KEEING THE BEVERAGES FLOWING WHILE STEMMING THE FLOW OF ENERGY
BEVERAGE STORAGE FACILITY IN FRESNO, CALIFORNIA
THE CHALLENGE
Keeping this large beverage storage facility cool in the hot California climate was costing our client a small fortune in energy consumption. Of special concern was the packing station, where beverages await transportation after being removed from cold storage, and should be kept as cool as possible to preserve quality. Additionally, the old roof was ineffective in keeping windblown dust and dirt from entering the building. This was a unique set of circumstances that presented a formidable challenge.
THE PROCESS
- Installed 2” polyfoam roof system over entire facility
- Applied 4” foam to cold storage unit interior
- Painted and texture-coated exterior of facility
THE RESULT
With the improved insulation, the facility is more energy-efficient than ever, with the packing station now 30 degrees cooler than before. And since the coolers run less, the client enjoys significant energy savings.

“I’m from the old school – do what you say, and say what you do – and Barrier operates that way also. We’ve been very pleased with their service. We would recommend everyone to let Barrier put a foam roof on their building. It’s a tremendous product. We were able to reduce our utility bill by about 30 percent. You’re going to save energy. You’re never going to have a leak. Barrier Roofing is a great company.”
