Give & Go Prepared Foods Freezer Warehouse Facility

End-To-End Warehouse Construction

Panattoni Development Company hired us to design and build a new freezer warehouse for its client, Give & Go Prepared Foods, a manufacturer of baked products.

We built the company's new 12,077 m² on 7.5 acres of land, including 370 m² of office space, an impressive 56-foot-tall freezer and a marshalling area for loading the company’s products into trucks.

For the project, we handled the following elements:

• Installing a glycol heating system under the freezer warehouse slab to minimize the spread of frost (a critical element for ensuring that the glycol lines would not be punctured and would remain intact when we poured the concrete floor, which required careful coordination of the stakeholders on site).
• Pressurizing the lines and monitoring the system for pressure loss (with the freezer operating at -20° Celsius, we worked with specialists to build an envelope to the highest standards to provide a durable, defect-free building).
• Installing a R717 ammonia refrigeration system (with screw compressors, evaporators and condensers).
• Installing a double built-in sprinkler system (covering Class I to IV products).
• Adding overhead freezer doors that effectively eliminate infiltration and air leakage by 80%.
• Adding a site-wide stormwater containment system.
• Installing a shelving system (providing up to 25% more storage space).
