HARP<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Construction will start in 2026 on the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP), a \u00a33bn upgrade of a critical water pipeline running from the Lake District to Greater Manchester. The programme will be the UK\u2019s first major project delivered through a new public-private partnership model, Direct Procurement for Customers.<\/p>\n

Six sections of the 110km tunnel, which provides water to millions of customers throughout north-west England, need replacing. In September, Cascade Infrastructure Ltd, a joint venture between Austrian contractor Strabag\u2019s UK arm and investor Equitix, secured the contract to finance and build the infrastructure, in addition to maintaining it over the next 25 years.<\/p>\n

As the government explores its options for attracting private finance into infrastructure, the project will provide a crucial testbed for a new generation of public-private ventures.<\/p>\n

Heathrow\/UK airports<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The idea of a third runway at the UK\u2019s biggest airport has been bouncing around for decades without taking off but it gained a new lease of life last year after chancellor Rachel Reeves wholeheartedly threw her weight behind the plans.<\/p>\n

Just before last November\u2019s Budget, the government said that it favoured Heathrow\u2019s proposal for a 3,500-metre third runway plus extra terminal complex west of Terminal 5, with completion targeted for 2035. Transport secretary Heidi Alexander said Heathrow\u2019s plan had been selected to underpin a review of the Airports National Policy Statement, which is required before applying for development consent.<\/p>\n

While the selection of Heathrow\u2019s scheme enables the policy review to continue, it does not amount to final approval. In the meantime, contractors can look further south to Gatwick airport, which won approval in September to build a second operational runway costing a more humble \u00a32.2bn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Data centres<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The explosion in artificial intelligence has created unprecedented demand for data centres. Contractors have already started reaping the benefits of mammoth investment, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. CN<\/em>\u2019s inbox was flooded this year with news of multibillion pound investments in UK digital infrastructure from some of the world\u2019s biggest companies, such as Microsoft and Amazon.<\/p>\n

In August, the pipeline was valued at more than \u00a336bn, with dozens of projects still searching for a contractor. However, many of these projects still require planning permission, which may prove tricky amid growing public concern about the structures\u2019 water and energy use.<\/p>\n

Even contractors not involved in data centre builds may want to keep an eye on how builds are progressing \u2013 consultancy Turner & Townsend warned recently that the power demands of data centres are starting to create as many problems for the viability of nearby projects as funding and planning.<\/p>\n

\n

Great Grid Upgrade<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All those new data centres will add to an unprecedented demand for energy transmission. Next year, National Grid will ramp up its Great Grid Upgrade, which it is calling the \u201clargest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations\u201d.<\/p>\n

The project comprises 17 major infrastructure projects transporting electricity from renewable sources across the UK through overhead lines and undersea cables.<\/p>\n

Laing O\u2019Rourke, Morgan Sindall and Murphy were among seven firms appointed to a \u00a39bn framework in 2024, which will begin with nine Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) schemes. But other highly complicated and specialised work has already run into cos t problems. Regulator Ofgem said in 2024 that the cost of one ASTI project, Eastern Green Link 2, had risen by \u00a31.3bn in two years amid material price inflation. Its latest estimated cost is \u00a34.3bn after the first year of construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sizewell C<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2025 was the year Sizewell C finally got the green light. The \u00a338bn nuclear power station is being financed under the Regulated Asset Base model in a public-private partnership that passes on some of the risk to consumers through bill increases. Construction is expected to last into the 2030s and create more than 10,000 jobs.<\/p>\n

Laing O\u2019Rourke, Balfour Beatty and Bouygues have already signed up for civil engineering work as part of a delivery partnership. Galliford Try and Breheny Civil Engineering will build roads connecting the site to the wider area, and William Hare will provide the steelwork for an amenity building on the accommodation campus. A \u00a35.5bn financing package was sealed last November, and plenty more work should be up for grabs in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n

Universal Studios Theme Park<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

American broadcasting giant Comcast NBCUniversal announced in April it plans to build its first theme park in the UK, transforming a former brickworks in Bedfordshire into a tourist destination. The 476-acre complex will be Europe\u2019s largest theme park and will be served by an expanded rail station and a new junction on the A421.<\/p>\n

Construction is projected to start in 2026, but the project could have a bumpy ride through planning, given the area\u2019s poor water capacity. Planning constraints recently scuppered plans for a similar \u2018London Resort\u2019 earlier this year.<\/p>\n

But if all goes smoothly, there will be plenty of exciting work for contractors to get their teeth into, including rides up to 115 metres high and a huge artificial lake. Work is expected to last until 2051, although the complex aims to open to visitors in 2031.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Houses of Parliament<\/h3>\n

\"Big<\/p>\n

Although plans to restore the crumbling Palace of Westminster first emerged a decade ago, British MPs still face workplace hazards. Last June, peers heard that delays in starting refurbishment work were costing more than \u00a3700m, with one warning of a \u201cNotre Dame-type inferno or something worse\u201d if nothing is done about the decaying building. Might 2026 be the year decisive action is taken?<\/p>\n

Some progress came last year, when Wates was directly handed the job to repair Victoria Tower after Parliament unsuccessfully tendered the job twice.<\/p>\n

But the government has yet to decide on how to carry out the full refurbishment, dragging its feet on whether to decant MPs to another building while refurbishment takes place or carry out work around them. Even in the best-case scenario, major work is not expected to start until 2029. Expect the saga to drag on for a little while longer.<\/p>\n

\n

East West Rail<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Work to revive the Varsity Line rail connection between Oxford and Cambridge \u2013 originally shut in 1968 \u2013 has gathered speed over the past year. East West Rail (EWR), the client on the \u00a37bn project, revamped its proposed route map in November with more than 80 design changes, including a new station to serve the planned Universal Studios theme park in Bedfordshire.<\/p>\n

The EWR Alliance between Network Rail, AtkinsR\u00e9alis, Laing O\u2019Rourke and VolkerRail is already collaborating on the Bicester to Bletchley stretch of the line, but other contractors will be keen to grab a slice of the pie. EWR announced a \u00a3140m tender for a construction integrator in May. This was followed by market engagement in November on a \u00a3700m framework for programme support works, with a tender scheduled for April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lower Thames Crossing<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After an expensive planning saga, the UK\u2019s largest-ever road tunnel finally got the go-ahead in March.<\/p>\n

Balfour Beatty and Skanska are building the northern and southern link roads respectively, while a joint venture between Bouygues Travaux Publics and Murphy is taking on the \u00a31.34bn twin-bore tunnel under the river Thames.<\/p>\n

The government handed over \u00a3590m in last year\u2019s Spending Review to kick things off, and it allocated \u00a3891m in the Autumn Budget to complete the publicly funded works by 2029. It favours the use of public-private partnership finance \u2013 based on the Regulated Asset Base model \u2013 to complete the new tunnel, with formal market engagement launching this year.<\/p>\n

The project is notable for its green ambitions, with the aim to achieve carbon neutrality in construction. In a UK first, the project has its own dedicated environmental regulator, aiming to fast-track approvals.<\/p>\n

\n

MoJ Contingency Response Programme<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A government pledge to build 20,000 prison places has been dogged by delays and cost overruns, and was further derailed by ISG\u2019s demise in September 2024. The firm had been responsible for nearly a fifth of the project.<\/p>\n

CN<\/em> revealed this year that the government has set aside at least \u00a31.1bn worth of contracts to kickstart momentum on the scheme, including three of the collapsed contractor\u2019s flagship projects – HMPs Birmingham, Liverpool and Guys Marsh. Other work within the programme has involved emergency maintenance and fire safety upgrades across the ageing prison estate.<\/p>\n

More than half of the total contracts value has been awarded so far. Bovis, Tilbury Douglas and Galliford Try are among the firms to have picked up work. Let\u2019s hope they have a better time than their predecessor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
