The CIOB Exeter Hub and Kier are delighted to host this event.
This will be an amazing opportunity to see up close and personal, how the prison expansion programme utilisies Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to create the new cell blocks. The expansion at HMP Channing's Wood will create an additional 494 prison places and will include the delivery of two new fully-electric, energy-efficient X-shaped T60 houseblocks that support the MOJ's continued commitment to reducing carbon emissions through efficient design.
Your host SImon Parsons, Project Director, Kier has been with the project since the pre-construction phase and will explain how different MMC approaches combine to make efficiencies to the delivery programme including pre-cast concrete and off-site manufactured building service risers. You will then get an opportunity to tour the new blocks to see first hand how these large buildings are put together.
This learning activity can contribute to your annual CPD return and should be logged accordingly. The theme of this event aligns to the CIOB Core theme of Sustainability and Quality.
