Saxum Cold Storage
Joliet, Illinois
Clayco built a 28,550-square-foot bakery/freezer facility for Landshire Sandwiches, which provides a variety of sandwiches, burritos, breakfast items and specialty foods to convenience stores, schools, vending companies, institutions, taverns, resorts and other locations in eight states. The facility expanded Landshire’s ability to create seven different types of buns from scratch and made the company’s efforts to serve more than 8,000 clients even easier.
Because Landshire’s products are frozen and then reheated, the baking process is essential to ensuring the freshness and taste of the buns. In addition to the bakery area, the building includes a high-bay freezer area with 44-foot clear-height ceilings and rack storage. Clayco constructed the facility of tilt-up concrete over structural steel, using insulated metal panels for the freezer section.
