Cold Storage Construction in Riverside / Inland Empire, CA
The Inland Empire — Riverside and San Bernardino counties — is the largest industrial cold storage growth market in North America. We build refrigerated distribution centers along I-10, I-15, and I-215, serving the Port of LA / Long Beach overflow and Western US distribution.

Riverside / Inland Empire Cold Storage Considerations
CARB & Title 24 Compliance
California regulatory requirements apply across the Inland Empire — refrigerant compliance, energy code, and emissions reporting on every project.
Heat-Load Refrigeration Sizing
Triple-digit summer temperatures require oversized refrigeration capacity. We engineer condenser sizing for Inland Empire desert-adjacent climate conditions.
Big-Box Industrial Construction
Inland Empire favors large-format (250K SF+) cold distribution centers. Our experience scales to single-tenant and multi-tenant cold logistics campuses.
Why Choose Us for Riverside / Inland Empire Projects
Design-Build Under One Roof
Riverside / Inland Empire cold storage projects benefit from single-source accountability. We coordinate architecture, engineering, refrigeration design, and construction in-house — eliminating the seams between trades that cause cold storage failures.
Cold Storage Specialists
We don’t dabble in cold. Cold storage and refrigerated facility construction is what we do, every project, every day. The thermal envelope, refrigeration system, and operational workflow are designed together — not bolted on.
Houston-Based Project Leadership
Senior project management runs from our Houston HQ with mobile execution teams in Riverside / Inland Empire. Consistent project leadership across markets — not a local franchise with variable quality.
Local Subcontractor Networks
We pre-qualify and contract with local trade partners in Riverside / Inland Empire — concrete, steel, mechanical, electrical — backed by our QA/QC and safety standards.
Refrigeration Engineering Depth
Ammonia and Freon system design, blast freezer engineering, evaporator and condenser sizing, and controls integration — handled by in-house refrigeration engineers, not outsourced to a third-party MEP firm.
