Cold Room Run

back to projects

Overview

Insulated pipework and a refrigeration plant room for a cold store, tested under load before handover rather than proved with the system empty. A refrigeration system that has only run cold says very little; the load test is what shows whether it holds its temperature with the room full and the doors working.

The Challenges

A system that had to hold temperature with the doors opening all day, pipework that had to be insulated and vapour-sealed without a gap anywhere in the run, and a plant room that had to hand over alongside the cold store itself.

The Engineering Solution

The whole run insulated in sections with every joint vapour-sealed as it was made, a load test run over several days with the room full, and the plant room commissioned separately so it was not waiting on the cold store.

Design Elements

  • 01

    Structural Designing

    Customized innovative structural solutions engineered for strength, stability, and resilience, and also focused on safety and lasting durability.

  • 02

    Interior Designing

    Custom millwork, tailored cabinetry, and precision detailing engineered for aesthetic refinement and lasting durability.

  • 03

    Utility Work

    Power, water, drainage and lighting routed and tested in place, coordinated against the structure so nothing has to be cut through after it is finished.

  • 04

    Fabrication Work

    Structural steel, staircases and balustrades shop-drawn and finished off site, then bolted into position once the frame is true.
