Sacramento / Central Valley Cold Storage Considerations

Seasonal Throughput Design

Central Valley cold storage must handle harvest-season volume spikes. Dock counts, refrigeration capacity, and rack systems engineer for peak throughput.

Agricultural Cold Chain Specifics

Produce, dairy, and nut storage each have distinct temperature, humidity, and atmospheric requirements. We design facilities for specific commodity profiles.

California Compliance

Title 24, CARB, and water restrictions apply. We build to California compliance standards across all Central Valley projects.

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.
