Temporary Kitchen for Swinfen Hall
Swinfen Hall needed to refurbish their catering facilities, and they had very clear requirements on what they wanted. The kitchen needed to be open plan allowing maximum visibility and had to be built to strict security guidelines. To do this, we constructed Dwarf Walls and Central Island Canopies to allow for complete visibility around the kitchen – this was the first kitchen to have been constructed like this.
The whole facility was constructed using PKL container kitchen units which were based on the design of ISO shipping containers – these units allow for a flexible configuration to suit the site. The open plan facility consisted of walk in coldrooms, warewashing facilities, dry storage, preparation areas and a main production kitchen covering 365m².
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.
