Cold Storage

“The Cold Storage Design-Build Experts”

Food Tech specializes in the planning,

engineering and construction of cold

storage warehouse/distribution centers for

public warehousers, food processors, retailers,

wholesalers and third party logistics providers.

Your refrigerated facilities play an important

role in cold chain management, product quality

and overall operational costs. Our emphasis

is therefore on ensuring that your building’s

insulation system has a positive thermal/vapor

barrier seal, that your refrigeration

system provides the correct temperatures

and that upfront construction costs and

day to day maintenance/energy expenses

are as low as possible.

“Energy effi cient refrigeration, productive material handling systems & cost effectiveconstruction = profi table cold storage facilities”

From small expansions to millions

of cubic feet of cold storage space,

Food Tech has extensive cold storage

design/build experience throughout

North and South America.

Successful projects are all about the

people involved and we encourage you to

review the resumes of our principals and

engineering/construction staff .

Food Tech owners Luke Heff ernan, P.E.

and Mike Golden; each have over

20 years experience in cold storage design

& contruction – they have a vested

interest in your project’s success.

“The Cold Storage

There are many ways you can elect to

expand or build your new cold storage facility

and each approach has its own pros/cons.

At Food Tech, we are fl exible and happy to

work in any capacity the best serves the project.

Our services can be performed independently

or joined together for a turn-key, single source

responsibility approach. For the lowest construction

costs, highest quality levels and shortest schedule

our recommended approach is:

• Planning or feasibility study by experienced

engineers to realistically determine material

handling systems, facility layout, refrigeration load,

design requirements, cost and schedule.

• Detailed architecture/engineering and bid

packages by experienced engineers.

• Competitive bidding of all trades at the

supplier/subcontractor level to eliminate any

middlemen or pyramiding of fees which

allows us to buy out the project at the

lowest prices the market will bear.
