Project Brief

This project provides Surrey Police with a new Custody Centre. The works comprise fit out of an existing Client owned warehouse building into a Police Custody Facility with 24 cells, charge area, vehicle dock, plant rooms, ancillary rooms for staff and solicitors, reception and a locker room with washing areas.

A key part of the building is the provision of the cells for which Mace has developed in conjunction with supplier Wernick a prefabricated solution. Integration of the ICT is also a key element of the project and Mace sought early agreement to enable the client’s installer to commence works with a successful early handover of the TER (Technical Equipment Room).

“I am writing to thank you personally and on behalf of Surrey Police for the outstanding work that Mace team carried out in the design and construction of our Salfords Custody Centre.”
