June represents the end of another quarter. Thanks to the £6.8bn of contract awards which June produced, Q2 ended with a value of £5.9bn. Activity in June was held up strongly by the infrastructure sector, which masked the falls in commercially sensitive sectors.
Infrastructure accounted for just over a third of all construction contract awards – with £2.3bn. Despite having a total of 157 projects across the country, this success was mainly driven by a singular £1.25bn project. To showcase the success of the sector this month, we list the top three projects by value below…
1. Stonehenge Tunnel – A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down
The Stonehenge Tunnel project was the largest project by value in June across all sectors, not just infrastructure (Project ID: 12107091). The £1.25bn project comprises of a new 13km two lane carriageway between Amesbury and Berwick Down. There will also be a new two new junctions, one replacing the existing long barrow roundabout and one at the existing countess roundabout.
The project is set to start construction in the first quarter of 2023 and take 36 months to complete, finishing in the first quarter of 2026.
2. Shepperton Studios
The Shepperton Studios South Phase project is valued at £300m and is located in Shepperton, Middlesex (Project ID: 12545924).
