Vegetable storage construction in almaty

In modern agribusiness, where crop preservation plays a key role, vegetable storage facilities are becoming increasingly in demand. This trend is driven by a number of factors:

Development of the agricultural sector:
In 2023, 236,000 farms in need of storage facilities were registered in Kazakhstan.

Cost effectiveness:
Modern vegetable storage facilities reduce storage losses by 15-25%.

Technological progress:
Over the past 5 years, 7 new storage technologies have been introduced.

Climatic features:
Temperature fluctuations reach 70°C over the course of a year

These buildings are specialised structures designed for the long-term storage of vegetables and fruit under optimal conditions. Modern technologies make it possible to create efficient storage systems with minimal product losses.

Main characteristics:

• Microclimate control: Temperature maintained to within ±0.5°C, humidity to within ±3%.
• Ventilation: Air exchange systems keep produce in good condition for up to 9-12 months.
• Economic efficiency: reduction of losses by 20-30%.
• Modular design: The storage facility can be expanded as production volumes grow.
• Energy efficiency: the use of modern insulation materials makes it possible to reduce the cost of maintaining the microclimate by up to 25%.
• Environmental friendliness: use of materials that are 95% recyclable.

Over 30 years of operation, Profi-Dom has completed more than 50 projects in the field of vegetable storage construction, from small farm facilities to large industrial complexes. Our specialists continuously improve technologies to provide clients with the most efficient solutions.

Above-ground storage facilities:

• Structure: reinforced concrete or steel frame with thermal insulation
• Advantages: high capacity, ease of loading/unloading, possibility of mechanising processes
• Application: for large and medium-sized farms
• Features: the possibility of creating multi-section storage facilities for different types of vegetables

Embedded storage facilities:

• Structure: facilities partially or fully embedded in the ground
• Advantages: natural thermal insulation, energy savings, resistance to external temperature fluctuations
• Application: for small farms
• Features: require thorough waterproofing

Modular prefabricated storage facilities:

• Structure: prefabricated assemblies made of ready-made modules
• Advantages: fast installation (2-3 weeks), possibility of expansion, mobility
• Application: for farms with changing production volumes
• Features: the structure can be relocated if necessary

Refrigeration chambers:

• Design: insulated rooms with a cooling system
• Advantages: precise temperature control, possibility of creating different temperature zones
• Application: for perishable vegetables and fruit
• Features: high energy intensity, require professional maintenance

“Profi-Dom” specialises in all these types and can offer the optimal solution depending on the client's needs, production volumes and types of stored produce.

The following materials are used in construction:

Foundation:

• Monolithic reinforced concrete: compressive strength 30-40 MPa
• Precast reinforced concrete blocks: installation speed 30-40% higher

Walls:

• Brick: thermal conductivity 0.56-0.7 W/(m·K)
• Sandwich panels: thickness 80-150 mm, thermal conductivity 0.022-0.025 W/(m·K)
• Monolithic reinforced concrete: thickness 200-300 mm

Roofing:

• Metal roof tiles: service life 30-50 years
• Corrugated sheeting: thickness 0.5-0.7 mm
• Membrane roofing: thickness 1.2-2 mm, service life 25-30 years

Thermal insulation:

• Mineral wool: thermal conductivity 0.035-0.042 W/(m·K)
• Polyurethane foam: thermal conductivity 0.022-0.028 W/(m·K)
• Extruded polystyrene: compressive strength 200-500 kPa

Ventilation systems:

• Supply and exhaust units: capacity of 0.5-2 kW per 100 m³
• Active ventilation systems: capacity of 100-150 m³/h per 1 tonnes of produce

Profi-Dom uses only certified materials from trusted suppliers, which guarantees the durability and reliability of the structures.

The cost depends on several factors: the storage volume and type of structure, the level of automation of the microclimate control systems, the construction and insulation materials used, the need for special equipment, the location of the facility and the construction conditions.

On average, the cost in Almaty ranges from 40 000 to 120 000 KZT per cubic metre.
Building vegetable storage facilities is an investment in the future of agribusiness that can significantly improve the efficiency of storing and selling agricultural produce. They combine modern storage technologies, energy efficiency and adaptability to various types of vegetables and fruit.
