Thermo-Floor Prefabricate Offsite For HMP Moorland

Andy Powis, Business Development Executive at Thermo-Floor explains:”We were bought on board to provide 400 sheets of reinforced wire mesh with the underfloor heating pipe attached. Prefabricated offsite, the sheets are then shipped off to be precast into a concrete floor slab which can then be erected directly on site. Due to the secure nature of the environment, prisons are often constructed off site and the development at HMP Moorland is no different”.

“Underfloor heating is ideal in this type of environment, as it is set within the fabrication of the building so eliminates the need for wall mounted radiators and pipe work which can present safety issues in prisons. This project is very similar to the offsite work we did for HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire, but the difference is that project specified prefabricated underfloor heating into the pod of the complete cell instead of just the floor slab. Working on site and off site, Thermo-Floor has heating and cooling solutions for any project.”
