Challenge
In response to the evolving needs of pet owners, the Ingredients Kitchen was designed to ensure traceability from “Plough to Plate.” Today’s pet owners have a keen desire to know where their pet’s food comes from and seek assurance that only the best ingredients are used. The automated dosing system enables precise measurement of dry raw ingredients, while the storage of finished products in a vast array of containers ensures complete traceability. To help achieve their ambitious programme requirements our client favoured contractors who they had long terms relations with and knew they could trust technically and operationally to deliver. Picow were therefore appointed as the electrical contractor for the project.
Solution
With our extensive experience and unparalleled expertise, Picow proved to be the ideal partner for our petfood manufacturing client. Our dedication towards delivering exceptional results shone through in every aspect of this project. From the intricate cable structure design to the installation of building services electrical systems, each step was meticulously executed to perfection. Our scope of work for the project included full LV and ELV infrastructure design and install encompassing, LV panels, band 1, 2 and ELV cable structures including management systems, earthing, building services, ATEX design and inspections, fire alarm and structured cabling systems.
Outcome
The Ingredients Kitchen represents a ground breaking milestone in the pet food production sector. On this project the close relationship we have with our client helped not only provide this facility within their timescale with a rolling phased programme built around third party commissioning timescales, but also ensured that we met their evolving technical requirements first time. This was a project where a flexible approach was paramount and our site management team and design personnel ensured that this was maintained especially at critical points of the programme.
