Electrical services for a live Corrections redevelopment

Foleys delivered electrical services as part of the enabling works programme for the Christchurch Men’s Prison redevelopment, working alongside Naylor Love on an active Corrections site.

The scope included the relocation of existing services and electrical installation works associated with new modular facilities, workshops, offices, shower blocks, and farm buildings outside the main prison wire.

Working within the prison environment requires extensive planning before works commence. The Foleys team worked within Corrections access requirements, including security clearances, permits, controlled site access, and tool tracking procedures.

The project also included support for associated services, including the relocation of LPG infrastructure and the installation of heat pump systems for modular accommodation buildings.

This project forms part of a staged redevelopment programme delivered within a live Corrections environment.

Foleys were a valuable contributor throughout the project, maintaining clear and consistent communication at both site supervisor and management levels.

Their solutions-focused approach helped identify and address scope gaps and missing information early, working collaboratively across multiple disciplines to keep the project progressing.

Foleys also demonstrated a strong understanding of working within the constraints of a live prison environment, providing flexibility and adapting their delivery to suit the operational requirements of the site.
