Needs + challenges
Cherry Hill Coolstores plays a vital role in the agricultural industry, handling substantial volumes of high-value products, including:
- 15,000–16,000 tonnes of potato seed
- 5,000–6,000 tonnes of raspberry and blackberry canes
- 34,000 tonnes of carrots.
To sustain their large-scale operation and meet growing demand, they required purpose-built facilities, including a potato processing facility, a cane storage shed, and a cool storage shed with a dedicated carrot wash line. The challenge was to deliver these solutions efficiently while tailoring them to the specific demands of the agricultural industry, allowing Cherry Hill to remain focused on their core business.
Success made simple
According to Cherry Hill Coolstores: “Working with Bison really gives us the confidence to allow them to do what they do best … build the facilities that we need, to do what we do best.” This partnership resulted in:
- Purpose-built spaces for potato, cane, and carrot operations.
- Streamlined construction with minimal disruption to daily work.
- Facilities tailored to handle the scale and complexity of their agricultural processes.
- Cool storage that controls temperature and CO2 levels, and uses ambient air to assist with humidity and energy requirements
