  • 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.

While these challenges are substantial, they also present a unique opportunity for companies that develop, service and sustain our urban areas. The UK is recognised as a global leader in smart cities primarily because of its creativity and the technological expertise of its human capital. As a result of this, UK companies are regularly solicited by international partners at the highest level to counsel, advise on and implement smart city developments and innovations. The UK technology companies’ leading edge in this field has been built on five key pillars namely access to a growing market – both domestic and international, consumers/users receptive to adopting new technology, high quality infrastructure, a strong regulatory environment and targeted innovation support.

  • 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.
