This is the first system of its kind in Texas.

KDW constructed a 46,076-square-foot cold storage facility with -10°F storage for over 5,600 pallet positions, utilizing high-pile racking on an insulated slab protected by a Quell Fire Sprinkler system. The facility includes a three-story office, featuring a mechanical room optimized for a low-charge ammonia/CO2 refrigeration system, which is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional systems. To meet flood management requirements, part of the office foundation is elevated on a structural slab. The site also includes 80,922 square feet of paving for parking and refrigerated truck access.

Texas Frio Cold Storage is designed to provide highly efficient, temperature-controlled freezer storage for Houston-area food service and restaurant operators, with high-pile racks capable of storing 287 truckloads of product.
