Comprehensive Engineering Capabilities of Cold Storage
1. High-Performance Thermal Insulation & MEP Integration
The integrity of a cold store relies on its thermal envelope. BPS utilizes high-grade PU/PIR insulated sandwich panels and specialized flooring solutions to ensure the performance.
- Eliminating Cold Bridges: Our construction methodologies focus on seamless joints and thermal breaks to prevent condensation and structural damage.
- Advanced Refrigeration Systems: We integrate energy-efficient cooling units with heat recovery capabilities, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of your operations.
2. Cold-Chain Automation & Robotics
To combat labor shortages and extreme working conditions, BPS implements specialized automation for sub-zero environments:
- Cold Storage ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems): High-density racking systems that maximize vertical space.
- Cold-Resistant AMR/AGV: Robots equipped with advanced battery and sensors, capable of operating flawlessly in -25°C conditions.
- Smart Conveying & Sorting: Streamlined material flow that minimizes product exposure to ambient temperatures.
3. Regulatory Compliance & Licensing Consultancy
Navigating the regulatory landscape is essential for food and pharmaceutical players. Our dedicated consulting team assists with:
- Cold Store Licensing: Comprehensive support for FEHD applications and statutory approvals.
- GDP Standards: Designing facilities that meet the rigorous temperature mapping and validation requirements for pharmaceutical products.
Case Study: DSV 180,000 sq. ft. Multi-Temperature Logistics Centre
Our capability to deliver massive, complex projects under tight deadlines is unparalleled. In 2024, BPS Global successfully completed the design and build of the temperature-controlled warehousing for DSV’s 180,000 sq. ft. Fanling Logistics Centre. This is the largest facility of its kind completed in Hong Kong during that period.
-
Comprehensive Cold Chain Design: The facility features seamless multi-temperature zones, including ambient storage, chilled warehousing, and an ultra-low -18°C deep-freeze cold store, drastically enhancing DSV’s food handling and manufacturing capabilities.
-
Non-Break Cold Chain: We engineered a state of the art temperature controlled lobby equipped with inflatable dock shelters, ensuring goods are loaded and unloaded in a near-hermetic environment to maintain strict temperature integrity.
-
Statutory Compliance & Speed: Delivered in just 6 months, the facility successfully obtained both the Cold Store License and Food Factory License from the government, cementing BPS Global's leadership in the engineering sector.
Landmark Project: Kwai Chung Grade-A Cold Storage Facility
BPS Global has also been appointed as the specialist consultant for Chinachem and ESR's monumental 138,000 m² Kwai Chung facility — set to become Hong Kong's largest automated cold storage centre. Scheduled for completion in 2027, this landmark project integrates cutting-edge automation with aggressive ESG and green building certifications, including advanced rainwater recycling systems.

Cold Storage Engineering FAQ
Q1: Applying for a Cold Store License from the FEHD is complicated. Does BPS Global assist with this?
Absolutely. Cold chain facilities must comply with strict FEHD and Fire Services Department regulations. Our engineering consultancy team provides turnkey licensing support, from preliminary layout designs and ventilation calculations to coordinating on-site government inspections — ensuring your facility is legally and smoothly operational.
Q2: How do you prevent condensation and the "cold bridge effect" commonly found in cold rooms?
Preventing thermal leakage is at the core of our design. We utilize high-density PU or PIR insulated sandwich panels and apply specialized "thermal break" construction techniques at all joints and floor perimeters to completely block indoor-outdoor heat transfer. This not only eliminates cold bridges and condensation but can also save you up to 20% on refrigeration energy costs.
Q3: Can our existing ambient warehouse be retrofitted into a multi-temperature cold store?
Yes. We have extensive experience in capable of upgrading standard ambient warehouses into multi-temperature cold chain hubs (incorporating chilled, frozen, and ultra-low deep-freeze zones). Our team will reinforce floor load capacities, upgrade electrical power distributions, and integrate automated climate control systems to maximize your asset's value.
