IDL recently completed an ambitious catering facility installation at one of the UK’s most remote construction sites in Finstown, Orkney. The kitchen, designed to eventually serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 400 workers, presented unique logistical challenges that showcased IDL’s problem-solving capabilities.
The remote island location required careful planning and coordination. IDL’s team travelled to the site with two vans, while our transport partner, Touttes Directions Limited, managed the delivery of equipment using two full-sized articulated lorries that crossed via ferry. Working closely with J.W. Gray, BAM, Siemens, and the end client SSEN, our team transformed an empty cabin into a fully-functional industrial kitchen.
Starting with bare walls, IDL built all internal structures, installed a comprehensive electrical distribution board, and ran water supplies and drainage throughout the facility. A highlight of the project included constructing a reinforced wall specifically designed to support the heavy-duty extract canopy. The six-week project saw our electrical specialists remain on-site for extended periods to ensure seamless integration of all systems.
Contact our team today to discuss how IDL can deliver exceptional results regardless of location or logistical constraints.
