ISD Solutions completes new coldstore facility for Kuehne + Nagel in rapid time
C
oldstore and composite panel specialist ISD Solutions continues its close relationship with lead contractor JJL Design and Build with the completion of a second coldstore facility for Kuehne + Nagel, a leading logistics provider in the UK market.
Designed to provide additional capacity at Kuehne + Nagel’s Greenford site in north west London, the £635,000 contract involved the construction of a new coldstore building providing 3,860sqm of fl oor space, operating at a temperature of -25°C.
Under the contract, ISD Solutions was responsible for the design and installation of the coldstore box and associated areas. These included loading docks together with a cage storage area and a battery re-charge space for forklift trucks.
In total, some 7,400sqm of Kingspan KS1100CS panels were specifi ed and installed to form the coldstore, together with 3,860sqm of fl oor insulation. Union Industries Eiger coldstore traffi c doors were also procured and installed as part of ISD’s package.
Nine bespoke coldstore specifi cation personnel doors, viewing windows and all associated thresholds, plus powder-coated galvanised

trims used for the installation were designed and manufactured at ISD Solutions’ modern manufacturing facility in Gloucester. With a tight construction programme, speed was a key factor for the installation team. ISD was able to complete the main installation inside a fi ve week period, allowing the concrete fl oor to be poured a week before the Christmas 2016 shutdown, so that it could cure over the holiday period. This enabled lead contractor JJL Design and Build to complete and handover the new fully operational coldstore ahead of plan. Richard Bowden, director of cold stores and special projects commented: “Meeting the tight construction schedule for this complex four month coldstore construction project was a prerequisite requirement. The combination of our strong supplier relationships together with in-house design and manufacturing ensured we could deliver on time and in budget. We are delighted to be continuing our relationship with JJL Design and Build and leading logistics companies like Kuehne + Nagel.” Handed over to Kuehne + Nagel earlier this year, the project at Greenford followed a similar coldstore installation project undertaken for the logistics company in Reading, Berkshire.
