A M King Is Expanding A Cold Storage Distribution Center For Aldi, Inc.

Frederick, MD—A M King, a fully integrated Design-Build firm, is expanding an existing food distribution facility for ALDI, Inc. in Frederick, MD. The new cold storage distribution center will boost the discount grocer’s existing perishables space, promoting growth of its available products and overall company growth. Construction is scheduled to be completed by February 2018.

A M King will renovate the existing 100,000-square feet of refrigerated and freezer perishable space, including conversion to new temperature zones, and add a new 48,000-square feet, 32’ clear, fully-racked freezer. Additional improvements include expansion of the ammonia refrigeration system, a new perishable break room, locker rooms and employee parking lot; update to millwork cabinetry/appliances in employee welfare areas; conversion to interior and exterior LED lighting and energy-saving modifications on new and existing equipment.

This project has a unique building design to accommodate coordination with the local airport authority and to protect forested conservation areas located to the South of the property.

“We also face an accelerated schedule, limited available work space and the challenges of maintaining company operations during construction,” explains Senior Project Manager Carl Morse. “But I am confident that we will meet our deadline, present an exceptional project and exceed ALDI’s expectations.”
