Project Overview
Major Oak Construction was appointed to deliver specialist MOJ civils and infrastructure works at HMP Sudbury. Working within a live, operational prison environment, our team managed complex groundworks and structural requirements while adhering to the highest standards of security and safety.
The Challenge
- Secure Environment: Operating within a live custodial facility required strict adherence to MOJ security protocols and controlled movement of personnel and materials.
- Operational Continuity: Ensuring that construction activities did not disrupt the day-to-day operations of the prison staff or facilities.
- Compliance: Meeting rigorous health and safety standards specific to high-risk, regulated environments.
Our Solution
- Vetted Workforce: Utilised a team where 90% of operatives hold the necessary security clearances to work on MOJ sites.
- Proactive Planning: Implemented detailed logistics and access plans to manage restricted entry points and secure site segregation.
- Specialist Expertise: Delivered precise groundwork and civil engineering packages, including foundations and site preparation, tailored to custodial specifications.
Results
- Safe Delivery: Project completed with zero safety incidents, maintaining full compliance with MOJ and CHAS standards.
- Minimal Disruption: Works were phased successfully to allow the facility to remain fully operational throughout the build.
- Quality Outcome: High-quality infrastructure delivered on time, reinforcing Major Oak’s reputation as a trusted partner for the Ministry of Justice.
