What public records show for food service in Chesapeake

  1. Past emergency

    Hurricane Matthew (2016)

    FEMA declared major disaster DR-4291, hurricane matthew, on November 2, 2016 for the City of Chesapeake, for an incident that began October 7, 2016. It is one of 5 major disaster declarations covering the city since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.

  2. Major construction

    Road construction in Chesapeake

    VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "I-64/I-464 Interchange Exit 291 Ramp Improvements" on Hampton Roads Beltway in the City of Chesapeake at an estimated $140.0 million. The project is under construction, with completion listed for November 2027. Work zones like this can change how a truck reaches a site, so we check active VDOT work before planning a delivery. A long public project can also bring crews to the area, and a caterer or facility feeding them could add a mobile kitchen trailer for the duration.

  3. Major renovation

    Rebuilding local roads and bridges

    VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "Deep Creek Bridge Replacement" on Dominion Boulevard in the City of Chesapeake at an estimated $79.4 million. The project is under construction, with completion listed for September 2027. Reconstruction like this keeps the route open for heavy deliveries. Kitchen renovations follow the same pattern: when a school, hospital, or care-home kitchen in Chesapeake is rebuilt, a temporary kitchen on site covers meal service until the work is done.

  4. Emergency equipment access

    Getting equipment to Chesapeake

    Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; Chesapeake lies about 88 miles southeast of it in a straight line. Locally, the City of Chesapeake's emergency management office leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Chesapeake is in VDOT's Hampton Roads District, and we plan routes around its active work zones, as we do for nearby Portsmouth and Virginia Beach. We confirm the route, gate access, and placement area with your team before dispatch.

  5. Local rental costs

    Kitchen trailer rental costs in Chesapeake

    Starting monthly rates on our current price list, which applies to Chesapeake and every other Virginia location: mobile kitchen trailers $4,995 / month, dishwashing trailers $4,995 / month, and refrigerated trailers $1,895 / month. Your quote adds delivery, setup, and pickup for your site. See the full price reference.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project

Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Chesapeake

A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Chesapeake's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.

  1. 1. Situation

    A 4-month project at an assisted living community's kitchen in Chesapeake, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.
  2. 2. Trailer setup

    A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.
  3. 3. Site and delivery

    VDOT lists "I-64/I-464 Interchange Exit 291 Ramp Improvements" on Hampton Roads Beltway as construction started through November 2027, so the delivery plan would check that work zone and pick a truck route around it. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.
  4. 4. Timeline

    Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 4 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.
  5. 5. Estimated rental cost

    40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
