U.S. Cold Storage Project Profile | Gillespie Electric, Inc.

Gillespie Electric, Inc. was the Electrical Contractor for the new construction of this 245,000 sf freezer warehouse located in Quakertown, PA. This project features a two-story office building, employee wellness area, 32 tractor trailer dock doors, and four refrigerated warehouse rooms. It has LED lighting with an integrated control system and convertible freezers with temperature zones that range from 0-36 degrees. The dock area electronic doors open to allow the truck doors to open right into the building. The building needed a high voltage metered service from utility and a 4,000 amp MDP with 4,000 amp Kirk Key generator breaker. Gillespie Electric, Inc.'s determined approach provided the ability to overcome challenges and quickly complete modifications on site that arose while working on this project. The six month, fast paced project was tested by the weather and confronted with natural obstacles, leading to a quick engineering and no room for mistakes. The accelerated schedule required close communication and precise planning from all trades and coordination through Primus Builders, Inc. and was completed on October 2014. This project awarded Gillespie Electric, Inc. the Merit Level in the ABC 25th Annual Merit Construction Awards of Excellence on November 5, 2015.
