Students visit Vinci Construction site at Swansea University

Plumbing students following a Level 2 course at Gower College Swansea recently went on a visit to a Vinci Construction site.

The company has secured the contract for the first phase of a £450m Science and Innovation Campus at Swansea University. During the visit the students had a health and safety induction, followed by a briefing on the design and build of the project. They then had the opportunity to walk around the site, looking at the different structures that were being built and first fix plumbing work.

Lecturer, Kelly Hinder, who accompanied the group, commented: “The visit was very beneficial to the group, as they could see what they learn in the classroom put into practice on a large scale.”
