9,000 square meters of Spanish greenhouse in Varamin

Review of the 9,000 sqm Spanish Greenhouse Project in Varamin

The Varamin plain has always been known as the agricultural jewel of Tehran province. Being close to Tehran's largest consumer market is a golden opportunity, but traditional farming in this region faces challenges like water shortages and very hot summers. The 9,000-square-meter project executed by Gol Afrooz in Varamin is a successful example of shifting towards industrial agriculture. In this article, we examine why this project is considered an ideal model for profitability in hot and dry regions.

Overcoming Varamin’s Heat with Spanish Structures

The biggest concern for greenhouse owners in Varamin is temperature control in July and August. If the heat isn't vented, the plants suffer from thermal stress, and the crop is lost. What was Gol Afrooz’s engineering solution? We used a Spanish structure with a high height and standard roof vents for this project.

• Why this structure? The high height (usually 6 to 9 meters to the ridge) causes hot air to rise and stay away from the plants.

• Chimney Effect: Also, Roof Vents create excellent ventilation using natural air flow (the chimney effect), reducing the cost of using electric cooling fans.

Managing the Water Crisis with Modern Technology

Varamin struggles with limited water resources. Constructing a modern 9,000-meter greenhouse is the best answer to this crisis.

• Water Efficiency: In this modern structure, due to precise insulation and the possibility of installing smart irrigation and hydroponic systems, water consumption is reduced to one-tenth of open-field farming.

• Hydroponic-Ready Structure: The strength of Gol Afrooz structures allows for the easy installation of cultivation gutters and hanging systems, creating a completely isolated and low-consumption environment.

9,000 Square Meters: A Scale to Conquer the Tehran Market

Why is 9,000 meters a smart and strategic choice for Varamin?

• Reduced Logistics Costs: This greenhouse is located near Tehran. High production volume in 9,000 sqm (e.g., annual production of 300 tons of cucumbers or tomatoes) drastically reduces transport costs and increases your bargaining power with major buyers at Tehran’s central fruit and vegetable market.

• Economic Justification of Facilities: The cost of buying boilers, RO water treatment systems, and climate automation for 5,000 meters isn't much different from 9,000 meters; but at 9,000 meters, these costs are amortized over more product, increasing the profit margin.

Technical Specs: The Quality of Gol Afrooz Greenhouses

In a hot and dry climate with high day-night temperature fluctuations, the structure must have high flexibility and resistance. The features of the Varamin project include:

• All Bolt and Nut Structure: Complete elimination of welding means saying goodbye to rust. All parts are mechanically produced in the factory and assembled on-site.

• Hot-Dip Galvanized: Using standard thickness hot-dip galvanized coating insures the structure against humidity from plant transpiration and fogger systems.

• Design Based on Wind: The Varamin plain sometimes faces strong winds. Static calculations for this project were done precisely based on the region's wind speed and engineering regulations.

Supervision and Execution: Gol Afrooz’s Commitment

One of this project's strengths was execution speed and attention to detail. The Gol Afrooz execution team, with a track record of over 95 hectares of projects annually, delivered this greenhouse from A to Z. This means the investor had no worries about coordinating different contractors (foundation, skeleton, plastic, facilities), and everything proceeded under unified management.

Conclusion

The 9,000-meter Varamin project proved that by combining an excellent location with an engineered structure, you can overcome climate limitations and achieve sustainable profitability. If you have land on the outskirts of major cities, this greenhouse model is your best option.
