SuKarne Beef Processing complex, Expansion/Construction, Durango, Mexico
This new 75,000 sq. ft. beef processing facility and 10,000 sq. ft. corporate headquarters are composed of site-cast concrete tilt-up panels. The main production area for beef fabrication is lined with 4″ insulated liner panels, creating a sanitary, washable cooler box. The ceiling in the fabrication area is a 5″ double-skinned insulated liner panel suspended from the structure above, creating a 10′ interstitial space for all mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration utilities. A 400′ cooling tunnel connects the new production area to the existing slaughter facility. This refrigerated area is insulated within the concrete panels using the “thermo-mass” or “sandwich” panel system. All production area floors are polyester coated and sloped to precast polyester trench drains or 1100r drains for easy clean-up. Both ammonia and glycol refrigeration systems are used within the building – ammonia in areas of low occupancy such as the cooling tunnel and shipping/palletizing areas; glycol in the main production area due to high occupancy levels. Daily washdown and sterilization requirements are facilitated by 140 – J 80-degree water systems supplied throughout the building. New fabrication equipment was installed prior to plant startup, and existing equipment was moved to the new plant in a four-day shutdown.
NW Gourmet Freezer Addition, Renton, WA

DFA Shuttle Yard, Clovis, New Mexico
The DFA Shuttle Yard consisted of a large 15-acre truck parking area of an 18-acre overall site, the main building with five truck bays for milk sampling and CIP of milk tanks for sanitization, and a separate semi-truck wash facility. The parking area was 15 acres of roller-compacted concrete with a lane and numbering system for easy truck location identification. The main building included built-out office space, a dispatch room, an onsite milk testing lab facility, and five epoxy-coated truck bays with a platform system to allow access to the top of tankers. A high-pressure chloride injection CIP system for sanitation of tankers controlled by HMIs was also a main feature of the facility. Construction included a PH neutralized wastewater system, food-grade piping, interior tenant improvement of office spaces and restrooms, package boilers, large air compressor, air distribution, and water a softener system.
