Almaty Cold Storage Facility – Kazakhstan
1. Project Overview
This large-scale cold storage facility, located in Almaty, Kazakhstan, was designed and constructed to accommodate a total storage capacity of 15,500 tons (equivalent to 58,000 m³).
Despite the project’s scale, it was successfully completed within a tight 60-day schedule, demonstrating exceptional coordination, planning, and supply chain efficiency.
The facility incorporates multi-temperature storage zones equipped with advanced Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology, ensuring long-term preservation of both fresh produce and frozen products under optimal conditions.
2. Core Requirements
