The 6,500 sqm Spanish Greenhouse Project in Tabriz, Azerbaijan

Tabriz is known as the "City of Firsts" and Iran’s commercial gateway to Europe and the Caucasus. But for a farmer, Tabriz means harsh winters, long frosts, and heavy snowfalls. Is it possible to harvest crops year-round in such a climate? The 6,500-square-meter project executed by Gol Afrooz on the outskirts of Tabriz is a positive engineering answer to this challenge. This project demonstrates how selecting the right technology can overcome the cold and maximize Tabriz's export potential.

Winning the Battle Against Snow: The Gol Afrooz Gothic Spanish Greenhouse

The biggest concern in building a greenhouse in East Azerbaijan is the heavy snow load on the roof and high heating costs. Ordinary structures either collapse under these conditions or incur crippling fuel costs.

  • The Gol Afrooz Solution: We used a Spanish greenhouse with a Gothic Arch roof for this project.

  • Why Gothic? The pointed arch of this structure resembles church architecture. This geometric form prevents snow from accumulating on the roof, causing it to slide quickly into the gutters.

  • Energy Saving: The high height of this structure accommodates a massive volume of air. This air cushion acts as a powerful thermal insulator, preventing temperature shock to plants during Tabriz's -20°C nights.

6,500 Meters: Production at Export Standards

Tabriz is the closest economic hub to markets in Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

  • Economic Scale: Constructing a modern 6,500-meter greenhouse provides a production volume that makes exports economically justifiable.

  • Product Quality: In this modern greenhouse, due to precise temperature/humidity control and the possibility of hydroponic cultivation, products (like cluster tomatoes, colored bell peppers, or roses) are produced with an appearance and shelf-life that pass strict export standards.

Steel Structure Strength: The Best Choice Against Humidity

In a humid greenhouse environment, rust means the slow death of capital. At Gol Afrooz, we don't sacrifice quality for cost:

  • Hot-Dip Galvanized: All profiles and pipes used in this project have a hot-dip galvanized coating. This thick zinc layer protects the structure from rust even in the most humid conditions.

  • Bolt & Nut Connections: No welding was used in this entire 6,500-meter skeleton. All parts are mechanically produced and assembled with high-strength steel bolts and nuts. This means higher resistance against Tabriz's strong winds and the ability to relocate the structure in the future.

Zero to Hundred Project Management

Executing projects in cold regions requires precise timing so that the cold season doesn't halt the construction process. The Gol Afrooz execution team, with experience in over 95 hectares of projects annually:

  • Managed foundation and concreting using anti-freeze additives.

  • Completed structure installation in the shortest possible time.

  • Installed the plastic covering (polycarbonate or multi-layer films) using specific techniques for wind resistance.

  • All stages were performed under the supervision of the Agricultural Engineering Organization.

Spanish Greenhouse: An Always-On Machine

This structure isn't just a roof; it's a production machine. Its robust design allows for the installation of the world's most advanced equipment:

  • Shading and energy-saving systems to reduce fuel consumption.

  • Boom irrigation and fogging systems.

  • Cultivation gutters for hydroponic systems.

Conclusion: A Secure Investment in the Heart of Azerbaijan

The Tabriz project symbolizes Gol Afrooz’s capability to adapt engineering to harsh climates. If you have land in the cold northwest regions of the country, choosing the right structure can turn the threat of cold into an opportunity for high-priced off-season production.
