Temporary Kitchen for HMP Channings Wood
HMP Channings Wood had a requirement to refurbish their existing catering facilities whilst still operating their normal day to day routines. They required a facility for a 4 month period and to cover 650 meals a day.
Working within a restricted footprint, we were able to design and install a 25 unit Portable Kitchen facility to meet all of HMP Channings Wood’s catering requirements. This stand alone facility was linked to mains gas supply and operated a full commercial kitchen including preparation area, three main production kitchens and temperature controlled storage.
We assign a Project Manager to every project to ensure that all processes run smoothly from initial design through to the installation and commissioning. At the beginning of this project, a time line and mandatory health and safety information was provided along with risk assessments, method statements and a safety plan for the works.
Throughout the duration of this project, we provided 24/7 technical support. Due to the sensitivity of the Home Office locations, our engineers make regular pre-arranged service visits to carry out Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) visits and any additional equipment training.
