Scope
Our client wanted to develop a native seedling nursery to harvest seed more efficiently in their quest to try re-vegitate Australia. Their ambition plan required an ambition solution. We were engaged to provide an end-to-end water and power system with one catch it had to be green! 100% offgrid. We were excited about the opportunity to work with a client that wanted to push the envelope and innovate and rose the challenge. The project was the largest undertaken by FWS at the time and was a great learning curve for our team.
