On this episode of From the Cold Corner, we’re joined by Grady McAdams, northwest region and cold storage sales leader at Heatcraft, and John Tippmann, Vice President of Sales Strategy at the Tippmann Group.

The first project is a Class-A speculative freezer/cooler facility located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.

Cold Storage Construction installed more than 100,000 square feet of six-inch thick CF42 insulated metal panels.

The building features 50 trailer parking stalls, 48 dock doors and 51,000 pallet positions.

The multi-temperature facility will have the ability to accommodate multiple food storage, manufacturing, and distribution customers.

The new 45,590-square-foot facility will provide increased cold storage capacity for fresh produce and serve as a hub for the company’s U.S. and Canadian customers. 

The 298,000-square-foot state-of-the-art cold storage facility is located within the heavy-haul corridor, in close proximity to the Barbours Cut and Bayport container terminals, and with convenient access to the regional interstate highway system and multiple Class 1 railroads.  

Tips and strategies for industrial site identification prior to building cold facilities, particularly since greenfield sites are in high demand today.
