The scheme comprises the complete M&E installations inclusive of a fully co-ordinated 3D BIM design to LOD 6 for a new 158 cell Prisoner House-block, 1200 cover Kitchen, refurbished Healthcare facility, an Activities building and various external infrastructure/diversion works at HMP Stocken just North of Peterborough.

This is a really good opportunity for both Wates and the Dodd Group Eastern Region to continue to build on their positive relationship and partner together on this project for a combined success. We have already chosen to use off-site prefabrication for the manufacture and testing of the 27 fully serviced risers to the benefit of the programme overall and to ease some of the difficult logistical and resource constraints the project has"
