Clarion was recently
awarded the contract to construct a new storage freezer, 6 blast
freezers and shipping dock for Lyons Magnus of Fresno, California.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The building
features Metl-Span panels, Dow floor and overdeck insulation as well
as Jamison Cold Storage Doors. The blast freezers pictured
above are capable of freezing 360,000 pounds of produce a day.

Bob Smittcamp, owner
of Lyons Magnus needed a shortened construction time frame and
looked to Clarion for Fast Track scheduling including a 6 day
work week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The project involved
demolition of several structures and the construction of a new
pre-engineered steel structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clarion constructed a new Engine Room adjacent to
the site early into the project. This allowed Cold Storage
Technologies of Fresno, California and W& E Electric of Orosi,
California to install the equipment in the engine room before the main
structure was permitted The engine room includes
"State of
the Art" control systems,
as well as, 1650 HP of Frick compressors that maintain -40 F,
-20 F and +20 F zones simultaneously.

|
|
|
|
| |
Now in full swing and scheduled to complete in July,
the project will enable Mr.Smittcamp to process and provide frozen
storage for his various produce related products.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Four new dock positions were added with Metl-Span
Panels, installed by Clarion personnel, gracing the exterior.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
There are 7 new -40 F Blast Cells which are
loaded and unloaded directly from the Main Freezer.

The Main Freezer is 40' high clear and has a Kalman
Monorock concrete floor. The steel, armored joints are 100' on
center. The under-floor warming system is by Watts
Heatway and was installed by Clarion personnel.

The Penthouse ductwork, which is evident in this
photo, was designed and installed by Cold Storage Technologies
of Fresno California . The freezer racks, installed by
Advanced Storage Products, were filled with product the
day the Certificate of Occupancy was issued.

The Staging Dock is 50' deep and 24' high clear.

Clarion is pleased to have become an integral part
of the Lyons Magnus team.
