GGS Structures

While the debates around the cannabis plant are heated and varied, one thing that all opinions appear to agree with is: there is not enough research to date.

If you missed us at the CannaBusiness Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, here are a few highlights. Over 3000 attendees and GGS was booked solidly from start to finish. We discussed greenhouses, warehouses, irrigation, lighting, chillers vs HVAC systems, environmental controls and the value of an integrated system when looking to maximize yields. And of course everyone wanted to see our famous rolling benches.  Duane was on hand to walk licensees through the build out process and share his experience as project manager for several existing operations.

At GGS we believe that success means we have helped our customers grow.  To help you grow we listen to your concerns, hear what your needs are, and we actively watch what is going on in the world around us.  This enables us to provide better technology, more responsive services, and higher quality products to your farms.

Outside of how location plays a role in the security of a cannabis facility, greenhouses are also not typically designed to be high security buildings. Glass, polycarbonate, and poly walls can be penetrated much easier than a concrete block warehouse wall.  All cannabis growing sites need top of the line security cameras, vaults, alarm systems, etc.  Greenhouses need to add perimeter fencing and while this helps keeping thieves out, it also identifies the contents of the greenhouse.

GGS has been designing, improving, manufacturing, and building quality benches for growers for over 35 years.

In designing an efficient facility to grow medical marijuana, it is important that a well thought out plan is prepared and agreed to. Without this the cost of the project will escalate far above the budget. This plan needs to take into consideration all the requirements outlined in the regulations prepared by the governing body and the regulations of the municipality where the facility will be constructed.

The province's decision to allow heavily fortified medical marijuana production factories to be built on top of good agricultural farmland isn't sitting well with municipal politicians.

Several Lower Mainland cities wanted the new commercial pot producers that are being licensed by the federal government to be relegated to industrial land, arguing the high-security buildings would be a better fit there.
