Cold storage capacity projects
Short answer
A cold-capacity project covers pre-cooling, chilled or frozen rooms, blast or IQF freezing and the refrigeration plant. Start with the cold storage cost tool using your own volume and temperature, then build the full budget and financing. Single-sector cold-chain projects are handled by ColdMatch.
What the project usually includes
- Pre-cooling and blast or IQF freezing
- Chilled and frozen rooms; pallet positions
- Refrigeration plant and refrigerant choice
- Insulated building, doors and docks
- Power, backup and monitoring
Exact scope depends on product, capacity, site and timeline. It is confirmed with you before any supplier is approached.
