Description of works – Building Maintenance & Roof Replacement
Following our successful roofing contract work completed at Scottish Water’s Balmore Water Treatment Works, we have recently completed another project for the water utility provider.
Renowned for our excellence in construction and maintenance services, we were contracted to undertake a comprehensive renovation project at the Dalmuir Waste Water Treatment Works. This project aimed to improve the structural integrity, safety, and operational efficiency of the facility. The scope of work encompassed various critical tasks, including internal and external renovations, structural strengthening, and safety installations. As a leading contractor specialising in complete land, sea & air asset maintenance works, we were able to complete this project inhouse using our dedicated team of roofing contractors, building maintenance specialists, industrial cleaning team and drone survey pilots.
