Cold Storage and Cooler Building Construction

Cold storage and temperature-controlled facility construction serves the growing demand for refrigerated logistics in the DFW Metroplex. Food distributors, pharmaceutical companies, and specialized logistics operators require facilities that maintain precise temperature control while handling heavy truck traffic. We construct cold storage buildings from the ground up, incorporating the specialized systems these facilities demand.

Cold storage construction differs fundamentally from standard warehouse work. Insulated panel systems, vapor barriers, refrigeration equipment pads, and specialized floor construction all require coordinated installation. We manage the integration of building systems with refrigeration systems, ensuring proper interface between our work and refrigeration contractor scope.

Floor construction in cold storage facilities must prevent frost heave-the damaging expansion of ground moisture freezing beneath floor slabs. Heated floor systems or insulated floor assemblies prevent freezing. We install these systems according to refrigeration engineer specifications, ensuring long-term floor integrity.

Temperature zones within cold storage facilities-freezer, cooler, and ambient areas-require proper separation and transitions. Door systems, insulated walls, and air curtains maintain zone integrity. We construct zone separations that perform thermally while allowing efficient operations.

Dock areas for cold storage present particular challenges. Refrigerated trailers must maintain temperature during loading and unloading. Dock seals, air curtains, and vestibules minimize temperature loss. We construct dock systems that integrate with building refrigeration to maintain cold chain integrity.
