The requirement
Temporary military kitchen facilities were required at Oakey Army Base in Queensland during a six-month upgrade of its permanent catering infrastructure.
Project contractor FKG needed a reliable solution to maintain AAFCANS food services throughout construction.
The temporary installation needed commercial cooking, food preparation, storage and dining facilities to ensure Defence personnel could continue accessing meals without disruption.
Our solution
Mobile Kitchens supplied modular commercial kitchen and dining facilities to support catering operations at Oakey Army Base.
The installation included a Hotline Kitchen, Triple Stores Module and Warewashing Module, providing dedicated areas for cooking, food storage and cleaning.
The temporary facilities operated independently of the refurbishment works, allowing AAFCANS to maintain catering services throughout the six-month project.
This modular approach provided a practical solution for maintaining essential food services at an operational Defence facility.
Equipment and features
The temporary kitchen installation included:
- Hotline Kitchen – Commercial cooking and meal preparation facilities.
- Triple Stores Module – Dedicated food storage facilities.
- Warewashing Module – Commercial dishwashing and cleaning equipment.
- Temporary Dining Facilities – Dining space for Defence personnel during refurbishment.
The modular configuration supported uninterrupted catering while the permanent facilities were upgraded.
