Totty Construction has secured its single largest project to date with the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), with an £11.2m scheme to upgrade accommodation blocks at HMP YOI Hindley, near Wigan.
The project has been awarded by NOMS as part of a seven-year partnering framework deal with Totty to encompass refurbishment, alteration, extension, planned maintenance and minor works projects for the Service's North-West region.
Totty Construction will strip out and refurbish four four-storey accommodation blocks at Hindley in a phased project, with each block being re-roofed and with all M&E services replaced throughout.
The scheme encompasses refurbishment across a total of 256 cells - 32 of which will be converted to Safer Cells (anti self-harm cells), in addition to communal recreational areas and the upgrade of all shower facilities.
A new steel frame fire escape will be constructed at the rear of each accommodation block and general refurbishment work carried out within existing offices, the chapel, gym and laundry areas.
The project is due to commence on site early April, with work completed by November 2008.
