350,000 sf

An expansive 354,000 sf cooler and freezer distribution complex in Martin County, FL, comprising of two buildings features 45 dock positions, storage capacity for up to 33,056 pallets, and 8,766 sf of finished office space, this project stands as a leader of efficiency and innovation.

Spanning across 11 acres, the development encompasses a comprehensive infrastructure, planned for optimal functionality. From the network of sanitary and storm sewers to the integration of primary electric and water systems, every detail has been carefully considered. The installation of a shrinkage-compensating concrete slab adds to the project's durability and longevity. The facility features state-of-the-art refrigeration systems, incorporating advanced ammonia and freon technologies.

Self Perform: Our self-perform team provided the installation of insulated metal panels, ensuring superior thermal efficiency and structural integrity throughout the complex.

Partnering with OSHA

United Insulated Structures has partnered with OSHA and the University of South Florida On-Site Consultation Program on an agreement that seeks to strengthen safety culture with subcontractors through mentorship and training in safety and health management systems. "Safety on our construction sites is more than a goal or a priority, it's a commitment to engage and protect every individual who works on our projects," said Shaun Rainey, Vice President of Safety. "Through our OSHA partnership and the engagement of our subcontractor partners, we build a safety culture that ensures every worker goes home injury-free, every day." The partnership agreement was signed on October 30th and will last until the completion of this project or for three years.
