New plant design can be quite a bear. Site selection, layout, structural systems, construction materials, timelines and more all play into successfully building a cold storage facility. Refrigerated & Frozen Foods interviewed several architectural, engineering, construction and design-build firms to find out how increased regulatory changes impact the way facilities are designed, how Greenfield construction is LEEDing the way and what today’s cold storage construction industry can do to prepare for tomorrow’s natural disasters.

Increased regulatory changes in food safety and security continue to keep the cold food industry on its toes. Whether it’s a new law, revised law or merely a suggestion, such changes can pose a great impact on the way facilities are designed, constructed and/or revamped.
