Case Study: CAD-Designed Kitchen Installation at a Kent Academy Trust

Detailed 3D CAD planning enabled Catercall to design, confirm, and deliver a full warewash and kitchen installation in a constrained space — on time and exactly to specification.

Case Study — Education & Academy Trusts

Project Overview

• Client: Academy Trust, Kent
• Scope: 3D CAD design, supply and installation of warewash equipment, bespoke stainless steel tabling and sinks
• Equipment: Maidaid Minirack Evolution (with drain pump and water softener); stainless steel fabrication by Seropa Ltd
• Project Manager: Alper Özyurt, Catercall
• Project Sales / Manager: Luke Mangold, Catercall

The Challenge: Maximising a Constrained Kitchen Space

The academy trust required a full warewash and kitchen installation into a limited space — a common challenge in school environments, where kitchens must accommodate a significant amount of equipment within a compact footprint. Getting the layout right before installation was essential to ensure everything would fit correctly and function efficiently from day one.

The Solution: 3D CAD Design to Confirm the Brief

Rather than proceeding directly to installation, Catercall produced detailed 3D CAD drawings to agree the final layout with the client before any equipment was ordered or delivered. This upfront investment in design accuracy delivered significant benefits on site:

• The customer could review and sign off the layout with confidence before works began
• Equipment and bespoke stainless steel tabling were ordered to precise, confirmed dimensions
• Installation proceeded without rework or adjustment, keeping the programme on schedule

Equipment installed: A Maidaid Minirack Evolution dishwasher — specified with a drain pump and water softener to suit the site conditions — alongside bespoke stainless steel tabling and sinks fabricated by Seropa Ltd.

The Result: Accurate, On-Time Delivery in a Demanding Environment

The volume and precision of equipment required for this project meant Catercall deployed its most experienced installation engineers on site. The result was a clean, accurate installation delivered on time — with every piece of equipment and fabricated steelwork fitting precisely as designed.

The 3D CAD approach proved its value on a project where limited space left no room for error. By resolving the layout at the design stage, the installation was straightforward, efficient, and completed to the client's full satisfaction.
