General

On refurbishment projects a survey of the existing drainage system should be considered to determine whether any cleaning is necessary or whether adaptations are required to cope with the increased discharge from any new equipment.

New and refurbished kitchens must comply with the requirements of BS 6173: 2001 - Specification for installation of gas-fired catering appliances for use in all types of catering establishments.

Storage

Check storage requirements when building is occupied by more than one user. Storage cupboards must not be used to house M&E plant or equipment unless agreed with the OCC Project Leader.

Extract fans

Ensure that extract fans are not sited in a position where the noise will cause a disturbance to adjacent occupied rooms.
