Mowlem Educates Children
Mowlem educates children on a visit to £30.8m National Waterfront Development in Swansea. The schoolchildren of Ysgol Pen-y-Groes in Llanelli enjoyed their educational day at the Development.
The Mowlem team, along with Mowlem's mascot 'Mole M', highlighted the dangers of playing on a construction site and gave the eager schoolchildren a guided tour of this exciting development School teacher Andrew Morgan commented: "Mowlem has been great, it is always encouraging to see a contractor demonstrating the dangers of playing on a construction site to young children and Mole M has certainly added fun to a very serious message." When completed, the museum will tell the story of Wales' industrial and maritime heritage and its role in shaping today's economy and society

Barclay Mowlem, international arm of Mowlem plc and a joint venture partner of ADrail, has recently completed trackwork for the 1,420 km Alice Springs to Darwin Railway project.
The museum will incorporate much of the Grade II listed warehouse, former home of the Swansea Maritime and Industrial Museum.
The project involves the construction of a new gallery building and refurbishment of the existing SMIM Building, providing a mixed-use facility including all new finishes, services and ancillary spaces.
The project includes upgrading of the exterior, through landscaped parklands and a waterfront terrace, which will be added to its dockside frontage overlooking the collection of historic ships, with a glazed linkage to the series of new two-storey galleries clad in Welsh glass and slate.
Improved pedestrian links to the City Centre will also be incorporated.
The Museum will be the centrepiece of the redevelopment of Swansea's Maritime Quarter.
The museum will enhance the marina area, creating 2000 jobs and attracting an additional 250,000 visitors each year.
