ALDI Food Distribution Facility | Jefferson, GA

A M King provided complete design-build services for this project, a new 500,000 SF Greenfield food distribution facility which was completed in 2010.  The facility consists of 105,000 SF of cooler and freezer space ranging from -20 degrees to 55 degrees, 375,000 SF of dry warehouse space, and 20,000 SF of two-story class A office space.  The total site consists of over 100 acres, approximately 60 acres of which were developed and improved.  In addition to providing complete design and engineering services, A M King also managed the state and local project approval process and provided off-site roadway and utility design and construction.  The cooler and freezer spaces are 40 feet in height, and are cooled by penthouse mounted evaporators and a 12,000 pound ammonia refrigerant system.  The exterior wall panels are site cast architectural concrete panels.  All floors throughout the facility are comprised of shrinkage compensating concrete with a dewatered topping.  This site paving consists of heavy duty concrete, and there are 78 dock stations with full vertical levelers.  The total construction duration from mobilization to occupancy was 14 months.
