Midwestern cold storage facility receives a solution to frost heave
A 200,000-square-foot cold storage facility located in the Midwest was experiencing significant frost heave due to 20 feet of frozen ground. When common solutions have involved facility shut-down to replace and repair the flooring system, Net Zero Alliance (NZA), West Des Moines, Iowa, knew there was a better way.
A first-of-its-kind solution About 2,000,000 BTUH of wasted heat from the facility's ammonia system is piped through horizontal geothermal bores underneath the facility.
