Concrete engineering company Milbury Systems has been awarded a £37,000 contracted by Patton Construction to design, supply and install a vertical cantilever soil retaining wall on site of the new Castle Douglas primary school in Dumfries and Galloway.

Concrete for the wall will be manufacture at Milbury's production plant in Lydney, Gloucetsershire and transported up to Castle Douglas in Scotland for installation in February.

The original Castle Douglas primary school, which was built in 1934, is being demolished to make way for a new upgraded building on the site which is set on the outskirts of Castle Douglas. The school is set to open in 2009.
