Case Study: Modular Building Project – Neath

Client: Education Sector
Location: Neath, Wales
Service: Groundworks & Modular Building Installation

Project Overview

Cals Construction was appointed to carry out the full groundworks and installation for a modular classroom building at a school in Neath. The project required a rapid turnaround, minimal disruption, and a durable, future-proof finish — all within a live school environment.

Our Approach:

Groundworks:

We began by preparing the site, which included excavation, levelling, and laying the foundation pad to precise specifications. All groundworks were completed with minimal disruption to the day-to-day running of the school, ensuring the site remained safe and secure throughout.

Service Installation:

Our team coordinated the integration of essential services including drainage, ducting, and electrical feeds to support the modular unit. Attention to detail was key, with every connection carefully installed and tested before handover.

Modular Unit Installation:

Once the groundwork was complete, the modular structure was craned into position and securely installed. We ensured all access points and safety features — including new ramps, steps, and secure fencing — were fully compliant and user-friendly.

The Result:

The finished building provides a clean, modern space that meets the demands of a growing school. With sleek cladding, anti-slip walkways, and vibrant fencing, the project not only functions well but looks the part too.

Delivered on time and to budget, the Neath modular project is a great example of Cals Construction’s ability to coordinate groundworks and modular installs with speed, safety, and attention to detail.
