As part of our design specification we

allowed for the installation of corner

steels on the pantry and entrance

hall area. This was because the high

volume of goods coming in and out of

the kitchen and food trolleys where

causing chips to the old wall and

skirting tiles.

.1 Left: Old wall, skirting, and tiling.

2. Right: Corner steel to protect

plaster, new hard wearing skirting,

flooring and painted walls.

Above and above right (1 & 2), one of our consultants is measuring up for steel paneling on the sides of the kitchen

work tops to hide any unsightly plumbing work and to assist with kitchen cleanliness and hygiene. Above Right (3), the

timber work is being constructed ready for the steel work to be screwed on the worktop.

Right, Steels have been installed onto worktops. Note

the transformation between images 2 & 4.

Far, right, all unsightly pipe work has been boxed in,

we have designed for the steelwork to be screwed, soif any leaks on the plumbing where to occur, the

panels are simply removed for maintenance and/ or

repair. Note the transformation between images 1 &

2. our engineers had to drain down the primary

system, grind off and remove the existing pipe

work and cap- off.

.1 above is the old fan heater; this

was fed by the primary heating

system.3. Infrared heater has been mounted, ready to

be wired.

4 & 5 infrared heaters installed with proper spur

points, wired in to the RCD breaker and encased in

trunking, these are all operated off one switch.

Note the difference between images .1 to .4, we

had allowed for the infrared heaters in threedifferent corners as they are designed to heat up

only the people in the environment not the work

surfaces or the food.

.1, the old sliding shutter doors where a hindrance for staff trying to serve

the children, as they are particularly difficult to open.

3. After the removal of the sliding doors, our engineers can be seen

fabricating the woodwork and removing the pipe work from the wall

mounted heater.

.2, the area is also used for the breakfast club for children early in the

mornings, for this reason we had allowed and designed for new

electric sliding shutter doors and a counter area for the children to

slide their trays/ plates across to be served.

4. the woodwork is being built for the underpinnings of the counter.

by fitting the steel panel work and a worktop to slide the trays across and

finishing steel work to finish the top the shutter.

operated off a key switch. Note the difference between image .1to
