Our Capabilities - Construction Services

Construction Services

We have a strong construction capability that interlinks with our other capabilities. Our integrated approach enables us to optimise whole life costs for new buildings and infrastructure, providing overall best value for Carillion's customers.

Our markets include:
 

Education
Carillion has built, or we are in the process of building, some 150 new or refurbished schools and academies. Many of these have been Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects.

Health
We have delivered 13 PPP hospitals with two more PPP hospitals under construction, notably the new Southmead Hospital in Bristol.

Roads
We hold contracts for the Highways Agency's Managed Motorways programme as well as long-term maintenance contracts. A recent project has been the upgrade of the A1 in Yorkshire to motorway standards.

Rail
We have the capability to build or maintain all elements of rail infrastructure. We recently completed the East London Line with a joint venture partner. Past projects include the Channel Tunnel, Docklands Light Railway and the North London Line.

Civil Engineering
We cover all types of civil engineering works, from flood defences to transport improvements, and from airports to industrial projects. We have pioneered the use of partnership and framework agreements.

Commercial buildings
We have built many iconic buildings over decades, as Carillion brings together the heritage of Tarmac, Wimpey, Mowlem and Alfred McAlpine.

Industrial buildings
Our record includes power stations, smelters, oil terminals, and the distinctive buildings of the Eden Project in Cornwall.

Military accommodation
Currently we are building two major PPP projects for the UK Ministry of Defence: Allenby Connaught, which involves building and refurbishing Army accommodation, and the Royal School of Military Engineering.
