Princess Royal Theatre

Client

Morgan Sindall

Project Type

Temporary Hoarding

Location

Port Talbot, UK

Sector

The Background

Procter Contracts was appointed to provide a robust, fully reusable hoarding solution for the Princess Royal Theatre site in Port Talbot. The brief required:

  • A 2.4m high recycled plastic modular hoarding system capable of lasting the full two-year project duration

  • Secure perimeter protection while supporting ongoing site operations and public access requirements

  • Flexibility for phased construction works and integration of access gates

The system comprised:

  • 6mm black recycled plastic panels

  • 60x60mm galvanised steel posts

  • Galvanised braces, top rails, and pelmets

  • Free-standing installation on concrete kentledge blocks

Gate installation included:

  • 3 × 4m double-leaf mesh gates

  • 1 × 8m double-leaf mesh gate

  • 1 × 6m double-leaf mesh gate

  • 4 × 1.2m single-leaf mesh gates

The Solution

Procter Contracts delivered a sustainable, modular hoarding system that met technical, operational, and environmental requirements:

  • Fully reusable panels capable of redeployment on future projects, supporting circular economy practices

  • Designed for a two-year life span with scheduled maintenance intervals to ensure ongoing structural integrity

  • Structural adaptability to integrate mesh access gates and adjust to phased works

  • Compatibility with high-profile town-centre regeneration projects, including Levelling Up-funded schemes

The project also included six additional kentledge blocks to prevent vehicle access near sensitive areas adjacent to the church.

Challenges & Collaboration

The project presented multiple site-specific challenges:

  • Live town-centre environment: All works required careful planning to maintain public safety

  • Extensive buried services: All hoarding elements had to be free-standing with no ground fixings

  • High pedestrian footfall: Access gates had to be positioned to maintain unobstructed public movement

Mitigation and collaboration measures included:

  • Bespoke structural design calculations with engineer Mathew Stevenson

  • Phased delivery and installation scheduling to minimise disruption

  • Experienced in-house hoarding installers ensuring quality, consistency, and safety

  • Close liaison with Morgan Sindall, the local authority, and structural engineers

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

  • Panels made from 100% recycled plastic, reducing environmental footprint

  • Fully reusable fixings, supports, and gate systems eliminated material waste

  • Modular design allowed relocation and redeployment on future projects

  • Aligned with Neath Port Talbot Council’s sustainable civic regeneration objectives

The Result or Feedback

Procter Contracts successfully:

  • Delivered a modular, reusable hoarding system for secure site operations

  • Maintained pedestrian safety in a high footfall location

  • Ensured visual uniformity while allowing operational flexibility

  • Completed installation safely, on time, and aligned with the broader regeneration programme

The project demonstrated Procter’s ability to mobilise rapidly, deliver safely, and adapt to complex urban constraints.
