Rolls Mechanical has three decades of industry presence and a seasoned workforce, with over 50 percent of the employees having dedicated over 20 years to the organization. This longevity has cultivated a highly efficient and cost-effective operation, as the crews have honed their collaboration over the years and exhibit expertise in their respective fields. The company has a multi-tiered internal structure encompassing various levels between design and engineering and dedicated teams for installation, startup service controls, electrical work, and plumbing. This allows it to handle all aspects of a project, starting from design, and occasionally collaborate with external subcontractors to obtain competitive prices and quotes for specialized services like structural steel, roofing, cement, and excavation. This ensures the acquisition of competitive prices and quotes to facilitate the seamless completion of projects.
The company designs cold storage solutions ranging from small applications to large warehouse projects, offering a turnkey approach for clients seeking comprehensive service from conception to completion. It collaborates with various specialists and internal teams to bring clients’ ideas to fruition, tailoring the project to their specific needs. Its expertise lies in understanding and seamlessly integrating with existing refrigeration systems and equipment, delivering standout solutions.
In the client engagement process, the company collaborates with clients to assimilate their requirements, align the design with their vision, and effectively manage costs within specified budget constraints. Simultaneously, it aims to ensure the design’s compliance with future standards. Rolls Mechanical emphasizes the importance of location and meticulously analyzes factors like climate, outdoor atmosphere, and geographical nuances to create designs that harmonize with the given surroundings. It follows an iterative process to refine the design based on the client’s feedback, ultimately arriving at a finalized design and budget that satisfy the client’s preferences.
With licenses in over 25 states across the United States and a track record of successful projects in diverse locations, from the southern regions along the Texas-Mexico border to the East Coast in Maryland, Rolls Mechanical has a wealth of experience. This extensive experience set the stage when the company was approached by a client who recently acquired an existing cross-docking facility in Laredo, Texas. They specialized in importing cucumbers from Mexico and required a facility to receive and process atmosphere-temperature cucumbers. Rolls Mechanical successfully designed a solution, providing 50,000 square feet of refrigerated storage to maintain a temperature of 35 degrees. This facilitated the breakdown of bulk shipments into production boxes, packaging, and palletizing for efficient cross-docking on the other side of the facility, enabling nationwide distribution.
