Everything in order for the law

By around 2007 it was clear that the force had outgrown its old custody suite and divisional headquarters at Queens Gardens in the centre of Hull.

In 2009, Humberside Police bought an eight-acre site – a former gasworks on the edge of town – with a plan to build a state-of-the-art new facility incorporating green technologies and innovative solutions for a building that has to withstand some pretty rough treatment.

Safe and secure

The new Clough Road police station has 40 cells, built to minimise potential harm to detainees and comply with tight Home Office guidelines.

For example, it includes a specialist fire misting system – the first of its kind installed in the UK – with ductwork to ensure detainees will be safe in the custody suite if a fire were to break out in one of the cells.

High levels of security have been designed in. This includes specialist glazing around the large areas of curtain wall, security bollards and gates, and electronic personnel access systems. 

Sustainable and local

The building achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating. It features sustainable drainage systems in the car park, wind turbines, green roofs, photovoltaic cells and a biomass boiler.

Both BAM and the customer were determined to make sure the local community benefitted from the project. That meant working with local sub-contractors and encouraging apprenticeships.  

But as Assistant Chief Officer Phil Goatley summed up: “The most important element to us is the quality of the build and finish of the custody suite which is excellent. The project management of the site as a whole has exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend BAM.”

Don't just take our word for it...

  • “We still have to agree the final contract but expect to bring it in under budget and we are pretty confident we can deliver a seven-figure underspend.”

    Phil Goatley, Assistant Chief Officer at Humberside Police told the Hull Daily Mail just before the project was handed over!
