VOLUME 3 SPRING ISSUE — MARCH, 1974 NUMBER 1
MANY 'FIRSTS' FOR SOULÉ WITH SAFEWAY
THE SAFEWAY TULSA FACILITY FEATURES ATTRACTIVE INSULATED SOULÉ TEMP-CON® PANELS
A Frozen Foods Warehouse just completed for Safeway Stores, Incorporated, utilizes Soule's Temp-Con® cold storage building system. Not only is this the largest of our projects, but it has extended our horizons farther east than any previous Temp-Con project—to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Soule's Temp - Con insulated panels and the ability of our Buildings Division to provide one-source responsibility for the entire structure, from the frame to the barrier envelope were important features of the project.
What are these panels? Developed and patented by Soule', Temp-Con is an insulated "sandwich" panel — regular steel rolled color sheets, with an architectural pattern on the outside; filled with polyurethane inside, for insulation—providing a vapor barrier and an attractive wall.
There are many advantages to these panels: 5" of polyurethane is equivalent to 14" of concrete for insulation. Temp-Con panels have
a U.L. label specifying the foam has a low-flame spread ratio of 25.
Temp-Con panels are impervious to ice build-up, and provide economy and efficiency, not only in insulation value, but in maintenance and replacement costs.
Safeway retained Kaiser Engineers as Construction Managers in the initial planning stages. McCune, McCune & Associates were retained as the architects. Working closely with Kaiser, the architects and Safeway, Soule' engineered the Temp-Con building system.
The job involved a warehouse 180 ft. wide x 200 ft. long, including a 20 ft. loading dock on the end. The building had to hold food at minus ten degrees, and the loading dock had to be at a constant plus forty degrees.
The Soule' personnel on this job are: George Ferreboeuf, Building Sales, Engineer, San Francisco, who sold the Temp-Con /Soulé' Building system to Safeway; George Woods, Erection Superintendent; Jim DeRossette, Foreman, who headed up erection of the building.
