| Gammon Construction to build Government Complex in Hong Kong Balfour Beatty announces that Gammon Construction, Hong Kong's construction company, in which Balfour Beatty has a 50% interest, has been awarded the contract for the design and construction of the new Central Government Complex for Hong Kong - known as the Tamar Development Project. The contract, which will be executed in joint venture with Hip Hing Construction, is worth HK$4.94 billion (£320 million). The project involves the design and construction of the Central Government Complex, the Legislative Council Complex, a major recreational open space, two elevated walkways and car parking and ancillary facilities. The design provides a unifying architectural composition within which each of the principal buildings will have their own unique designs and identity. The total gross floor area will be approximately 130,000m². At its height, over 3,000 people will be working on site. The project is scheduled for completion in 2011. Gammon Construction is 50% owned by Balfour Beatty and 50% by Jardine Matheson, the major Asian trading and manufacturing group. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
