  • City-REDI Policy Briefing Series
    City-REDI Policy Briefing Series March Image Image 2018 Part B Carillion’s Collapse: Consequences Dr Amir Qamar & Professor Simon Collinson Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, were proud of their commitment to support regional growth and small-scale suppliers. As part of this commitment they directed 60% of project expenditure to local economies. Following the collapse of the firm, this positive multiplier effect became a significant, negative multiplier effect, particularly damaging to small-scale suppliers in the construction industry. The aim of this policy brief is to examine the consequences of Carillion’s demise, many of which are only now surfacing. One of the fundamental lessons that we can learn from Carillion’s collapse is about these ‘contagion’ effects. As we saw in the 2008 financial crisis, the businesses that underpin the economic health of the country are connected and strongly co-dependent. When a large flagship firm falls it brings down others. This does not mean we need more state intervention. But it does mean we need more intelligent state intervention. One of the fundamental lessons that the Government can learn from the Carillion episode is that it has a significant responsibility as a key customer, using public sector funds for public sector projects, to monitor the health of firms and assess the risks prior to issuing PPI and other contracts. 1 Introduction The collapse of Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, has had a significant, negative knock-on effect, particularly on small-scale suppliers in the industry. In total, Carillion was comprised of 326 subsidiaries, of which 199 were in the UK.

Full text of the decision published on 15 May 2018. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. Tarmac Trading Limited (Tarmac) has agreed to acquire 27 ready-mix concrete (RMX) plants, a marine aggregates terminal at Briton Ferry (the Briton Ferry Wharf) as well as certain assets utilised in connection with the RMX plants and the Briton Ferry Wharf from Breedon Group PLC (Breedon) (the Merger). The acquired assets are together referred to as the Target Assets. Tarmac and the Target Assets are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that the Parties will cease to be distinct as a result of the Merger, that the share of supply test is met and that accordingly arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 3. The Parties overlap in the supply of: (i) primary aggregates which are used as base materials in the construction of roads, buildings, and other infrastructure, and are quarried from land or dredged from the sea; and (ii) RMX, which comprises a mix of aggregates, cement, and water supplied in ready-mix form.

  • Markets and the Structure of the Housebuilding Industry: an International Perspective
    Urban Studies, Vol. 40, Nos 5–6, 897–916, 2003 Markets and the Structure of the Housebuilding Industry: An International Perspective Michael Ball [Paper first received, November 2002; in final form, December 2002] Summary. This paper sets out to examine why the modern housebuilding industry is organised in the ways it is and to identify some implications for the wider operation of housing markets. It concentrates on advanced economies and the impacts of market conditions, regulatory con- straints, production characteristics, institutional structures and land supply. Widespread differ- ences occur across countries in the ways in which housebuilding is institutionally structured. It is argued that these differences are generally explicable in economic terms and that regulatory practices determine much of the variation.

The rapid erection cycle saw 60-80 bleachers installed in a working day, at the rate of roughly 5-8 minutes per bleacher. Included in the project were 3,625 seats including wheelchair spaces, as well as prefabricated ADA platforms. SPS bleachers and components were delivered in eighteen 40ft open top containers – 28 bleacher units per container pre-stacked in building sequence. A long-reach high capacity crane was used to lift the SPS bleacher units over the upper bowl and installed from each side onto new steel beams. spstechnology.com Stadiums + Arenas USTA Billie Jean King Project Type Terraces (bleachers) Grandstand redevelopment National Tennis Center Location Flushing Meadows, New York, US Grandstand Stadium Team ROSETTI, WSP Global (NY), AECOM Hunt September 2017 The 2016 US Open Tennis Championship marked the formal opening of the USTA’s new grandstand stadium at Flushing Meadow’s USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
