The Challenge
A leading UK university research facility located on the shores of Loch Lomond faced an urgent requirement for additional cold storage capacity. With growing numbers of visiting students, research fellows, and ongoing scientific projects, existing refrigeration facilities had surpassed their limits.
The university needed a solution that could be delivered quickly, meet stringent safety standards, and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding environment without disrupting day-to-day operations.
The Solution
Following an initial site survey, the Ardo Group Install Team designed and delivered a fast-track cold storage solution, taking the project from concept to completion in just seven days.
The installation included three bespoke external cold rooms, specifically tailored to the facility’s operational requirements.
Key features included:
- Industry leading fire-rated Camlock insulated panels and doors
- High-performance J&E Hall refrigeration systems
- Robust, reliable commercial-grade cold storage infrastructure
- External cold room design that complemented the site’s surroundings
- Rapid installation with minimal disruption to ongoing research activities
The Result
Within one week, the university had significantly increased its cold storage capacity, providing researchers and visiting academics with the facilities required to support current and future projects.
The completed installation delivered:
✅ Additional temperature-controlled storage capacity
✅ Compliance with modern fire safety requirements
✅ Reliable refrigeration performance for critical research materials
✅ A professional, aesthetically integrated external solution
✅ A fully operational facility delivered on an accelerated timescale
Conclusion
This project demonstrates Ardo Group’s ability to deliver high-quality cold storage solutions under demanding timescales. By combining expert project management, proven refrigeration technology, and experienced installation teams, the facility was able to rapidly expand its storage capacity and continue supporting vital research activities without delay.
