Network Rail has given Balfour Beatty an emergency repairs contract, worth up to £50m over the five-year term.
The reactive building and civils contract was awarded through Network Rail’s route building and civils framework. Requires Balfour Beatty to take on rail infrastructure pairs and projects along the Great Western route, between London and Penzance, at short notice.
To service the contract, starting in spring 2018, Balfour Beatty plans to open a new office in the Swindon area with a staff of eight working on the contract.
