Firm is number one in contractor league tables after winning job to transform Manchester鈥檚 Terminal Two
A mammoth 拢450m deal to transform Terminal Two at Manchester airport has launched Laing O鈥橰ourke to the top of both contractor tables for August. The contractor also bagged a 拢100m contract to build a test centre for Jaguar Land Rover in Gaydon, Warwickshire, taking its tally to 拢550m last month.
In terms of total contract value, the haul means Laing O鈥橰ourke is 拢350m ahead of second placed Kier, who took the runner-up spot on both tables after winning 52 contracts across the commercial, housing, public, civils and industrial sectors. It was also another good month for Scottish-based Robertson Group, which rounds out podium places on both tables with 10 jobs worth 拢108m.
The total includes a 拢40m deal to build an office, residential and hotel scheme in Dundee 鈥� right next to the controversial delayed V&A museum 鈥� as part of the 拢1bn redevelopment of the city鈥檚 waterfront.
Shortly before its rebrand to Multiplex, Brookfield Multiplex took fourth place on both tables with a 拢100m contract to knock down and redevelop an office block in Whitechapel, east London, turning it into a mixed-use 19-storey commercial building.
But the contract was not enough for Multiplex to take fourth outright, with Carillion sharing the position after bagging a 拢100m deal for two high-rise residential towers on the Embankment waterfront regeneration scheme in Manchester.
Balfour Beatty won 拢99m worth of civil engineering deals to take sixth on the overall table, with Galliford Try sixth on the table without civils after winning contracts to build projects, including a 拢43m retirement village in Bristol and 拢27m worth of new houses on Peabody鈥檚 estate in Tower Hamlets.
