Scope Of Work
Dot Foods is the largest food re-distributor in the country. They offer more than 112,000 products and deliver them in LTL (less-than-truckload) quantities to distributors in all 50 states. When it came time to expand their offerings in the Southwest, Dot selected Primus to provide turn-key design and construction services on their new, 190,000 SF cold and dry storage distribution facility.
Features include:
39,000 SF Freezer (-10°)
17,000 SF Cooler (35°)
Flexible wall to create a fourth temperature space (55°)
81,000 SF Dry storage
18,000 SF Cold dock (35°)
69,000 SF Opportunity Charging Area
46,000 SF Engine Room
12,700 SF Office
20 dock doors
The climate in Bullhead City was extremely challenging. Crews worked from 2:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. because the steel was too hot to touch during the afternoon. Primus provided misting stations to ensure workers could maintain a comfortable body temperature.
The new facility will employ 170 people by 2020.
This project was named Best Industrial Process Project and Project of the Year by the Design-Build Institute of America’s Southeast Chapter.
