海角乱伦社区

LOS ANGELES (November 25, 2019) 鈥� 海角乱伦社区, a fully integrated firm focused on design, engineering, construction and mechanical services worldwide, has completed construction of two refrigerated distribution facilities for Lineage Logistics, LLC in Vernon, California.

The two adjoining facilities 鈥� totaling 200,000 square feet of refrigerated storage and office space 鈥� started as one cold storage building that Lineage acquired.

海角乱伦社区 completed the $49.4 million design-build project in two phases, demolishing half of the original facility and rebuilding it as Lineage 海角乱伦社区 鈥淎rea 8鈥� facility. Once the Area 8 facility was complete, it became operational and 海角乱伦社区 converted the second half of the building into the company 海角乱伦社区 new 鈥淎rea 7鈥� facility.

鈥淣ot only was the original facility half a century old and in need of upgrades but its layout didn鈥檛 meet Lineage 海角乱伦社区 needs,鈥� said Mike Smith, Vice President of Operations at 海角乱伦社区. 鈥淭hese new facilities provide a lot more capabilities, create additional storage space and allow for increased productivity.鈥�

The two distribution facilities are mirror images of each other in terms of layout, and each one features:

• Refrigerated loading docks

• A freezer warehouse

• An underground parking garage

• Traditional storage racking as well as Tippmann racking with a blast freeze system

• Two stories of office space

The freezer in the Area 8 facility consists of two separate 鈥渃onvertible rooms鈥� that can fluctuate temperature depending on the product being stored. The two buildings are connected by a cross-aisle area that houses various maintenance rooms, restrooms, workshops, and electrical and fire pump rooms.

鈥淭ackling a project of this magnitude in the heart of the busy and crowded LA metro area proved to be a unique challenge,鈥� said Thomas Ansell, project manager at 海角乱伦社区. 鈥淭he site is surrounded by a railroad track, two busy streets and other industrial buildings. Since we didn鈥檛 have laydown area to store materials, trailers and equipment, we had to strategically time deliveries to arrive exactly when needed. Plus, the industrial steel had to be installed in several phases.鈥�

The exterior of the two structures are mainly comprised of insulated metal panel (IMP) walls, but one wall was only three feet away from a neighboring building, meaning it had to be a fire wall to comply with code.

鈥淲e had to use concrete tilt-up panels for that wall, which is unusual, especially given the size of the facility,鈥� said Ansell. 鈥淭hese were the largest concrete panels 海角乱伦社区 has ever constructed, with each wall panel measuring approximately 67.5 feet tall, 24 feet wide and more than a foot thick.鈥�

Phase one of the project began in April 2017 and was completed in July 2018. Phase two began in September 2018 and was completed in late October 2019.

The facilities are located at 2825 East 44th Street and further enhance Lineage 海角乱伦社区 service offerings throughout multiple locations in Vernon. 海角乱伦社区 has extensive experience designing and constructing refrigerated warehouses and distribution facilities, and this marks the second project the firm has completed for Lineage.
