Once again, in August of 2013, Fruvemex
hired Mecalux to build some new cold storage with features similar to the first, and
which would share the loading and unloading docks. Sometime later, the second cold
storage was extended in length (cold storage 3) to obtain a capacity of 1,888 more
pallets.
The first warehouse is set up to expand
when necessary. This project will address
the future growth of the company and
adapt to market developments.
Clad-rack construction
The clad-rack warehouses are buildings
formed by the racking themselves whose
structure is where the vertical cladding and
the roofing are placed. Mecalux chose this
solution for Fruvemex because of its suita-
bility for cold and frozen storage. The reason
is its simplistic construction, it only occupies
the space and volume that is strictly required.
This represents considerable savings in pow-
er costs to keep the facility permanently at
the same temperature.
The entire structure is mounted on top of a
concrete slab that favors the insulation of
the floor with the sides of the building. The
cladding and the warehouse doors have the
proper thickness for the temperature they
operate with inside.
