Maple Reinders initiated the project for Congebec Inc.’s  freezer building expansion by preparing a Storm Water Management Report (SWMR) and preliminary design services.

At the request of Congebec, Maple engaged Consulting design firms to design a new SWMR for the existing facility and expansion on the basis that the current storm water evaporative would be infilled and the storm water would need to be routed to the City of Calgary collection system. The design of the facility expansion needed to be at 60% completion in order to submit the SWMR and Deep Site Servicing Plan (DSSP) and have it approved by the City of Calgary.

As a result of the new SWMR, additional scope of work was added to the Design-Build contract for the expansion. Maple advised Congebec that this additional work (underground storm system) should be installed prior to erecting the building if the future plan for the site is to infill the storm water evaporative pond and sell-off that portion of the land.

The subsequent Design-Build contract includes a freezer, swing freezer, cold dock (including MHE charging area), mechanical/electrical with tie-ins to the existing building and staff mezzanine area. The building height in the freezer accommodates 40 ft product height plus 10 inches for product lift off.
