Private Client - Leading Edge Food Processing Facility, Chef Training, Broadcast Studio & Customer Welcome Center

Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has established ambitious goals for the year 2030, to advance many industries and their economy. This Client is an industry leader in food production and was seeking to transform their food production facilities. BDG has worked in the Middle East previously to help other Clients to design facilities and projects to establish new higher standards for their industries. We were honored when this Client contacted us to engage our help to lead the design and engineering of a food production facility that would become a destination to see the highest standards in food production; the project will establish new standards of quality control, exceeding the Kingdoms goals for 2030.

BDG assembled a team of expert engineers for the project and collaborated with a talented Food & Pharmaceuticals Process Engineering firm from Belgium and Singapore to plan the project. The project included evaluating all recipes for each product to determine the ingredients and exact process flow, followed by equipment selection to achieve the desired finished products and capacities. This led to the layout of the space to support the creation of each food product. The critical zones of care within the building are designed to ensure the highest quality of finished products for their customer.

From the food processing, capacity, and workflow analysis, we were able to determine the building layout and size required to achieve the project’s desired goals of a 250% production capacity increase. An important new element of the Processing Facility is the new Customer Welcome Center. The public can schedule a visit to the facility to learn how the products are made. The Visitor Experience includes a Test Kitchen & Broadcast Studio for cooking demonstrations that can be streamed “live.” Adjacent to the Test Kitchen is a space that includes an area for customers to dine and enjoy an outdoor garden oasis within the industrial complex.
