PROJECT OVERVIEW

High-Performance Structural Engineering

A state-of-the-art temperature-controlled pharmaceutical distribution facility operating multiple climate zones (+2°C to +8°C cold rooms and -25°C deep freeze vaults) with complete thermal-break structural detailing.

The Requirement

Complete elimination of thermal bridging through steel structural members, airtight vapour barrier seals, and high thermal resistance (U-value < 0.18 W/m²K) to meet strict WHO-GMP and US-FDA cold chain guidelines.

Engineering Challenge

Suspending heavy overhead refrigeration evaporator units (each weighing 3.5 tonnes) from roof trusses without causing localized thermal shorts or excessive roof deflection under concentrated equipment loads.

OUR SOLUTION

Engineered Structural Steel Strategy

Yatee designed an external PEB structural skeleton with polyamide thermal-break isolation blocks at all ceiling panel suspension points. 100mm and 150mm continuous injected PIR sandwich panels were installed with tongue-and-groove cam locks and vapour seals.

Design Details

  • Thermal modeling verifying zero condensation under 90% outdoor relative humidity
  • Under-floor foundation sub-ventilation airflow pipes preventing sub-slab frost heave
  • Integrated airtight dock shelters and rapid roll-up insulated sectional doors

Fabrication

  • Galvanized secondary purlins with Z275 gsm coating for superior moisture resistance
  • PIR insulated sandwich panels produced on continuous automated press line
  • Hygienic antimicrobial food-grade coating on internal steel surfaces

Erection

  • Hermetic pressure testing verifying envelope air tightness exceeding ASHRAE standards
  • Turnkey civil-to-cladding execution completed in 14 weeks
  • Seamless integration with industrial refrigeration plant contractors

Yatee delivered an airtight, thermally isolated facility that has cut our refrigeration compressor electricity load by 32% compared to our older facility.
