HIGH HAZARD BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY IN APOPKA, FL
Designed and Built for BlueScope Properties Group, the Coca-Cola warehouse is a 290,000 total square foot high hazard beverage distribution facility.
This 290,000 SF H3 distribution facility is specifically engineered to accommodate high-hazard storage, adhering to rigorous safety and environmental standards. The design includes a substantial 127,000 SF cooler maintained at 40°F, ideal for perishable goods, and a 94,000 SF freezer set at 0°F, providing optimal conditions for frozen products. In addition to these specialized storage areas, the facility features a 2,000 SF office space designed to support administrative operations and staff needs.
Constructed with a 36’ clear height, the facility allows for efficient vertical storage and movement of goods, maximizing usable space. The 4,000-amp electrical service is robust enough to power advanced material handling systems, lighting, and refrigeration equipment, ensuring smooth operational processes throughout the facility. The tilt-up concrete construction provides not only durability and structural integrity but also enhanced insulation properties, making it energy-efficient.
The distribution facility is equipped with 15 dock positions and one drive-in ramp, facilitating efficient loading and unloading of goods. The roofing system consists of a 60-mil mechanically attached TPO membrane, which offers excellent durability and weather resistance while contributing to overall energy savings.
This H3 distribution facility is built to meet the demands of high-hazard storage while providing operational efficiency and safety. With its specialized temperature-controlled environments, ample electrical capacity, and strategic loading capabilities, the facility is poised to support a wide range of distribution needs in a compliant and efficient manner.
