Project Overview
This project involved the design and construction of an Automated Cold Storage Facility in High River, Alberta. The facility incorporates advanced automation technology for efficient storage and retrieval of products, while adhering to strict food safety and industry guidelines.
Project Goals
- Implement an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) to optimize inventory handling.
- Construct durable, reinforced concrete pads for dolly placements in the trailer parking area.
- Use steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs to enhance floor strength and durability.
- Build deep piled foundations with expanded base piles, pile caps, and anchor bolts to support the main building frame and connecting corridor.
- Create a large skyway corridor (10 feet high by 10 feet wide and 256 feet long) linking the warehouse to the production area.
- Ensure all construction complies with national food inspection standards and client requirements.
