Main construction at HMP Stocken has begun following completion of enabling works. The Rutland project will include a 206-bed house block, a kitchen, an activities building and an extension to existing car parking facilities.
The new development will be delivered to BIM level 2 and is scheduled for completion in summer 2018.
“We have worked closely with the Ministry of Justice to develop a design and build programme that will meet their needs for a robust, secure and fit-for-purpose housing block at HMP Stocken,” said Ian Vickers, managing director of Wates Construction Home Counties.
“Our meticulous approach to this project and our application of BIM level 2 will ensure an effective and efficient build programme, an approach upon which we have built our reputation as a trusted and expert contractor for the government sector.”
HMP Stocken was built near Oakham in 1985 as a young offender institution. Through six previous building expansion programmes since then, it has substantially expanded. This is its seventh expansion.
