Cost Efficiency
Underground storage facilities in Kansas City offer lease rates 30% to 50% lower than above-ground counterparts. Utility costs are also significantly reduced, contributing to overall operational savings.
Consistent Temperature
We utilize underground Kansas City caves to manage temperature needs and conserve energy. This allows us to maintain a 50-degree environment year-round, ensuring ideal conditions for storing perishable goods. This stability enhances product integrity and reduces operational risks associated with temperature fluctuations.
Humidity Control
Humidity levels below 55% are maintained, which is crucial for preserving food and packaging materials, extending shelf life, and reducing the need for additional conditioning.
Sustainability
Underground facilities are inherently "green," requiring fewer building materials and conserving natural resources. They also minimize storm-water runoff, light pollution, and energy consumption, making them environmentally sustainable choices for logistics operations.
Central Location and Accessibility
Located centrally with access to major roadways and intermodal facilities, Kansas City's underground storage allows for efficient distribution nationwide. This strategic location reduces transportation costs and environmental impact associated with long-distance shipping.
