Contract Value: £2.4 million
Client: Dyfed Powys Police
F P Hurley delivered the mechanical services for Dyfed Powys Police’s brand new police station with an 18-cell custody suite unit. The modern and sustainable building provides excellent facilities to meet the needs of modern law enforcement and detainee wellbeing. The 2 storey facility will provide 18 custody suites, office space, interview rooms and virtual courts and will house around 180 staff.
