BAM 2e plek februari UK
Kier surged to the top of the February leagues after it bagged two prison jobs worth a combined £800m.
The contractor signed contracts worth a total of £961.9m, more than three times the value of deals won by its nearest competitor, according to construction data provider Glenigan.
Of the 11 contracts Kier signed in February, the largest was a £683.8m job to build the new HMP Glasgow as a replacement for the ageing HMP Barlinnie.
Kier expects to complete the job in 2028, and had been carrying out early works on the site since October. The new prison will have capacity for 1,344 inmates.
The tier one contractor also bagged a second prison job worth £116m last month – to build two houseblocks, a workshop and storage buildings at HMP Lancaster Farms in Lancashire.
Royal Bam and Graham took second and third spots respectively, largely thanks to a £389m job to build a new hospital in Belfast.
The new facility will replace an existing children’s hospital at the city’s Royal Victoria Hospital.
A joint venture between Graham and Bam Ireland, called GBHP, began the five-year job in February. The 10-floor hospital will have 155 beds in total and 10 theatres, plus an emergency department that the Northern Ireland Executive said will be able to treat up to 45,000 children every year.
In total, Royal Bam snapped up six projects in February, with a total value of £281.9m.
