MEP & Refrigeration EPC for Cold Storage & Cold Chain
In cold storage, a few degrees of drift is a spoiled consignment. We build the refrigeration, insulated envelope, redundant power and monitoring that hold temperature 24×7 — engineered for reliability, energy efficiency and food-safety compliance.
What cold storage projects demand
- Unbroken temperature integrity
- Refrigeration reliability & redundancy
- Power backup for compressors
- Energy cost of continuous running
- Hygiene & food-safety compliance
What we deliver
- Ammonia / Freon refrigeration plants
- PUF-insulated cold rooms & envelope
- HT/LT power with DG backup for compressors
- 24×7 temperature & alarm monitoring (BMS)
- Fire detection, electrical & rooftop solar

- Cold storage refrigeration: where the MEP design fails — Defrost loads, door infiltration, condensate and the electrical headroom that cold rooms are routinely under-designed for.
- Solar for round-the-clock compressor loads — Cold storage runs its compressors through every daylight hour, so every generated unit offsets the bill directly.
Cold storage construction cost — what actually moves the number
Two cold stores of the same floor area can differ in cost by a wide margin, and almost none of that difference is in the building shell. These are the decisions that set it — fix them before comparing any quotation.
- Temperature regime. A chilled store (roughly +2 to +8 °C) and a frozen store (around −18 to −25 °C) are different projects: panel thickness, refrigeration capacity, door specification and floor treatment all step up for frozen.
- Insulated panel specification. PUF or PIR panel thickness and density, joint detailing and vapour sealing decide both the capital cost and the running cost for the life of the store.
- Refrigeration system. Packaged units versus a central plant, refrigerant choice, redundancy and defrost method — sized to the product load and pull-down time, not to floor area.
- Chambers, doors and ante-room. Every additional chamber, door opening and dock adds load and equipment; an ante-room or dock shelter is cheaper than the energy it saves.
- Frozen-store floor. Below-zero stores need underfloor heating or ventilation to stop frost heave — a line item that is easy to leave out of a quote and expensive to add later.
- Electrical connection and backup. Connected load, sanctioned load, transformer and DG backup sized for the refrigeration duty — the electrical scope is a large share of the total and depends on the DISCOM connection you have.
- Fire protection and approvals. Detection and suppression suited to insulated-panel construction, plus the Fire NOC and CEIG filings — part of the project, not an afterthought.

India's trusted cold storage MEPF & solar EPC partner
Secured Engineers Pvt. Ltd. builds the mechanical, electrical and refrigeration backbone for cold storages, blast freezers and cold-chain warehouses across Punjab, Delhi NCR and India. From potato and agri stores to pharma cold chain and frozen foods, we deliver the refrigeration plant, insulated envelope, power and monitoring under one accountable contract.
A cold store runs 24×7, and the cost of failure is the whole consignment. That is why we engineer redundancy and efficiency into every layer — correctly sized ammonia or Freon refrigeration, PUF-insulated panels and doors that hold the cold, HT/LT power with DG backup so compressors never stop, and continuous temperature and alarm monitoring that flags a problem before product is at risk.
Hiring a cold storage contractor comes down to one question: are the refrigeration, the envelope and the power one accountability or three? Most cold-chain failures are interface failures. A panel vendor fits the envelope, a refrigeration supplier sets the plant, an electrical contractor wires it — and when the room will not hold temperature at peak ambient, each of the three can point at the other two. Establish before award: whether the plant is sized against the real heat load, which means product load, respiration where the produce is live, door openings per shift and the pull-down duty, not just room volume; whether the envelope specification and the plant selection were made by people who spoke to each other; what happens on a power failure and how long the store rides through it; and what the monitoring alarms on, to whom, at three in the morning. We take refrigeration, envelope, power and monitoring as one scope for exactly that reason.
Continuous running also makes cold storage one of the most energy-hungry facilities you can operate. Our designs cut that bill with efficient refrigeration, VFD-driven compressors, LED lighting and rooftop solar with net-metering — while meeting food-safety and hygiene norms. One team owns refrigeration, power, fire and monitoring from design and approvals to commissioning and AMC.
Sub-sectors we serve
Why cold storage leaders choose us
Refrigeration sized for reliability
Correctly sized ammonia or Freon plants with redundancy, VFD compressors and a PUF-insulated envelope that holds temperature — so a single fault never spoils a consignment.
Power that never lets compressors stop
HT/LT distribution with synchronised DG backup and the right protection, so continuous refrigeration keeps running through any grid outage.
Cut the running bill
Efficient refrigeration, VFD drives, LED lighting and rooftop solar with net-metering attack the biggest cost in cold storage — round-the-clock energy.
Monitored 24×7, one accountable partner
Continuous temperature and alarm monitoring via BMS, with refrigeration, power, fire and controls under one contract and AMC support.
Every system, one partner
HVAC contractor
Precision cooling, ventilation & thermal comfort.
Electrical contractor
Reliable power, safely engineered.
PHE contractor
Water, drainage & public health, done right.
Fire fighting contractor

MEP AMC contractor
Keep every system running at peak.
A cold storage project rarely needs one of these alone. One MEP contractor carries the whole scope, and a turnkey MEP contractor carries it from design through commissioning on a single contract.
Cold Storage zones we serve
Named industrial estates where cold storage is a real, concentrated presence — not a generic city listing.
We serve every sector
All 13 sectors are on the industries overview. Work that spans sectors — utilities, process-side electrical, statutory approvals across trades — sits on the industrial engineering contractor page.
Cold Storage MEPF & solar — your questions answered
Do you build the complete cold storage — refrigeration, insulation, power and monitoring?
Yes. We deliver the full cold-storage backbone — ammonia or Freon refrigeration plants, PUF-insulated cold rooms and doors, HT/LT power with DG backup, fire detection, and 24×7 temperature and alarm monitoring — from design and approvals to commissioning and AMC, under one contract.
How do you keep temperature stable during a power cut?
We design HT/LT power with synchronised DG backup sized for the compressor load, plus an efficient PUF-insulated envelope that holds temperature, so refrigeration keeps running and product stays safe through grid outages.
Can you reduce the energy cost of a cold store?
Yes — cold storage runs 24×7, so efficiency matters most. We use correctly sized, VFD-driven refrigeration, LED lighting and rooftop solar with net-metering to cut the round-the-clock energy bill, often the single largest operating cost.
Do you build cold storage in Punjab and North India?
Yes. With our registered head office in Ludhiana and corporate office in Noida, we build cold storage and cold-chain facilities across Punjab, Delhi NCR and 18+ states — potato/agri stores, dairy, frozen foods and pharma cold chain.
Rooftop solar for cold storage
If your facility runs a meaningful daytime load, rooftop solar is usually the fastest lever on operating cost — provided it is sized against your consumption, your roof is verified to carry it, and the DISCOM and CEIG paperwork is handled. We engineer, approve and build all three parts under one contract.
- How we size factory solar
- Industrial solar EPC — HT plants, DG interlocks & power quality
- 100 kW plant cost
- 250 kW plant cost
- 500 kW plant cost
- 1 MW plant cost
- Net-metering timelines
