This project was awarded to CHAP Group (Aberdeen) Ltd in October 2018. Works started on site in December 2018 and reached completion in December 2019 – some 3 months ahead of schedule.
The original Scalloway fish market, which was built in the 1970’s and refurbished and extended in the 1990s, was demolished and replaced with a state-of-the-art building.

A new facility was desperately needed as the amount of fish being landed rose by 600% between 2004 and 2015. Vessels were often turned away and were unable to land their catch due to lack of capacity.

The works included:

  • Construction of a steel framed building with welfare facilities
  • Construction of three chilled compartments with transport corridor
  • Construction of lorry loading bays
  • Construction and surfacing of yard area and deck slab
  • Retaining walls
  • Full installation of lighting, electrical services and all plumbing and water connections
