Turnkey Temperature Controlled Solutions in the Pharmaceutical Industry – Part Two
For the last six weeks the MTCSS team have been transforming an empty 153,900m3 warehouse into a chilled area and an ambient area for the storage of pharmaceutical products.
As the main contractor on the project, MTCSS have been overseeing every element of the project’s installation – from the insulated panels to the ambient bespoke ductwork systems – to ensure the project is complete within project deadlines and to strict health and safety guidelines.

Building the chiller & ambient areas : what has the MTCSS team done so far?
In the past 6 weeks, MTCSS have been working consistently on site to install the 29101m³ chiller cold room panels with suspended ceiling and the 14m partition – both built from 150mm Kingspan IPN Quadcore panels to form the warehouse’s chilled area and ambient temperature controlled area.
The hinged doors have been fitted in the chiller cold room, with 5no MTH insulated doors for pedestrian access in and out of the cold room. MTCSS have also cut door openings in the panel ready for the next stage of door installation in the next few weeks.
With the chiller and ambient areas formed, they will need to be temperature controlled – the refrigeration pipework has been fitted ready for the installation of the evaporators to chill the cold room, and the ductwork installation is currently in progress for the ambient system. MTCSS have also been tasked with the temperature control of the offices and the team has installed air conditioning in the downstairs office spaces.
What is left to do on site?
With just a few weeks until completion, MTCSS is on track to complete the project within the strict deadlines. So what is left for the MTCSS team to finish on site?
The remotely operated high speed doors will be installed, with 2no rapid roll doors fitted in the chiller cold room and 1no door fitted in the partition wall for forklift and VNA truck access/egress
Then we have the temperature control for the warehouse’s two separate areas – the ambient system and ductwork fitting will be completed, and the commissioning of the ambient temperature control, chiller refrigeration and office air conditioning signed off prior to the project’s deadline.
The 153,900m3 warehouse has undergone a huge transformation in the past six weeks, with MTCSS organising and managing every element of the project and its installation. When the project was deadline was moved forward, MTCSS were able to successfully deliver a solution to work with the client to achieve this.

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)’

Cold Room Refurbishment at Steve’s Family Butchers
Steves Family Butchers now has a fantastic refurbished cold room, which actually looks like a whole new cold room thanks to MTcss cold storage solutions. We found they responded in a very quick and helpful manner which meant that they communicated well with us and kept us informed well. The refurbishment was completed to a very high standard in a professional manner. We are exceptionally pleased with the service that we received.
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!
