Client: National Grid Project: Control Room Kitchen This project was carried out by Integral Build over a three week programme. It was logistically challenging due to a location within the live 24hr environment of National Grids main UK control room. The control room itself had to remain operational for the duration of the project with temporary welfare facilities provided. Our focus was to provide a functional yet comfortable space for the control room staff whilst ensuring a Zero tolerance Health and safety policy was adhered to. The space gives five separate teams their own storage spaces as they cook in shifts and share responsibilities for making refreshments. The nature of their work dictates that most of the time is spent at their work stations within a secure environment.

New technology was used with LED modular panel lighting technology, energy efficient LED strip and integrated appliances and convenience functions such as a Zip Tap and roll out recycling systems. From the outset, we worked very closely with the National Grid team based on site to deliver a solution tailored and fine tuned to meet their requirements and wish List! The knowledge of the facility from our Integral UK site based engineers and managers ensured any service or access requirements were organised with minimal disruption to the client.
