Ice House Construction

At Pitman Enterprises we’ve been building Ice Houses across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. Our experience ranges from small projects in remote villages in Alaska to large-scale commercial construction within the Pacific Northwest port system.

Modern ice house construction blends historical principles with contemporary technology to create efficient and sustainable cold storage solutions. These structures are engineered with advanced insulation materials, thermal barriers, and ventilation systems to regulate temperature and humidity levels effectively. High-efficiency refrigeration systems are integrated to generate and maintain the desired cold environment, while smart sensors and control systems ensure precise climate management. Pitman Enterprises has decades of experience building ice houses across various industries, including fishing and food storage, pharmaceuticals, and research, serving as eco-friendly alternatives that reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact compared to traditional cooling methods.
