Cold Rooms in Gardens

Cold room work in Gardens is usually a fit-into-what-exists job: Kloof Street apartment blocks, converted Edwardian townhouses leaves little room for new plant, so panel layout and condenser position get designed together. Near Company's Garden, remote condensing units positioned away from noise-sensitive neighbours are often the only workable option. We build and service Gardens cold rooms on the same schedule as Tamboerskloof, with temperature logging and HACCP-ready records on every visit.

Gardens is the busiest mixed-use pocket in the Bowl, and its climate problems are mixed-use too. Along Kloof Street a single building might hold a restaurant kitchen at street level, offices on the first floor and short-let apartments above — three completely different cooling loads sharing one service shaft. We work that vertical puzzle constantly: remote condensing units on flat roofs, noise-controlled plant for residential neighbours above, and refrigeration that survives a kitchen running fourteen-hour days.

A cold room is a building, a refrigeration system and a food-safety document all at once. We design and install walk-ins for restaurants, delis, bakeries, florists and pharmacies across the City Bowl, and we take over neglected rooms that were never commissioned properly.
