The contracts for the Department for Education are worth approximately 拢28m. The projects will be completed by winter 2017 and constructed using Yorkon factory-built modules.
Portakabin director Simon Ambler said: 鈥淭his is another milestone for the Portakabin Group and for the off-site sector.鈥�
He said: 鈥淥ff-site construction gives schools the benefits of considerable savings on programme because the sub and super structures are delivered simultaneously; it is safer because work off site is maximised, and the approach reduces disruption 鈥� which are all clear advantages when redeveloping fully operational school sites.鈥�
Three of the seven projects are now in the design stages. The first to start on site will be Pyrford Church of England Primary School in Woking.聽 A 拢5m primary school will be constructed to accommodate 480 children from the start of the 2016/17 academic year. It will replace an existing single-storey school, which will then be demolished.聽
