66 weeks
Project Overview
Client: Kier Construction
Project Name: HMP Channings Wood
Location: Newton Abbott
Sector: Custodial
Project Value: £18M
Project Period: 66 weeks
The Project is to expand Channings Wood Prison creating an additional 494 prison places and 15 new associated ancillary buildings. The additional prisoners will be housed within two new T60 blocks.
The site is complex featuring a large existing prison, live services, excavating rock, working with prison staff, testing and disposal of contaminated ground, all in line with our environmental and sustainability obligations.
The project was fast-tracked by MoJ and Kier, meaning proactive design development and management was vital and a key client requirement.
