SES' dedicated offsite manufacturing facility, Prism, will be used on the project with a proposed 4,900 man-hours being removed from site.

Colin Walker, SES' Business Director Scotland, said: "Central to securing this project was our focus on pre-construction activities and our ability to take ownership of the design process, and our expert team looks forward to working with the client team to deliver the best end result."

The project is scheduled for completion in June 2018.
