US Army Aviano
As part of Operation Deny Flight, Aviano Air Force Base was the home of US pilots enforcing a no fly zone over Bosnia. They required a more robust and long term solution to the ‘khaki tent’ they were using, so a rapidly deployed modular system was investigated.

Organisation of shipping, manifests and customs procedures for the delivery of the modular kitchens
Provision of site project management and installation labour
Commissioning and testing of facility plus full training of personnel
Key Features
Entire facility was supplied from existing PKL hire inventory. This allowed the client to examine the equipment before order was placed
Entire facility was assembled in the UK and delivered to site ready for immediate installation
Portable Kitchen units were designed to be redeployed
Modules designed to comply with European fire and food safety codes
From enquiry to final design approval was 14 days. Delivery and installation from order was only 35 days
Project was so successful, four other similar facilities were delivered to US Forces in the Balkans during 1996
Working through Universal Ogden, PKL designed a suitable 1000 man DFAC that was approved by military planners within days of the original enquiry. It was only 35 days from order to installation.
