Including the strip out of existing services and finishes back to the shell, the extensive refurbishment also consists of reinstating upgraded ITS systems, drainage and water supplies, new doors, flooring and windows.

All works are being carried out in a live hospital environment, meaning strategic co-ordination of various phases of the works to ensure any disruption of the ward area is kept to a minimum.

Redpath said it is looking forward to delivering the project on time and building its relationship with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

The contract is the latest in a series of new project wins with the business recently being appointed by British Land to carry out a range of refurbishment and improvement projects at Glasgow Fort.
