DIO Completes Upgrades To Welsh Training Facility

Construction News Image
Work to upgrade facilities at Caerwent Training Area in Wales is now complete, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has announced.

The building improvements cost £150,000 and will help make training more efficient while also saving money.

Features of the project included installing electrical cabling points, lighting and heatings, as well as showers and toilets to a number of buildings.

The work was due to be delivered through a 12 week programme, but this was reduced to five weeks to allow the army to benefit from the improvements in time for its next exercise.

The site at Caerwent is used three times a year and in the past temporary facilities were brought in to support the team managing the training.

The works were carried out by contractor MSH Building.

Col Richard Howard-Gash said: "DIO's role is to maximise the potential of the defence estate to support the armed forces. The improvements to the site at Caerwent training area will benefit those managing training exercises hugely."
