Bespoke Purchase Solution for Private Marina

Project Execution

1. Design & Planning

The project began with a comprehensive consultation process. Our Bespoke Purchase Solutions team worked closely with the client to understand their operational needs and the environmental challenges of the location. This phase involved:

• Custom Layout Design:
  A bespoke layout was created to optimise space usage, ensuring the kitchen and dining areas were functional and efficient.
  The design incorporated a medium output cookline, a customer servery counter, ample prep space, refrigeration, dishwashing facilities, and dining space.
• All-Electric Cooking Line:
  Given the gas restrictions, the kitchen was equipped with an all-electric cooking line, including ovens, fryers, and induction hobs, ensuring the facility could meet the marina's food service needs.
• Building System & Insulation:
  A modular building system with 110mm insulation was specified to comply with building regulations and to maintain a warm interior during Scotland's colder months.

2. Manufacturing

Once the design was finalised, the manufacturing process began. On-Site Kitchen Rentals Ltd utilised high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity, particularly in the harsh coastal environment of the marina.

The modular units were pre-fabricated off-site, allowing for precision engineering and quality control before transportation to the site.

3. Installation

The installation process was meticulously planned to minimise disruption to the marina's operations. The modular units were transported to the site and assembled quickly, thanks to the prefabricated design.

The installation team ensured that all electrical systems, kitchen equipment, and dining facilities were set up and tested for optimal performance.

4. Final Touches & Handover

Once installed, the facility underwent a thorough inspection to ensure it met all building regulations and client specifications. The engineering team provided comprehensive training to the marina staff on the operation and maintenance of the kitchen equipment.

The project was completed on time and within budget, ready for the Marina to apply their finishes touches to the internal decor.

Challenges & Solutions

• Remote Location:
  The remote location posed logistical challenges, including transportation and installation. On-Site Kitchen Rentals Ltd addressed this by using modular construction, which allowed for off-site fabrication and a streamlined installation process.
• Energy Efficiency:
  To meet the energy efficiency requirements, the building was constructed with 110mm insulation and fitted with heat curtains and double glazed windows with insulated shutters, ensuring the facility remained warm and operationally cost-effective during the colder months.
• No Gas Permitted:
  The restriction on gas necessitated an all-electric kitchen, which was successfully implemented with high-performance electric cooking equipment that met the client's needs without compromising on functionality or efficiency.

Outcome

The completed modular kitchen and dining facility at the Marina has been a resounding success. It has provided a warm, welcoming, and functional space for both staff and visitors, significantly enhancing the marina's hospitality offerings.

The use of modular construction, high insulation standards, and all-electric solutions ensured that the project met the client's needs while overcoming the challenges posed by the remote and cold location.

The marina now benefits from a state-of-the-art cafe facility that not only serves delicious food but also stands as a testament to our ability to deliver bespoke solutions tailored to the most demanding environments.
