One Contractor for the Temperature Controlled Hall

A cold chain solution is more than a condensing unit. Procurement teams buying temperature controlled solutions need a multi-zone envelope, dock doors, racking-compatible clear height, a plant room that survives the local ambient, and a PLC that the warehouse management system can trust. Howcool is a turn-key EPC contractor for that scope — 15+ years, 500+ projects, 200+ specialised staff, 24+ countries, since 2009.

The live solutions page frames six stages: construction designing, cost budgeting, material and equipment purchasing, constructing and installing, maintenance and service, and the project starting process. Brands listed for plant purchasing include Bitzer, Emerson, Refcomp, Frascold and Hanbell. Core components carry a 5-year warranty; export projects have 24/7 remote support.

We distinguish completed halls from feasibility studies. Iraq (Basra), Jeddah and Oman pages are labelled feasibility-stage on the live site. Jamaica is a completed food-factory store. Wuhan Xinpu and the 49,500 m³ food hall are completed China logistics/food references.

Who This Solution Is For

  • Port and inland 3PL operators adding public freezer/chiller capacity.
  • Fruit and meat distributors who need multi-temperature halls with blast inbound.
  • EPC firms needing a refrigeration nominator with CIF shipping and site supervision.
  • Owners comparing a phased 20,000–50,000 m³ programme against a single-room modular kit.

Cold Chain Procurement Questions

What does Howcool actually deliver on a logistics centre?
EPC: construction design, cost budgeting, equipment purchasing, installation and maintenance. The building is panels, plant, doors and a PLC. Wuhan Xinpu is the flagship published hall — 50,000 m³, two stages, 2023, fruit and meat distribution, PLC watching 400+ sensors.
Which international jobs are completed versus feasibility?
Completed examples on the live site include Jamaica food-factory storage (2023, marine-spec, tropical derating) and Kazakhstan work (500 t CA plus a homepage 20,000-ton logistics listing). Iraq Basra 5,000 t / 8,000 m², Jeddah Port Feasibility Study and Oman Feasibility Study are published as feasibility-stage EPC designs/proposals — not as handed-over stores. We keep that label.
Can one site mix freezer, chiller and pharma rooms?
Yes. Multi-zone is the normal logistics pattern. Wuhan Stage II added 0 to +4℃ fruit storage plus a blast tunnel; Tianjin Port 5,000 t splits deep-freeze and chill; the Iraq and Jeddah feasibility briefs both include freezer, chiller and a dedicated pharmaceutical room.
What is the design-to-ship timeline?
Preliminary design within 24 hours of a complete brief; technical drawings and itemised quotation within 3–5 days; factory production 20–30 days. Large halls are phased — Wuhan Stage I 90 days / Stage II 50 days on the project record.
Which compressor brands appear on logistics plants?
Solutions purchasing copy lists Bitzer, Emerson, Refcomp, Frascold and Hanbell. Electrical cabinets use Siemens PLC, Schneider contactors and CHINT breakers. Brand selection is confirmed on the compressor schedule for each job.
