This project aimed to replace windows in three wings of the facility, two of which were fully occupied by inmates throughout the duration of the project. The primary objective was to enhance the safety, security, and living conditions of the inmates while adhering to strict security protocols and ensuring minimal disruption to the daily operations of the institution.
The entire structural repairs and refurbishment project was costed at £200,000.

Sanper Construction LTD initiated the project by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the facility, understanding the specific requirements, and outlining a detailed plan to execute the cell window replacement. The team collaborated closely with HMPPS officials, security personnel, and facility management to devise a strategy that ensured the safety and security of inmates, staff, and the construction team.
Security Protocols
Given the sensitive nature of the project's location, Sanper Construction LTD implemented strict security protocols. All construction personnel underwent background checks and received specialized training on interacting with inmates and adhering to institutional regulations. Entry and exit procedures were strictly monitored, and tools and materials were subject to rigorous inspection to prevent any potential security breaches.
Phased Approach
To minimize disruption, the project was divided into carefully planned phases. Each phase targeted specific wings, allowing the construction team to focus on a limited area at a time. This approach ensured that the remaining wings were fully functional during the construction process, and inmates were relocated within the facility to accommodate the project's progression.
Inmate Safety and Welfare
Sanper Construction LTD prioritized inmate safety and welfare throughout the project. The team maintained regular communication with prison staff to ensure that inmates were informed about the ongoing construction activities and any necessary precautions to take. The company also scheduled construction activities around the daily routines of the inmates to minimize disturbances.
Quality and Compliance
Industry standards and regulations were strictly adhered to throughout. All materials used met safety and durability requirements, and workmanship was of the highest quality. The company conducted regular inspections and tests to guarantee compliance with project specifications and safety standards.
Challenges included ensuring inmate safety, maintaining security, minimizing disruption to daily operations, adherence to security protocols, a tight schedule, and coordination with multiple stakeholders.
