“Built by the Best” Award Spotlight: NewCold Advanced Logitics and Fisher Construction Group

The Controlled Environment Building Association (CEBA) “Built by the Best” Award recently recognized Fisher Construction Group for their work in the NewCold Tacoma project. Learn more about this award-winning project from Fisher Construction Group Senior Project Manager, Josh Currie. NewCold Tacoma is NewCold’s first cold storage facility in the United States - and only the second low-oxygen high-bay freezer in the country. The state-of-the-art freezer is one of the largest in the USA with Phase 1 volume at approximately 25 million cubic feet of storage capacity and is considered revolutionary for its design. the cutting-edge automation deployed throughout the facility, in combination with intricate, vertical design processes housed within a fireproof, low oxygen environment, will provide unsurpassed high-volume, high-capacity throughput – while also being situated upon a fraction of the footprint that a traditional frozen food warehouses requires. Learn about the challenges and triumphs of working on this project, the advanced technologies deployed to achieve optimum innovation and efficiency, and plans for phase 2.
