Development on the Scottish Marine Technology Park (SMTP), has taken another important step forward, with the commencement of construction of a flood compensatory basin at the Old Kilpatrick site.
Groundworks and civil engineering specialists, Advance Construction Scotland, have been appointed to carry out these works.
The proposed SMTP site consists of almost 50 acres of developable space which will have direct access to the deep-water channel via a heavy lift quay. It will provide a unique environment for world-leading innovators in the marine industry to co-locate and collaborate to reinvigorate the shipbuilding and renewable industries on the banks of the Clyde.
Envisaged to be one of the first occupiers on the site, Malin Group have already successfully secured planning consent for a facility to host their specialist fabrication, welding and priming and finishing business units at the west end of the site.
