Modular Building Systems (MBS)

Overview

Fleetwood specialise in the manufacture and installation of modular prison buildings, prison cells and correctional centres. Providing a full turn-key solution to clients, Fleetwood place stringent requirements on risk minimisation, cell and fire safety plus security.

Fleetwood is a leading provider in the field of modular building systems (MBS), particularly in the area of prison infrastructure. With our expertise in the manufacture and installation of modular prison buildings, prison cells, and correctional centers, we offer comprehensive turn-key solutions to our clients.

Solution

By utilising a modular building system (MBS), Fleetwood brings numerous advantages to the construction of prison buildings. Modular construction involves the fabrication of building components off-site in a controlled factory environment. These components, or modules, are then transported to the construction site for assembly. This approach offers several benefits for prison infrastructure projects.

Firstly, the modular building system (MBS) allows for enhanced precision and quality control. The controlled factory environment ensures that each module is manufactured to exact specifications, minimising errors and ensuring consistency across the entire project. This results in higher quality structures that meet rigorous industry standards.

Additionally, modular construction significantly reduces construction time compared to traditional on-site building methods. Since modules are built simultaneously in the factory while site preparation is underway, the overall construction schedule is expedited. This time-saving advantage is particularly valuable in prison construction projects where timeliness is crucial.

Benefits

Modular building systems (MBS) also contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly construction process. The off-site fabrication reduces material waste and minimises disturbance to the surrounding environment. Fleetwood is committed to employing greener building methods, which not only benefits the environment but also aligns with the sustainability goals of many correctional facilities.

Furthermore, the modular nature of the buildings allows for flexibility and scalability. Prisons often require expansion or reconfiguration to accommodate changing needs and inmate populations. With modular construction, it is easier to add or remove modules as necessary, providing a cost-effective solution for future modifications.
