At the heart of most of our client’s business are the areas in which the various products are manufactured.  These range from simple refrigerated rooms through to complex suites of production rooms, work in progress chills, ingredient stores, hygiene rooms and a myriad of associated equipment.  These areas should not be simply thought of as refrigerated rooms with hygienic finishes; the size, configuration and layout of these rooms can only be determined once a full understanding of the product and production cycle is gained.

 

 

Generally there are process machines to be incorporated and often in the case of cooking facilities these will form the divide between high risk and low risk environments.

We are fully conversant with the legislation governing such production facilities and also in applying this legislation in a practical real-world fashion. 

 

The typical elements which will make up production facilities include composite insulated panel walls and ceilings, resin floor systems, stainless steel drainage, refrigeration and ventilation including pressurisation, doors, electrics and mechanical systems. 

 

We always design and build for the long term, and this means ensuring that often overlooked items such as underground drainage design is correct, and that measures are put in place to protect the fabric of the rooms, such as barriers, bollards etc.

 

 

Production areas usually have a large requirement for energy input, both in terms of electrical power and hot water for handwashing and washdown.  By working with Celsius Projects Limited we can provide energy efficient solutions to these needs such as utilising heat reclaim systems to generate hot water from the refrigeration system waste heat.  As with all the best outcomes, a measured and integrated approach is usually the right solution.
