Modular Construction
A modular construction system is one of the key Erickson benefits, providing custom design and building of structures that are low cost, easy to maintain and easy to modify or expand.

Modular panels up to 26 feet high can be assembled into virtually any size structure. These panels are available in thickness of 4, 5, or 6 inches, filled with energy-saving foamed-in-place fire retardant urethane. The 97% closed-cell structure provides an aged "R" factor of 30.1 at 4" thickness (increased "R" factors may be obtained by using 5" or 6" panels). Weather-tested metal skins may be finished in 26 gauge stucco embossed coated steel, galvalume or custom baked enamel color over steel or aluminum and are built to withstand extreme temperature conditions.

Choice of construction type is based on the size of the structure, usage, site conditions and other variables. Three construction types are available:

Suspended - Ceilings are suspended from existing building steel support system. Ideal for leased buildings or situations requiring a high degree of flexibility. Classified as equipment for tax purposes, rather than a permanent structure, these qualify for investment tax credit and accelerated depreciation. (Consult your tax advisor for complete details.)

Pallet racking - Ceiling panels can be supported by pallet storage racks, eliminating the need for conventional steel framing. A construction that is both permanent and economical.

Steel structure - Ceiling is supported by a conventional steel framework. Recommended for wall heights over 24 feet. Other determining factors may be: windload, snowload and the potential for seismic activity. Also used under certain site-specific conditions.

Special features
Erickson refrigerated warehouses offer a number of advantages. They include:

• Posi-Loc - a panel locking system that makes a tight, reliable thermal seal, yet is easy to unlock, adjust or add panels and re-lock. All locking assemblies are foamed-in-place and metal straps may be run through the panel to connect the hook and pin assemblies.
  
  
  
• Sturdy door construction which includes a patented fiberglass reinforced plastic doorjam on all personal doors that won't rust, dent, or twist out of shape.
  
  Erickson manufactures single horizontal sliding doors up to 8'x 8'. These doors are manually operated and match the finish of your cooler/freezer panels.
  
  Erickson offers an extensive variety of door selections, including
  • electric doors
  • manual doors
  • single sliding doors
  • bi-part doors
  • vertical doors

  The Erickson Warehouse Refrigeration Specialist will help you choose the proper doors for the applications required for your project.
