Turn Key General Contractor

Biomedical Facility - Quidel

Summers Ridge, CA

Clarion successfully converted a 1,366 sq. ft.  warehouse space into a Biomedical Cooler/Freezer. Using Metl-Span insulated panels, Clarion built a 772 sq. ft. +36F Vestibule and a 594 sq. ft. -13F Freezer.


Clarion provided dual 100% redundant refrigeration systems for both the freezer and cooler. With safety in mind, Clarion installed a fully functional refrigerant leak detection system. The new cooler and freezer included Jamison Frigo BMP heated high speed doors with a custom sight sound safety system. Custom glass deli-type freezer doors with door heat and anti-fog features were installed for easy product picking along with custom shelving. For access control and monitoring, Clarion installed a custom door interlocks control system with state of the art alarm lights, horns and a programmable controller. All refrigeration and doors are capable of communicating to the BMS computer monitoring system, a critical feature for temperature sensitive product. All LED lighting and equipment were installed for a Title 24 compliant system. The freezer was installed with electric underfloor heat and galvanized racking. This project was challenged by space restriction and scheduling. Clarion was able to complete the project ahead of schedule and ready for the validation process.
