FOR OUR CLIENT BIEZE FOOD GROUP, WE WERE ALLOWED TO ADVISE ON YET ANOTHER PHASE 3 OF THE EXPANSION OF THEIR REFRIGERATION AND FREEZER LOGISTICS IN NIJKERK. AN ASSIGNMENT WHERE WE CAN PUT OUR SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE TO FULL USE, AS THE CONSTRUCTION FOR A FREEZER HALL IS SPECIAL.
The floor of a cold store is always constructed as a double floor, with heating in the lower foundation to prevent freezing through. This is followed by a thick layer of insulation and a top floor on which heavy racking can be placed. This latter floor shrinks as soon as the freezing machines (condensers) are switched on. At -25 degrees, the floor shortens by as much as several centimeters.
SPECIALISM
Pelecon specializes in refrigerated and frozen logistics. The Bieze Food Group is a loyal customer of Pelecon who likes to make use of this specialist knowledge. Once completed, their optimally developed logistics hotspot enables them to safely store, process and then transport their food in chilled condition.
For this assignment, we worked together with van Bokhorst Architects and contractor Dijkham Bouw; both from Nijkerk.
