Then more trenches are cut at right angles to the two parallel trenches and prefab panels are dropped into these trenches. Then the parallel trenches are filled with concrete and the material between the panels is excavated. The end result is having panels standing in a 16-meter-wide trench below surface spaced at every 10-meters and these panels support the outside walls and also suspend plant growth tunnels. This provides three levels of plant growing surface below ground level in nine plant growth tunnels that run a length of 253-meters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overall View<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-139.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-139.png 975w, https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-139-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-139-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image above represents an expanded cube of land with a trench cut through it. The trench is cut just below the land surface. Within the trench stands the prestressed concrete panels, every ten meters on centers. The panels were dropped into the right-angle trenches and their ends were poured in concrete to become part of the two parallel retaining walls. The material between the panels is excavated and then plant growth tunnels are suspended within the panels. This results in having three levels of three tunnels per level for a total of nine plant growth tunnels below the land surface level with the tunnels running for the length of the trench at 253-meters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Panels and Poured Concrete Walls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-140.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-140.png 975w, https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-140-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/kmi2.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-140-768x391.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image above shows the structure (standing alone) without being sunk into a trench.
