Ford Dunton Technical Centre

Vibrant modern hub.

Rolton was appointed to provide Mechanical & Electrical (MEP) engineering design services for the refurbishment of the restaurant and dining area at the Ford Dunton Technical Centre in Essex, where the site has seen significant transformation, consolidating its UK Headquarters.

Originally contracted solely for the seating area, thanks to the quality of work presented, Rolton also undertook a far wider remit to provide engineering services for the restaurant kitchen, dining, breakout and concourse areas as part of the refurbishment project. By including breakout space as well as dining space, the facility is a modern and vibrant hub, where staff can hold meetings, eat and socialise.

• Key ventilation solution required as part of the kitchen facility was used during construction; phased handover required
• Smart screens with IP control and centrally controlled display screen included in project
• RIBA Stage 3 designs for D&B tender
• Regular project team meetings and workshop/review meetings held throughout the project to ensure smooth progression
• Conducted snagging inspections as works completed and monitored rectification works required on behalf of the client

Rolton also provided support to Principal Designer and Project Manager, Arcadis throughout the procurement process for contractors; reviewing proposals and design information to help inform appointment decisions.
