At MB3 Technical, conservation and biodiversity are at the heart of safeguarding our planet for future generations. We are proud to have partnered with a leading nationwide organisation dedicated to protecting Britain’s treasured heritage. Our role? Designing and delivering bespoke seed storage solutions to ensure vital plant species are preserved for decades to come.
On one of the country’s most iconic national estates, an inspiring conservation project is underway: collecting, cataloguing, and storing seeds from a wide variety of native plants. By preserving these seeds, the project ensures that Britain’s biodiversity remains resilient, protecting valuable ecosystems and enabling future generations to enjoy the natural heritage we cherish today.
Seed Storage Solutions for Long-Term Preservation
MB3’s expertise in climate-controlled environments allowed us to deliver a tailored solution. We installed a state-of-the-art seed store, precisely maintained at 15°C and 15% humidity, alongside a standalone -20°C freezer for long-term storage of sensitive specimens. These carefully engineered conditions are essential to maintain seed viability over many years.
Our modular chamber technology played a pivotal role in this project. It enabled rapid deployment, flexible configuration, and space-efficient solutions, all critical factors when working in heritage estates where structural limitations and environmental sensitivity must be considered.
Modular Seed Storage Solutions for Conservation Projects
At MB3, we pride ourselves not only on technical expertise but also on our ability to collaborate closely with stakeholders. For this project, that meant understanding the unique requirements of botanists, conservationists, and estate managers to ensure that our storage solution met both functional and environmental standards. The result is a highly adaptable facility that supports ongoing conservation efforts while safeguarding Britain’s plant heritage.
Protecting Legacies, One Environment at a Time and Safeguarding Biodiversity
This project highlights MB3’s commitment to building environments that protect legacies. From precision climate control to modular, space-saving designs, our solutions help organisations across the UK preserve biodiversity, maintain compliance, and future-proof their conservation initiatives.
At MB3, we don’t just construct technical environments, we help protect the natural and cultural heritage that defines Britain, delivering all our seed storage solutions proudly Made in Britain.
