SCS’s work on HMP Maidstone included supporting the successful delivery of a new sports hall located within an operational category C prison.
SCS were instrumental in ensuring best practice and all BREEAM requirements were encompassed throughout the project.
The project saw the demolition of the prison’s existing swimming pool and associated building and the construction of a sports hall with gyms, courts, shower rooms, several offices and associated facilities.
SCS worked closely with the main contractor in both the BREEAM Assessor and an in-depth BREEAM AP role. These second of these goes far beyond a basic BREEAM service and focuses on hand-holding the team at every stage of the project.
The sustainability performance was maximised despite site constraints and planning requirements. A high degree of collaboration with the project team was instrumental in the delivery of BREEAM Excellent on the final building, and highlighted the critical expertise used in a highly regulated environment.
