilities meet, maintain or exceed the industry’s stringent rules and regulations – all the while keeping in step with the incredibly fast-paced development of industry-specific products.

We’ve become experts in industry-specific operational and procedural requirements which include engineering, climate control systems, water and power delivery as well as usage. In addition, we must understand the chemicals and MSDS used in the project “clean room” design as well as the technical requirements of industrial laboratories and kitchens. Contamination, disease, pests and condensation are other considerations that must be accounted for in the construction process.

There’s no question Miles Construction one of the leaders in the US in building cultivation and production facilities. We are believers, we are excited, this is the future of agriculture in the US, and we are helping to build this revolution.
