The need for proper detailing of thermal barriers, insulation and slabs is of paramount importance when designing a building structure that will also serve as an insulated vessel. When a 35 degree cooler is adjacent to a -10 degree freezer, it is important that structural and thermal building details are in concert to ensure that the building is able to perform efficiently with respect to energy use while still meeting the needs of the client and the client’s processes. Maintaining professional registration in nearly all 50 states allows Providence’s staff of engineers the flexibility to serve cold storage/food clients nationwide.

“Anytime we run into a situation on the jobsite that requires a structural engineer’s determination, I immediately call Providence Engineering. Their responsiveness and understanding of jobsite conditions is unmatched. It is nice to know that we have a true partner to help us through any challenges we encounter.”
