Project Overview
HMP Grampian is a purpose-built prison for men, women and young offenders, designed to be community-facing.
Built on the site of the former HMP Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the prison consists of four house blocks:
- one for adult men, with 372 ensuite cells, 11 single cells and supporting offices and facilities
- one for adult women, including 54 ensuite cells and associated support facilities
- a block for young offenders, with 78 ensuite cells and associated support facilities
- a community integration unit, for trusted prisoners close to their release date, that includes 10 rooms for men and five for women, with three communal living spaces, kitchens and laundries.
The electrical installation includes the complete setup of power distribution, lighting, and security systems to ensure safety and reliability. It involves installing main and sub-distribution boards, energy-efficient lighting, emergency power backup, grounding systems, and secure wiring for restricted areas. Specialized systems such as CCTV, access control, fire alarms, and perimeter lighting are integrated to support 24/7 operations and maintain high security in accordance with electrical and safety standards.
