Twin −20°C cold-room concept and delivery plan

AfriTech developed a decision-ready concept for two industrial cold rooms, covering the insulated cold box, refrigeration plant, electrical infrastructure, logistics, rigging, programme and cost planning.

A clear operating need.

The proposed facility required two large low-temperature rooms in Lubumbashi with a 6 m clear height and a −20°C operating target.

The client needed to compare an undeveloped-site option with conversion of an existing warehouse and truck-depot facility.

Scope coordinated around the system.

AfriTech structured the project into cold-box, refrigeration-plant, electrical, logistics, rigging and programme work packages.

Equipment options, site questions and cost drivers were developed to support a client decision before detailed design and procurement.

Technical clarity and accountable delivery.

The study converted a high-level requirement into a staged, reviewable delivery concept with defined technical decisions.

This is design-stage engineering and is not presented as a completed installation.

Work included.

  • Concept and equipment specification
  • Plant and electrical work packages
  • Logistics, rigging and cost planning
