SOMMER manufactured and installed around 1,600 doors for the correctional centre including fire protection, smoke protection, prison cell and shaft room doors.
The opening took place as part of a modernisation of the prison system and is helping to improve prison conditions. The new prison centre, which was built on an 8.6 hectare site in the municipality of Sanem, offers space for 400 male pre-trial detainees and around 350 employees.
With its overall hexagonal shape, the complex meets the organisational and security requirements of the prison service. In addition, the buildings are equipped with thermal solar panels for heating water and photovoltaic panels installed on the roofs to generate electricity.
