The 8,000 sqm Spanish Greenhouse Project in Sanandaj
Kurdistan province and the city of Sanandaj are the green gems of western Iran. However, agriculture in this mountainous region has always faced the challenges of cold weather and uneven terrain. The 8,000-square-meter project executed by Gol Afrooz on the outskirts of Sanandaj is proof that with precise engineering, industrial and high-yield agriculture is possible even on the slopes of the Zagros Mountains. Below, we review the technical specifications and details of the 8,000-meter Spanish greenhouse project in Sanandaj.
Overcoming the Cold of Sanandaj Mountains with Gothic Structures
Sanandaj has cold winters with heavy snowfall. Maintaining the optimal temperature for plant growth in such conditions is vital.
-
Structure Choice: We utilized a Spanish structure with a Gothic Arch design.
-
Technical Advantage: The Gothic arch is the best geometric form for snowy regions because it prevents snow accumulation on the roof.
-
Thermal Insulation: Also, the volume of air trapped in the high height of this structure acts as a natural thermal insulator, preventing temperature shock to the plants during frosty nights.
Structural Engineering in Sanandaj’s Unique Topography
Unlike the flat central plains, lands in Kurdistan often have slopes and unevenness. Executing a unified 8,000-meter greenhouse on such land requires precise calculations.
-
Gol Afrooz Flexibility: Our bolt and nut system allows us to install the structure precisely according to the land's slope through engineering leveling (terracing), without compromising its strength.
-
Engineering Supervision: This project was executed under the strict supervision of the Agricultural Engineering Organization experts to ensure the structure's stability against mountainous winds and applied loads.
8,000 Meters: Ideal for Iran’s Strawberry Hub
Kurdistan is the hub of strawberry production in Iran. However, traditional production is no longer sufficient.
-
Industrial Scale: Constructing an 8,000-meter modern greenhouse provides excellent space for hydroponic strawberry cultivation.
-
Increased Efficiency: In this type of structure, using vertical (tiered) cultivation systems can multiply the cultivated area compared to open fields. The high height of the Spanish structure provides the necessary ventilation to prevent fungal diseases (the enemy of strawberries).
Material Quality: Long-Term Investment
In a humid and cold climate, using ordinary steel means wasting capital.
-
Hot-Dip Galvanized: All components of this 8,000-meter skeleton have been coated in hot-dip galvanization baths. This means 100% resistance against rust caused by greenhouse humidity and regional precipitation.
-
No Welding: Complete elimination of welding in connections guarantees the structure's useful life for decades and allows for future relocation.
From A to Z with Gol Afrooz
Executing projects in mountainous regions is our specialty. The Gol Afrooz team, with experience executing over 95 hectares of greenhouses annually, managed every stage of this project:
-
Mapping and design based on land topography.
-
Production of exclusive parts in the factory.
-
Fast and precise installation of the structure.
-
Consulting on selecting powerful heating systems suitable for Sanandaj’s cold.
Conclusion: Modern Agriculture, the Capital Saver
The 8,000-meter Sanandaj project demonstrated that geographical limitations can be solved with engineering knowledge. If you have land in the western and mountainous provinces of the country, turning it into a modern Spanish greenhouse is the smartest way to generate sustainable income.
