38-Meter Ultra-High Automated Cold Storage | Steel Structure Project Case

This project is a 38-meter ultra-high fully automated cold storage, a benchmark intelligent cold chain logistics facility tailored for modern large-scale refrigerated storage and automated sorting operations. Covering a floor area of 7,705 square meters with a total steel consumption of 1,128 tons, the project adopts a professional customized steel structure system, perfectly adapting to the ultra-high building specification and the strict environmental requirements of cold storage. It integrates structural stability, energy-saving insulation, and mechanical automation compatibility, delivering a high-efficiency, durable, and low-operation-cost cold storage solution for global cold chain enterprises.

• Building Type: Ultra-High Automated Intelligent Cold Storage
• Building Height: 38 Meters
• Total Floor Area: 7705 ㎡
• Total Steel Consumption: 1128 Tons
• Structural Form: Heavy-duty prefabricated steel frame structure
• Application Scenario: Large-scale frozen food storage, constant-temperature logistics, automated warehousing and distribution

Aiming at the 38-meter ultra-high vertical space, we adopt optimized heavy-duty steel frame and reinforced bracing system. All main steel components are made of high-strength structural steel, processed via CNC precision cutting, automatic welding and hot-dip galvanizing anti-corrosion treatment. The overall structure features strong wind resistance, seismic resistance and heavy-load bearing capacity, effectively solving the structural stability challenges of ultra-high cold storage buildings. It avoids structural deformation and safety hazards caused by long-term low-temperature operation, fully adapting to the harsh constant low-temperature working environment of cold storage.

Different from traditional low-rise cold storage, this 38-meter ultra-high design realizes three-dimensional intensive storage, greatly increasing unit-area storage capacity. The customized steel structure adopts large clear-span layout with fewer internal columns, completely matching the installation and operation requirements of automated stacker cranes, conveyor lines and intelligent warehousing systems. It provides unobstructed vertical and horizontal operating space for fully automated incoming, outgoing and inventory management, maximizing the operational efficiency of intelligent cold chain equipment.

The steel structure system is perfectly compatible with high-performance PIR/PU insulated sandwich panels. The precise assembly of steel frames realizes airtight and vapor-tight overall sealing of the building, effectively blocking external heat transfer and preventing cold air leakage. Compared with concrete structures, our steel structure cold storage has better overall thermal insulation performance, stable internal temperature control, and significantly reduces long-term refrigeration energy consumption. Meanwhile, the steel structure’s moisture-proof, mildew-proof and corrosion-resistant properties avoid structural damage and insulation failure caused by high humidity and low temperature in cold storage, extending the building’s service life.

All steel components are prefabricated and standardized processed in the factory, with on-site bolted assembly construction, which greatly shortens the project construction cycle compared with traditional buildings. The lightweight steel structure reduces foundation engineering costs, and the standardized production lowers material loss. With 1128 tons of refined steel materials, the project achieves the optimal balance of structural strength, building height and economic cost. In addition, steel materials are 100% recyclable, conforming to green and low-carbon building standards, bringing better long-term return on investment for clients.

After completion and operation, this 38-meter ultra-high automated steel structure cold storage has become a local high-standard intelligent cold chain hub. The ultra-high three-dimensional storage mode greatly saves land occupation and improves storage density; the fully compatible steel structure layout ensures the stable and efficient operation of automated warehousing equipment, reducing manual operation costs. The excellent structural stability and energy-saving insulation performance cut daily operation and maintenance costs significantly, providing a reliable, efficient and sustainable cold chain storage solution for food freezing, fresh-keeping logistics, pharmaceutical cold storage and other industries.
