Customer:

Project:

Tameside Hospital Main Kitchen Flight Type Dishwasher Replacement

Brief:

To replace the ageing flight machine with a new more efficient and reliable solution. Also to design a new machine loading solution to increasing the turnover of the machine while reducing staff input.

Design/Planning:

ATL’s own ware washing specialist with over 10 years’ experience working for leading manufacturers instantly took the lead on designing and specifying a suitable machine. The machine would need to be both electrically powered and also run from the hospitals steam supply. ATL Worked closely with Hobart UK’s specialist team as well as the Hospitals own engineer staff to ensure a seamless installation. 

Product Delivery:

ATL assigned an experienced and dedicated project manager to oversee the work and ensure all the client’s needs were met as far as quality and timescale. Also with the added challenge of delivering this project while the hospital was still in full production. 

ATL’s work brief consisted of:

• Removal of existing machine. 
• All plumbing and electrical works to complete the project.
• Undertake training of staff on site on the new equipment.
• Work undertaken in a live busy environment ensuring he clients kitchens stay open.
• The existing machine was recycled and dealt with in an environmentally sustainable way.

Once completed the project manager conducted a meeting ensure the complete satisfaction of the client. 

ATL completed the project in exactly 1 week and as usual delivered the project on time and cost.

"The Hospital produces over 10,000 meals for staff and patients a week, and it was important to us to have an expert partner in replacing our old flight dishwasher. The team were professional, flexible and knowledgeable, and installed the machine at a time suited to us. They completed on time and within budget despite some complications with our steam infrastructure on site, which they dealt with swiftly and sensibly. Many thanks to ATL.
