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 perfectly illustrates our ability to deliver flexible, turnkey solutions—even in challenging environments.
The Challenge: Cold Storage in a Leased Facility
Our client needed a state-of-the-art walk-in cooler but didn’t own the building. This meant modular construction was a top priority. Because the facility’s roof structure wasn’t strong enough to support the load of the insulated metal panel ceiling, our team had to engineer a creative, cost-effective solution without relying on the existing building’s joints.
The Mezzmaster Advantage: Steel + IMP Contractors
Unlike many contractors who 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 also 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—eliminating the need for outside subcontractors.
The system featured columns spaced along the perimeter walls and bar joists running across the top below the IMP ceiling, creating a secure and durable framework for the cold storage room.
Two Approaches—One Contractor
We gave our client two options:
- Build the IMP around the steel support structure
- Build 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, and our team handled every phase of construction from start to finish.
This flexible approach allows businesses to expand or modify their facilities quickly without needing multiple contractors. Mezzmaster is your single-source partner for insulated metal panels, steel structures, and mezzanines.
