SAFE TO PLATE

RYAN'S RECIPE FOR FOOD SAFETY DESIGN Among the highly complex nature of food and beverage facilities, food safety requires meticulous coordination to protect its end consumers and overall brands. Not only does sanitary design need to comply with applicable regulations, but it also must work in coordination with the client’s standard operating procedures and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. It is also critical for our design and construction teams to understand the nuances of how the client's operations will influence key food safety risk areas.

From navigating a comprehensive sanitary design approach to constructing a safe facility that improves and streamlines the overall production process, Ryan's expert design-build team guides our clients through the many risks, processes, and opportunities specific to food and beverage manufacturing and processing facilities. Food safety is prioritized upfront and throughout all aspects of design to assist the client in avoiding causing unintentional illness to consumers or harm the brand name. Our approach focuses on three key elements: transparency, technical expertise and a clear understanding of our owner's operations.

MASTERING THE DETAILS COLD STORAGE

Our team approaches every project with a commitment to mastering the details, earning our client's trust by guiding them through complex processes with proven expertise. Many of our clients have faced challenges around previous cold storage issues – from leaks to frost or ice to condensation – we aim to be a reliable partner to help them prevent these costly, impactful issues with design and proper installation. We understand that no two projects are the same, so we tailor our “starter” set of industry-proven cold storage details to the project’s specific needs and then put those details into the hands of our highly capable teams.

Strong details within the drawing set do not guarantee success. The magic is being able to correctly execute the details in the correct order of operations and get the feedback from the installation team back into the hands of the designers for a continuous improvement process. Through this approach, we know our details are buildable and reliable. We have partnered wtih premier trade partners in the Cold Storage industry to identify the most practical and effective solutions. By balancing proven methods with adaptability, we deliver thoughtful solutions that align with budgets, schedules and client expectations.

OnDesign

H O L I ST I C A P P R OAC H For all cold storage projects, the goal is to ensure that a quality drawing document set with accurate details is translated into the field and a precise order of operations occurs during installation. In order for this to take place on our projects, all design and construction team members are thoroughly trained on the physics and thermal dynamics that inform the details. These cold storage specific details are mocked up both virtually within the digital model and live on-site to confirm accuracy, catch errors and deliver the highest quality product. This process takes the pressure off the client to navigate this complicated process, and allows our team to take on the responsibility of confirming it is executed correctly the first time.

C R I T I CA L C O N N E C T I O N K N OW L E D G E Understanding the critical connection points in cold storage facilities is only half the battle in properly addressing them. Challenging areas, such as spaces where variable temperatures and differing materials meet or where adjacent temperatures/humidity needs differ, require clear details and a team that understands the complexity of installing them. This prevents costly fixes and disruptions to operating facilities. In our pursuit of accuracy in detailing, we have also invested in thermal modeling software in order to more fully understand how the details will perform.

I N D U ST RY PA RT N E R S H I P S Through close collaborations with trade partners such as highperforming cold storage installation subcontractors, our continuous loop of design-build feedback is strengthened by the knowledge of our subcontractor market to deliver our clients the best-in-class solutions.

These partnerships allow us to identify materials that are easy to install, high in quality, and readily available. As the cold storage expectations for quality have changed over the past few years, these strong partnerships mean we get to encourage the use of best in market materials and start to challenge the "status quo" of what has been used in the past for newer, higher quality alternatives.

BUILDING BIG

BLUEPRINT FOR MEGASITE SUCCESS The complexities and nuances of designing and master planning large developments can range from building phasing, to utility access, to rezoning efforts and so much more. Working on multiple developments more than 100 acres, our knowledge on this scale of projects helps us empower our clients for success in every aspect of the development.

OnDesign

Wh a t sh ould we b uild r ig h t no w versus in a f ew years?

For a large multi-acre site, master planning helps determine how to move forward with a site for both immediate and future needs. Whether looking at creating multiple individual buildings or a single complex, a comprehensive plan provides flexibility for the site to respond to the market demands in the future – not trapping it into one specific design or layout. The master plan is a critical component to identifying the utility needs of the site. This process helps confirm pathways are worked out for future phases and not limited to the scope of the first build-out. Following a master plan often saves on overall costs and creates efficiencies in the long term relative to site layout, function and utility integration.

W h o pa y s for th e new inf rastruc ture?

From utility infrastructure accessibility to adjacent roads, sidewalks and hardscape, many times public improvements are not initially thought about relative to new developments. During public conversations, it is critical to navigate these conversations to clearly identify an equitable breakdown of which party will carry the cost-share burden for these site improvements. Local jurisdictions often want the cost carried by the development, but considerations for site specific needs vs. broader uses is crucial.

Our team understands the nuances of navigating this process and can assist the developer and owner through conversation with local jurisdictions and utility providers.

Does t h e property need to be rez o ned?

Whether the property was originally a golf course, farmland, or another land use, navigating the rezoning and reclassification process can be a headache. To alleviate the stress of this transition, the most important aspect of land use changes relates to securing streamlined public approvals. Positioning the land around the value of its placement in the community, such as the number of jobs it will create, the increase in public utility resources, or the addition of new streets, can help if placed at the forefront of public engagement, especially those directly adjacent to the existing site. Additionally, offering amenity integration into the new development can provide significant value in getting stronger community buy-in, such as including publicly accessible site amenities or integrating adjacent trail access.
