| Balfour Beatty Awarded Two Contracts Valued at £170 Million Balfour Beatty, the international engineering, construction and services group, announces that its road management and maintenance company, RCS, has been awarded extensions to two of its long-term local authority road maintenance contracts, adding £170 million to its forward order book. The highways maintenance contract for North Yorkshire County Council, which was awarded in January 2002, has been extended by four years from 2008 to 2012. The extension will be worth approximately £140 million and covers almost 8,000 kilometres of country roads and over 1,500 bridges. The scope of the contract covers carriageway and footway maintenance, winter maintenance, street lighting and emergency response. In Hampshire, the extension of the contract, which began in 2002, is for one year to 2008 and is worth approximately £30 million. It covers the maintenance of county roads and covers a similar scope of work to the north Yorkshire contract. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
