Amec to raise Bristol stakes
Article Abstract:
Construction contractor Amec is in dispute over up to 17 million pounds sterling of claims relating to a 36 million pounds sterling office scheme in Bristol, England, for insurance company Sun Life. If negotiations are not successful, Amec could issue an arbitration notice. It is coming under pressure for payment from subcontractors, and some subcontractors are supporting it in its dispute with Sun Life. The 42,000 sq mt design-and-build development was occupied by Sun Life in Dec 1996, 11 months late.

Amec poised to land Siemens plum
Article Abstract:
It is believed that electronics concern Siemens will award the design-and-manage contract for its 1.1 billion pounds sterling microchip plant at Wallsend, UK, to Amec. This is likely to be the largest building contract awarded in the UK in 1995, and Amec has faced strong competition from Tarmac and Sir Robert McAlpine.
