Stellar completes facility conversion and expansion for Beaver Street Fisheries
Work on the $4.9 million design-build project started in Spring 2021
Stellar has completed its renovation and expansion of the Beaver Street Fisheries, Inc. (BSF) seafood packaging facility in Jacksonville, Fla. The wholesale seafood and meat supplier engaged Stellar to convert a 12,000 sq.-ft. freezer into a seafood processing and packaging facility expansion on the BSF campus just west of downtown. Additionally, Stellar converted a portion of another freezer into cooler space for storing and tempering product to support BSF's expanded processing capacity. Work on the $4.9 million design-build project started in Spring 2021.
Stellar crews completely gutted the existing 12,000 sq.-ft. freezer space and installed a new sloped concrete floor slab with nearly two dozen floor drains, new insulated metal panel (IMP) walls and ceilings, new electrical wiring, switchgear and energy-efficient lighting, new plumbing and a new replacement fire sprinkler system. Stellar also designed and installed a 1,700 sq.-ft. processing support freezer and updated multi-temperature ammonia refrigeration system.
