Secure space, added fast
Secure Pods
Anti-ligature, anti-barricade modular and container units for custodial and secure estates.
Overview
Built offsite, installed on yours
Secure pods are engineered for custodial, mental health and high-risk settings. Steel-framed shells and converted 20 and 40ft containers are specified from the outset with anti-ligature fixtures, anti-barricade doors, secure glazing and tamper-proof services, then installed by teams cleared to EL1 or higher, around the live regime and to MoJ standards.
