Cold Storage and Cooler Building Construction in Frisco, TX

Temperature controlled cold storage and cooler facility construction in North Texas.

Cold storage and cooler facility construction requires specialized knowledge that extends beyond standard warehouse building methods. Insulated envelope systems, refrigeration infrastructure coordination, and specialized floor construction all demand construction approaches tailored to temperature-controlled environments.

Building envelope construction for cold storage facilities prevents thermal bridging and moisture infiltration that can compromise facility performance. Insulated metal panels, vapor barriers, and thermal break details all require precise installation to achieve required performance. We construct envelopes that maintain temperature control while minimizing energy consumption.

Floor systems in cold storage facilities face unique challenges from temperature cycling and moisture conditions. Insulated floor construction, heating systems to prevent frost heave, and specialized floor finishes all differ from standard industrial floor approaches. We construct floor systems designed for cold storage performance requirements.

Refrigeration system coordination is essential throughout construction. Piping penetrations, equipment pad locations, and electrical infrastructure all require advance planning to support refrigeration installation. We coordinate with refrigeration contractors from project outset to ensure building construction supports system installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature ranges can cold storage facilities you construct accommodate?
We construct facilities ranging from cooler applications near 35 degrees F to deep freeze facilities at -20 degrees F or colder. Construction approach varies based on target temperature and operational requirements.
How do you prevent frost heave in freezer floor construction?
Freezer floors include insulation and heating systems that prevent ground freezing beneath the slab. We coordinate heating system installation with floor construction to ensure proper function.
What building envelope systems do you use for cold storage?
Insulated metal panel systems are most common, with panel thickness selected based on target temperature and energy efficiency requirements. We install panels with attention to joint sealing and thermal break details.
How long does cold storage facility construction typically take?
Cold storage construction typically runs 10-14 months depending on facility size and complexity. The specialized envelope and floor systems require more time than standard warehouse construction.
