Cold Storage & Cooler Buildings

Cold storage construction serves the temperature-controlled supply chain that delivers food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable products throughout the DFW region. These specialized facilities require construction expertise that addresses the unique challenges of maintaining temperature while managing energy costs and food safety requirements.

Insulated panel systems form the thermal envelope of cold storage buildings. Panel selection (thickness, facing material, and joint design) affects both thermal performance and construction cost. We install panels systems from major manufacturers and ensure proper vapor barrier continuity that prevents moisture migration.

Refrigeration system support requires careful coordination between building construction and mechanical installation. Pipe penetrations, equipment pads, and electrical service must be precisely located. We work with refrigeration contractors throughout construction to ensure systems integrate properly with building construction.

Freezer slabs require under-slab heating to prevent frost heave: ground ice formation that lifts floor slabs. These heating systems add complexity and cost but are absolutely essential for sub-freezing temperatures. We install glycol or electric under-slab heat systems that protect against this destructive phenomenon.
