M45 Agri-Tech · Resilient Agriculture
Airformed concrete shell structures purpose-built for agriculture: cold storage, growing tunnels, livestock shelter, and winery infrastructure. Designed to keep operating through the storms that damage conventional steel-and-glass buildings.
Why M45 Agri-Tech
Most agricultural infrastructure was designed for a climate that no longer exists. Steel framing rusts in coastal humidity, glass shatters in hailstorms, polytunnels deflate in winter winds. Our airformed shell technology was designed for the new conditions.
400 km/h wind design capacity. Designed to resist hurricanes, hailstorms, and wildfire. Destroyed infrastructure is one of the biggest costs in modern agriculture, and the shell is designed to reduce it.
The thermal mass of the shell is designed to stabilize interior temperature, extending growing seasons, reducing HVAC load, and creating ideal conditions for cold storage and wine cellaring without industrial cooling.
Designed for a multi-century service life vs. 20 to 40 years for conventional agricultural buildings. The economics compound across generations of farming operations.
Applications
Four high-impact applications where the shell is designed to outperform conventional construction.
Wine & Beverage
Climate-stable wine production and aging facilities. The shell's thermal mass is designed to hold interior temperature within a ±1°C band without continuous mechanical cooling, the ideal environment for fine wine aging, fermentation, and bottle storage. Subterranean options available for serious cellars.
Low-demand design target
±1°C design target
Yes · 30 ft
Produce & Perishables
Resilient cold storage for produce, dairy, and other perishables, at the farm level or for regional cooperatives. The shell construction provides thermal mass designed to reduce refrigeration energy demand, and a structure designed to resist the storms that shut down conventional cold-chain infrastructure.
Low-demand design target
200 to 2,000 m²
FEMA P-361
Protected Cultivation
Long-span shell structures for year-round protected cultivation, vegetables, berries, ornamentals, and high-value crops. Engineered with LED grow lights for growth in any season, and automated venting systems that manage temperature, humidity, and CO² without manual intervention. Designed to FEMA P-361 hurricane guidance and to resist hail, a modern replacement for vulnerable polytunnels.
