Americold

United Insulated Structures was initially contracted by Karis Cold to design+build a speculative 247,000 sf “Tri-Temp” facility. As design progressed and construction commenced, Americold acquired the project, assuming leadership and new requirements.

This transition prompted a continuous redesign to meet Americold’s specific operational needs. We were tasked with evaluating a range of alternatives, including enhanced blast freezing capabilities, various rail access configurations, and adjustments to the freezer/refrigerator balance. 

In addition, unforeseen changes mandated by local municipalities required quick adaptation. Despite these evolving demands, we successfully integrated all modifications without disrupting active construction, maintaining both the project schedule and budget with minimal impact.
