The contract involves design, programme management, construction and technical support for National Grid’s electricity network, drawing on resources from across the Balfour Beatty group.
Balfour Beatty and National Grid formed the Electricity Alliance East (EAE) partnership five years ago to deliver long-term stability to much of the UK network. Work involves maintenance and refurbishment of overhead transmission lines, as well as designing and delivering upgrade plans across the network.
Balfour Beatty chief executive Ian Tyler said of the contract extension: “National Grid is one of our longest held relationships and we are delighted at their decision to extend the long-term partnership with Balfour Beatty. This further reinforces a strong, strategic alliance bringing continuing value as well as ongoing certainty to a core element of the UK’s infrastructure.”
