Waikeria Prison

Back

Waikeria Prison due for completion in 2021 for Department of Corrections, was designed by Mode architects and Robert Bird Group Engineers, with head contractor CPB Contractors. For efficiency of construction a modular approach was taken with the precast concrete cells pre-fabricated in the Concretec factory and delivered as either single or double cells. These were design to be "stacked" on site to create a two level structure.
