The New Prison at Full Sutton

Howard Civil Engineering has been awarded a £12m package to assist with the delivery of a new category C prison at Full Sutton, near Pocklington in East Yorkshire, which will hold around 1,500 prisoners.

This will be the first prison in the UK to run solely on electricity, with solar panels and heat pump technology, meaning it will use around 70% less energy than previous new build prisons.

Our works include the delivery of the foundation and substructure works associated with the ancillary buildings, the installation of internal cast iron surface and foul water drainage servicing the ancillary buildings, and the external services, ducts and chamber works servicing the ancillary buildings.

Although the new prison is being built next to the existing HMP Full Sutton, it will be a separate facility, with its own identity and name. The prison is set to open in 2025.
