COLD PLANT AND FACILITY DESIGN experienced partners, proven performers
Decisions related to refrigeration and associated systems design have continued to get more complex. Requirements around food production refrigeration vary greatly from product to product, as well as the form in which the product is to be refrigerated or frozen: in pieces (IQF), in cases or entire pallets. Complex, changing environments can make it difficult for owners to evaluate all options, which is vitally important as decisions made during planning, design and selection can impact the construction and ongoing operations of a production plant.
The Austin Company partners with project owners to work through these complexities and challenges. Our team’s experience designing and building facilities with refrigeration and process piping spans a wide range of food, beverage, process industries, pharmaceutical, cold storage and distribution center operations.
Proven performance across a multitude of project types provides a comprehensive perspective on the design, construction and operation of these facilities, as well as integration of refrigeration and support systems within plant operations. We are designers, engineers and constructors. In addition, our team often includes consultants from backgrounds that go beyond typical construction contractor roles, including: plant engineers, plant managers, food manufacturing quality managers, production operations managers, global ammonia system standards coordinators and specialty consultants. We bring innovative solutions to project and plant owners, considering not only design time, but also construction and installation costs and lifecycle operating costs. Together, we implement the right solution for your project—planned and done right the first time.
