We Build Custom Cold Rooms[/caption]
Project Challenges:
- Live Operating Environment:The pastry kitchen remained operational throughout the build. We coordinated daily with hotel kitchen staff to maintain workflow with zero disruption to service.
- Dust & Debris Management:Special containment measures were implemented to ensure airborne dust, construction debris, and noise were kept to an absolute minimum — critical in a working hospitality kitchen.
- Complex Coordination:The site presented logistical and structural limitations. Precision scheduling and trade coordination were essential to meet the strict timeframe and avoid disrupting hotel operations.
Solution Delivered:
Acro delivered a turnkey refrigeration and construction package, including:
- Custom Design & Engineering of the new cool room to suit spatial and operational constraints
- Australian-made insulated panels for food-grade compliance and durability
- Demolition of the existing cool room structure
- New concrete flooring, integrated with existing drainage and floor waste systems
- Installation & commissioning of commercial refrigeration equipment
- All electrical works handled by our in-house electrical division
- Food-safe tiling throughout the interior
- BMS integration for remote monitoring and hotel system compatibility
