The project:
To supply a new production kitchen
and servery at Littlemore Hospital.
The result:
The project had to be completed
within a very short timeframe of just six weeks in order to ensure
that Littlemore Hospital would be able to fulfil a number of pre
booked events. BETTAquip was quick to understand that this
constraint meant that performance and delivery were the key project
requirements. Meeting the six week deadline was an even greater
challenge as the installation of the foodservice equipment had to
integrated with an extensive programme of building works
The brief given was to design and
install a kitchen and servery with the capability of doubling the
food production capacity. To meet this brief BETTAquip designed a
solution which maximised the available space by extending the
production kitchen into the existing servery area and relocating
the servery area within the dining area.
The scope of the works included the
installation of a new air handling system with a central island
extraction canopy and tempered input air. New Electrolux Prime
cooking equipment were incorporated into a central island and
featured two 20 grid combination ovens, two bratt pans, two solid
top burner ovens and two fryers. A general and chilled preparation
areas were installed and included HD Line refrigerated counters, an
80 litre mixer and a vegetable preparation machine. Two 20 grid
100KG Blast Chillers with remote compressors were also installed.
The bespoke Staron topped servery counter includes a facility to
serve hot meals, Grab and Go area and an Island Salad
Bar.
Despite the time constraints and
complex nature of the installation, BETTAquip completed the project
on time and on budget. The facility is now used by visitors and
staff and is proving to be a popular canteen.
The response:
