High-Performance Modular Cold Storage
At Mezzmaster by Westhead Associates Inc., we specialize in creating high-performance cold storage rooms using our proven Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) solutions. Recently, we completed a modular cold storage project in New Jersey that illustrates our ability to deliver flexible, turnkey solutions in challenging environments.
The Challenge: Cold Storage in a Leased Facility
Our client required a state-of-the-art walk-in cooler within a leased building, making modular construction a top priority. A significant hurdle was the facility’s roof structure, which lacked the strength to support the load of an insulated metal panel ceiling. Our team engineered a creative, cost-effective solution that functioned independently of the existing building’s joints.
The Mezzmaster Advantage: Steel and IMP Contractors
While many contractors specialize in only one area, Mezzmaster by Westhead Associates Inc. brings multiple capabilities under one roof. In addition to being expert IMP contractors, we are experienced steel and mezzanine builders.
For this project, our team designed and built a freestanding steel support structure inside the facility to carry the load of the insulated metal panels. This eliminated the need for outside subcontractors and streamlined the entire build. The system featured:
- Perimeter Columns: Spaced strategically along the walls for maximum stability.
- Bar Joists: Integrated below the IMP ceiling to create a secure, durable framework.
Two Approaches, One Contractor
We provided our client with two distinct engineering options:
- Building the IMP enclosure around the steel support structure.
- Building the steel structure beneath the IMP ceiling.
For this New Jersey cold storage build, the client chose to place the steel support under the IMP. Our team handled every phase of construction from start to finish. This flexible approach allows businesses to expand or modify their facilities quickly without managing multiple vendors.
