TIG-welded stainless exhaust ductwork and fryer install at a cold-storage food plant by Sons of Thunder Welding

Refrigerated & food-grade facilities

Cold Storage

Cold storage runs on uptime and hygiene. We fabricate and install the sanitary stainless that keeps these facilities clean, compliant, and moving — and we hit the completion date even when the start date slips.

In short

For cold storage and refrigerated facilities we provide sanitary stainless duct and ventilation, food-grade fabrication, and field install — TIG-welded, hygienic, and finished on schedule around your operations.

Refrigerated and food facilities can not tolerate a weld that fails inspection or harbors contamination. The work has to be clean, food-grade, and installed without shutting the whole plant down.

Our headline field showpiece is a U.S. Cold Storage job: 66" stainless duct and 34" fryer ducts, TIG-welded, field-fit, and completed on time even after the start date kept getting pushed.

On the job

On time when the schedule worked against us

The start date got pushed back repeatedly while the completion date held firm. We got on site, made field adjustments, worked extended hours, and even advanced the mechanical contractor’s scope during welding downtime to pull the schedule in.

Sanitary stainless duct and fryer ducts, food-grade and finished roughly a week ahead — with a satisfied MEP foreman.

  • 66" stainless duct + 34" fryer ducts
