01
Vapor-barrier continuity
A cold box fails where the vapor barrier is broken. Our crews run the barrier continuous across panel joints, floor-to-wall transitions, and roof parapets — so the box stays dry and the refrigeration bill stays sane.
Food & Cold Chain
PEMB Erection Crews for Cold Storage.
Insulated metal panel envelopes with continuous vapor barriers and cold-joint sealing for refrigerated logistics, freezer warehouses, and food-processing plants.

Why Cold Storage projects need specialized erectors
02
Cold-joint sealing
IMP joints on a freezer box move. We seal with the manufacturer’s cold-service sealant system, detail the thermal-break clips right, and document as-built joints so the refrigeration startup doesn’t chase leaks.
03
Temperature-active weatherproofing
Envelopes sealed in summer heat behave differently at 0°F. We install with the thermal cycle in mind — proper panel gaps, flashing overlaps, and fastener patterns rated for the operating temperature range.

FAQ
Common questions
Who installs IMP envelopes for cold storage and freezer warehouses?
Alpha Labor Co. provides IMP and PEMB envelope crews for cold storage, refrigerated warehouses, and food-processing facilities nationwide. Our crews install continuous vapor barrier, seal cold joints, and weatherproof temperature-active envelopes. Contact us at (772) 285-6009 or alphalabor.com.
What makes cold storage envelope work different from standard IMP installation?
A cold box fails where the vapor barrier is broken. Cold storage requires continuous barrier across panel joints, floor-to-wall transitions, and roof parapets, plus cold-service sealant systems and thermal-break clip detailing. Envelopes sealed in summer heat also behave differently at 0 degrees F, so panel gaps and fastener patterns must be rated for the full operating range.
Do you document as-built joint conditions for refrigeration startup?
Yes. Alpha Labor Co. documents as-built joint conditions on cold storage envelopes so the refrigeration startup team is not chasing leaks. This is the same documentation standard we apply on commissioning-grade hyperscale data center work.
Request a Cold Storage crew.
A field ops manager reviews every request personally — usually within a few hours on business days.
