Ecuador Cold Storage

Leveraging its extensive experience and expertise in large-scale industrial storage facilities, Canglong Group successfully implemented a high-performance integrated cold storage solution for a client in Ecuador. The project utilizes a high-strength steel structure, ensuring a stable and reliable building with excellent earthquake resistance and durability. High-quality polyurethane sandwich panels, combined with superior insulation, moisture resistance, and sealing, significantly improve the cold storage’s energy efficiency and temperature stability.

Canglong Group provides one-stop services from structural design and material manufacturing to construction supervision, fully demonstrating its international project coordination capabilities and industry chain integration strengths. This solution met the Ecuadorian client’s core needs for energy conservation and consumption reduction, as well as long-term operational cost control, further solidifying its leading position in the global cold chain construction sector.

What changes above 1,000 m²

At 1,578 m², this cold store is in the band where the engineering questions stop being about insulation thickness and start being about the building. Air has to be moved across a tall, long room rather than cooled at one point. The doors become a real refrigeration load once forklifts are moving through them all day. The slab has to be detailed for racking point loads and, in frozen zones, for frost. And on a site like this one, the frame has to carry a seismic case as well as the envelope. Those four decisions, and the size bands they belong to, are set out on our large cold room design bands page.

The energy side of the same problem is covered on the refrigerated warehouse page, where panel and temperature-zone parameters are listed by storage class.
