This project involves the renovation and addition to an existing building on the Goldbar site. Our team provided the structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering services for this significant renovation project. The project includes the addition of a control room, converting existing offices and support spaces into change rooms, new office spaces, and classroom areas. Additionally, sprinklers will be added to the entire building.

Our mechanical team designed the new HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing systems, service upgrade, and BMS for the building. To ensure the new systems will support the building operations our team conducted a thorough analysis of the existing system for capacity to ensure it’s ability to handle the increased loads. The new mechanical systems are designed to tie into the existing infrastructure including the existing sanitary and storm sewer, HVAC systems, and the addition of new water service to the building. KD Mechanical’s scope also included:

• A new controls system for the building to connect to the existing site wide controls system.
• A new HVAC unit to serve the control room which operates 24/7.
• New water heaters.

KM Civil’s scope included the following:

• Review of existing utilities alignments onsite and offsite.
• Review of stormwater Management requirements and overland drainage for the development.
• Integrate and accommodate new building into the existing infrastructure.

Krahn Group provided design services for this process grading facility for Golden Valley Foods Ltd. Located in the Mt. Lehman area, this facility contains office, processing and warehouse storage areas.

Klondike Cold Storage engaged the Krahn Group of Companies to provide design services to expand their cold storage operations required to support their processing businesses.

The exterior design was driven from the owner wanting the building to emulate an ice cube and be a reflectance of the operational interior.

Subzero Cold Logistics is the first integrally insulated tilt-up freezer building in Western Canada. The 42,066 sq.ft. building is an insulated concrete tilt-up freezer storage facility that is designed to maintain temperatures at -25 degree Celsius (-4 degree Fahrenheit) to store frozen foods. The entire warehouse has been equipped with state-of-the-art racking systems to ensure the entire space can be utilized. The building also boasts a wide range of additional structural, thermal, moisture, and maintenance benefits associated with the use of insulated tilt-up construction.

This building won the Tilt-Up Achievement Award in 2019.

Cloverdale Cold Storage engaged Krahn Group to provide consulting and design
services for several facilities.

Cloverdale Cold Storage III, located at the entry to Campbell Heights Business
Park, is designed to be a gateway building into the business park.

Working with City of Surrey and Cloverdale Cold Storage, the resulting building
is a project that everyone involved in the project is extremely proud of.

KL Tech and Krahn Engineering were hired by Hallmark Poultry to design their new cold storage facility in Vancouver, BC. The building was constructed out of concrete tilt-up panels with open web steel joist roof and floor systems with concrete suspended slab over underground parking.
