Cold Room and Ambient Area for Pharmaceutical Unit

Chiller Cold Room and Temperature Controlled Ambient Area

When you need a solution that offers chilled storage for pharmaceutical products and a cold room with floor space of 394m² – who do you contact? MT Cold Storage Solutions.

Storing pharmaceuticals at the correct temperature is vital to ensure the products are protected. This is where MTCSS can help. Specialising in temperature controlled installations, we offer options for small and large projects that enable your critical temperatures to be maintained. Thus ensuring that your products are not only protected from external influences but also stored according to guidelines and standards.

The Brief

One of our customers, based in the North of England, required a solution to hold pharmaceutical products at a temperature range between 15 to 20 degrees. As part of the brief we were tasked with offering temperature and lighting options to achieve the best energy efficiency and longevity possible.

Faced with the challenge of a tight delivery schedule and fast approaching deadline, the MTCSS team had just 5 weeks, from order placement to project completion and handover, to build the 400m² rooms.

The Plan

MTCSS supplied and installed a dual compartment room, consisting of a chilled holding room and an ambient holding room with the required temperature range and forklift access. Once the project had commenced, the team built the dual compartment cold room – a 102m² chilled room with adjoining ambient room at 292m². All the panels used in building the cold rooms were the new hybrid quad core solution offered by Kingspan, all half-hour fire rated and LPCB approved.

The Solution

The door package consisted of: 2 large sliding doors to allow for forklift access, a chilled hinged door for access between the rooms and a 1 hour Robust fire door, leading out to the fire corridor. Cold rooms need a cooling solution. Our ambient solution was achieved using air conditioning ceiling cassettes to reach the desired temperature of 15 to 20 degrees ensuring all products are stored safely and correctly. As a prerequisite from our customer, MTCSS needed to supply 100% back-up for the chiller’s refrigeration unit.

This meant that if one unit were to fail, the other unit would instantly kick in – avoiding millions of pounds worth of loss in products due to the temperature change.

In order to sustain the best energy efficiency in the rooms, they were fitted with state of the art low energy PIR lighting solutions. We also installed emergency lighting and all lighting included switching via microwave sensor as per the client’s request.

MTCSS took on the task of building the dual compartment room with full temperature and lighting solutions wired in and commissioned in just five weeks. The build was successfully completed on time, with days to spare and signed off by our satisfied customer.

Bert De Mooij, Bespoke Chiller Cold Room for Q Flowers Ltd 2021

From coming into contact with MTCSS to the finished product, has been a great and easy process.

The members of the team listened to our wishes and offered us exactly what we needed. From picking the type of cooler machines, the doors, the lights - everything was exactly adjusted to our wishes.

Even though through the COVID period where availability of materials were challenging, the cold room was finished on the date as was planned when signing for the order.

Very professional company from start to finish.

Catherine Hester Fenwick, Ambient storage at Brabourne Wines 2021

‘Brabourne Wine is a small, family run vineyard in Kent. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Conservation Area and with listed buildings, we needed to find a solution to store our wine without building afresh or making any material differences to the current buildings. MTCSS were amazingly flexible. They worked with us to develop a solution that fitted inside one of our outbuildings. Given the limitations on space and the requirement to have racking suitable for pallets, virtually everything about the project had to be bespoke but Darren never lost patience with the endless queries in the planning phase. Once on site, the team was professional, friendly, flexible and quick. They have delivered a solution which is perfect for our needs and exceeds our expectations. We are at the smaller end of their usual customer base, but we were never made to feel as though we were any less important than a major supermarket chain. We would certainly recommend them to anybody needing a controlled climate for storage (or any other reason)’

Dual Compartment Cold Room Installation, London

From the beginning I found Gem’s customer service fantastic, out of all of the companies we spoke to for quotes she was the most responsive and attentive. Even when we were still finalising and it wasn’t confirmed if we were proceeding with MTCSS yet, she was always great with keeping in contact to see if we needed anything, and very responsive with emails, and also phone calls.

Andy and Nathan, have been great throughout the entire process. Both have been on hand for any queries we have had and very responsive again to all forms of communication. Everything has been handled promptly and efficiently both before, during and after the build. Any questions we have had they have always gotten back to us with an answer very quickly.

The gentlemen who completed the install here on site, where very friendly and mindful of business operations while completing work. Each day they would check in with who was here in the morning to explain what they would be doing, what access they required, and asked if and how this might affect our operations or customers. Again, they were very clear and open with communication and was happy to help find solutions when we had issues with the shelving.

Overall our experience with you has been very good and we have been left a happy customer. I would also just like to say a thank you to yourself Gem, Nathan and Andy as you have all been very great throughout our customer journey!
