Portakabin has won a 拢44m deal to supply a three-school campus for the 23,000鈥� 鈥嬧�媘2 Riverside Schools scheme in east London. It is Portakabin鈥檚 sixth contract for Barking & Dagenham
鈥嬧�婽he campus will be fabricated from Yorkon modular building components at the factory in York. It will provide space for a 10-form entry secondary school standing five-storeys high, as well as a 630-place primary school, a鈥� 鈥媠pecial educational needs school and a nursery.
The schools will be constructed from 387 steel-framed modules, craned in over two phases starting in spring 2016. The largest module will be 18.75 metres long and weigh 20 tonnes.
Portakabin director Simon Ambler said:鈥� 鈥淲e expect this project to change the鈥� 鈥媐ace of off-site construction in the education sector. 鈥婭t demonstrates really well how Yorkon鈥� 鈥媌uilding solutions can be used to meet the urgent provision of school places 鈥� and for a鈥� 鈥媠cheme of this scale and complexity.鈥�
