Project Snapshot
Westco partnered with Cavendish Farms to deliver a large-scale, automated high-bay freezer storage facility engineered for frozen potato product operations. Managed by Harry Mueller, this industrial project required precision planning, envelope performance, and integration with a customer-supplied racking system.
The structure measures 345′ × 111′ × 120′ high, creating a vertical storage solution optimized for automation and cold-chain efficiency. With a total footprint of 38,295 square feet, this facility was designed to maintain thermal performance, structural integrity, and operational efficiency under demanding freezer conditions.
Our Role & Scope
-
Westco delivered specialized industrial construction services focused on structural envelope integration, high-performance insulation systems, and cladding engineered for freezer environments.
High-Bay Structural Envelope
- Constructed a 345′ × 111′ footprint structure
- Engineered to support a 120′ high automated racking freezer system
- Coordinated integration with customer-supplied and installed storage racking
Insulated Metal Panel System
- Installed 6″ IMP (Insulated Metal Panel) system
- Utilized Metalspan CF Mesa Foam insulated panels
- Designed to ensure long-term thermal stability in sub-zero operating conditions
- Extended cladding two stories high at 58′ 6″ and 60′ 10″
Roofing & Moisture Management
- Q-Deck roof system
- Built-up insulation with engineered slope package
- Torch-on roofing membrane for durability and weather protection
- Fourteen scuppers with downspouts installed to ensure controlled drainage on each side of the building
Industrial Safety Integration
- Atlas safety roof cable system installed
- Designed for long-term maintenance safety compliance
