Outdoor Cultivation Process & Layout Design
Process and layout design defines the basis of the cultivation process along with the associated equipment, farm layout, and its interaction with the material flow. The process design specifies critical supporting utilities, supporting irrigation systems and their relevant specifications, water well locations, special piping and instrument requirements, and the actual process itself. The process design also specifies the expected capability of the process.
After the process is completed, the design is typically commissioned by the customer to ensure that it is built correctly an according to all the specifications that are in the process documentation.

OUTDOOR CULTIVATION PROCESS & LAYOUT DESIGN PHASE PROCESS:
Stakeholder Identification
The stakeholders shall be identified by the client. The client shall provide product definition and quality specifications for those products. The stakeholders shall also define their current and future desired capability goals for the production facility
Review Existing Site Drawings & Topographical Information
The existing site drawings and topographical information shall be reviewed and locations of existing wells, depressions, chemical storage locations and utilities identified. If maps or drawings are not available, drawings will need to be made by the Customer and verified by United Science.
Virtual Inspection
The customer shall then facilitate a virtual inspection of the property with the stakeholders to verify utility and depression locations. Based on the supplied drawings and the virtual inspection, we then proceed to make initial process design options.
Stakeholder Design Review
We conduct a design review with all stakeholders. The outcome of this review shall be to agree on the basis of design, identify risks, obtain approval for workflow and initial layout, and to agree on process capability for the design. We then obtain approvals incorporating all stakeholder inputs in addition to identifying risks for the design before we proceed to the engineering phase.
Engineer Processes
We engineer the processes and create the deliverables.
Risk Identification
Identified products quality and specifications risks are identified with stakeholders. These risks are managed and or eliminated by process or facility risk management.
Additional Notes
- The included time to start and complete the process outlined above is greater than 3 months after signing the agreement for services. The contract will be considered to be completed in full and the terms completely satisfied even if the designs have not been finalized and engineering has not yet been completed.
- At extraktLAB’s sole discretion, we may provide engineering and plans beyond the 3 month limit.
- Design phase includes one design and one iteration based on the design review. If the design phase takes more than three months, the contract shall be considered fulfilled even if the engineered drawings are not delivered.
- Additional designs are charged at $5000 USD per design.
- The customer is responsible for approving the process design and qualifying the process.
