Balfour Beatty plc (/ˌbælfʊ ˈbiːtiː/) is an international infrastructure group based in the United Kingdom with capabilities in construction services, support services and infrastructure investments. A constituent of the FTSE 250 Index, Balfour Beatty works across the UK, US and Hong Kong.

By turnover, Balfour Beatty was ranked in 2021 as the biggest construction contractor in the United Kingdom.[4]

History

Early years

Balfour Beatty was formed in 1909, with a capital of £50,000. The two principals were George Balfour, a qualified mechanical and electrical engineer, and Andrew Beatty, an accountant. The two had met while working for the London branch of the New York engineers JG White & Company. Initially, the company concentrated on tramways, the first contract being to construct the Dunfermline and District Tramways that opened in November 1909 for Balfour Beatty's own subsidiary, the Fife Tramway Light and Power Company.[5]

It subsequently acquired a portfolio of electric power and tramway companies including in Carlisle, Cheltenham, Leamington & Warwick, Llanelly, Luton, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire & Derby, Falkirk and Wemyss. Some later operated trolley and motor buses. Several bus companies were purchased or formed including Midland General, Percivals (Carlisle), Stratford Blue and Scottish General Omnibus.[5]

The Scottish bus subsidiaries were sold in June 1930 to W Alexander & Sons, and the Scottish tramways in 1935 to Scottish Motor Traction, Cheltenham was sold in July 1939 to Red & White Services with the remaining operations transferred to the Tilling Group.[5]

Balfour Beatty's general construction expertise was extended during First World War with, for example, the building of army camps.[6]

George Balfour was elected to the House of Commons in 1918 and played a large part in the debates which established the National Grid. To service this new market, George Balfour, Andrew Beatty and others formed Power Securities to finance projects, and the two companies, with their common directors, worked closely together. Balfour Beatty was heavily involved in the development of Scotland's hydro electric power, building dams, transmission lines and power stations.[6]

Other work between the wars included the standardisation of the electricity supply in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and the construction of tunnels and escalators for the London Underground. Extensive overseas work started in 1924 when Balfour Beatty took over the management of the East African Power & Lighting company; construction work included hydro electric schemes in the Dolomites, Malaya and India, power stations in Argentina and Uruguay, and the Kut Barrage on the Tigris in Iraq.[6]

By the onset of the Second World War, control of the firm had changed: Andrew Beatty had died in 1934 and George Balfour died in 1941. Construction work was now dominated by the war effort, and notable projects included blocking the approaches to Scapa Flow and the building of six Mulberry harbour units.[7]

Post World War II

Peacetime saw a resumption of Balfour Beatty's traditional work, with power stations and railway work dominating at home. Overseas, a construction company was bought in Canada in 1953, and other work included the Mto Mtwara harbour in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and the Wadi Tharthar irrigation scheme in Iraq.[6]

In 1969, Power Securities, which by then owned Balfour Beatty, was taken over by cable manufacturer BICC.[8] Balfour Beatty moved away from its traditional area of expertise in 1986, when it formed Balfour Beatty Homes, building on a modest scale from its office in Nottingham. It also opened offices in Paisley and Leatherhead, and in 1987, it bought the Derbyshire firm of David M Adams to give it an annualised production rate of up to 700 houses.[9]

Little more than a year before the housing market collapsed, through its parent BICC, Clarke Homes was bought.[10] By the middle of the 1990s, sales were down to only five hundred a year, and although no financial figures were ever published, the housing operation was believed to have suffered heavy losses. Balfour Beatty Homes was renamed Clarke Homes and then sold to Westbury in 1995.[11]

21st century

In May 2000, BICC, having sold its cable operations, renamed itself Balfour Beatty.[12] It then commenced a series of acquisitions, primarily in the United Kingdom and North America; in 2004, it also acquired Skanska's 50% stake in Hong Kong's Gammon Construction.[13] In 2011, Balfour Beatty sold its trackwork manufacturing business to Progress Rail.[14][15]

Acquisitions in the United Kingdom

Balfour Beatty's acquisitions in the United Kingdom included: construction services business Mansell plc, for £42m in November 2003,[16] construction and civils contractor Birse plc, for £32m in August 2006,[17] Bristol construction company Cowlin Construction, also in October 2007,[18] and regional contractor Dean & Dyball for £45 million in February 2008.[19]

In November 2010, the company bought the remnant of collapsed construction company Rok plc for £7 million.[20]

North American acquisitions

In February 2007, Balfour Beatty acquired Texas based Centex Construction for £180m.[21] In February 2008, the company bought GMH Military Housing, a United States-based military accommodation business, for £180m.[22]

In September 2009, the company agreed to buy Parsons Brinckerhoff, a project management firm based in the United States, for $626 million.[23] Balfour Beatty sold Parsons Brinckerhoff to WSP Global for $1.24bn in October 2014.[24] In October 2010, the company bought Halsall Group, a Canadian professional services firm, for £33 million.[25]

In June 2011, it bought Howard S. Wright, one of the oldest contractors on the West Coast of the United States, for £58 million[26] as well as Fru-Con Construction, a water and wastewater contractor based in the United States, for £12 million[27] and in January 2013, it bought Subsurface Group, a consulting and engineering firm based in the United States.[28]

Rebuffed merger

In August 2014, the company rebuffed three offers by its rival in the United Kingdom, Carillion, for the two companies to merge. The last bid, which valued Balfour Beatty at £2.1 billion, was unanimously rejected by the Balfour Beatty board on 20 August 2014, one day before a deadline for negotiations to conclude. Balfour refused to allow an extension of time for negotiations which could have prompted a fourth bid.[29] Carillion subsequently announced it would no longer pursue a merger with its rival.[30]

In May 2021, it was announced that Lord Allen would be the next Balfour Beatty chairman, succeeding Philip Aiken from 20 July 2021.[31]

Controversies

Hatfield rail crash

Main article: Hatfield rail crash

In October 2005, Balfour Beatty was found guilty of breaching health and safety laws, and were fined £10 million for its involvement in the October 2000 Hatfield rail crash. The crash resulted in the death of four people, and injured more than 70.[32]

Blacklisting

Main article: Consulting Association

In March 2009, the company was found to be a subscriber to the Consulting Association, a firm which was then prosecuted by the UK Information Commissioner's Office for breaching the Data Protection Act by holding a secret database of construction workers details, including union membership and political affiliations,[33][34] and six enforcement notices were issued against Balfour Beatty companies.[35]

In January 2010, individual workers had started suing the company for being on the blacklist;[36] the first of these cases, however, was ruled in favour of the company.[37]

On 10 October 2013, Balfour Beatty was one of eight construction firms involved in blacklisting that apologised for their actions, and agreed to pay compensation to affected workers.[38] The eight businesses established the Construction Workers Compensation Scheme in July 2014,[38] though the scheme was condemned as a "PR stunt" by the GMB union,[38] and as "an act of bad faith" by Parliament's Scottish Affairs Select Committee.[39]

A High Court case regarding the blacklisting was scheduled for May 2016.[40] In October 2015, during preliminary stages of the case, the eight firms did not accept the loss of earnings that the blacklisting victims had suffered,[41] but, in January 2016, they increased their compensation offers.[42]

On 22 January 2016, the High Court ordered 30 construction firms to disclose all emails and correspondence relating to blacklisting by 12 February 2016,[43] after it emerged that Balfour Beatty managers had referred to blacklisted workers as ‘sheep’.[44] However, some settlements were eventually agreed, and on 11 May 2016, a 'formal apology' from the 40 firms involved was read out in court and the case (Various Claimants v McAlpine & Ors) was closed.[45]

In December 2017, Unite announced it had issued high court proceedings relating to blacklisting against twelve major contractors, including Balfour Beatty.[46]

Late payment

In April 2019, Balfour Beatty was suspended from the UK Government's Prompt Payment Code, for failing to pay suppliers on time.[47] It was reinstated around 10 months later.[48]

Military housing fraud

In December 2021, Balfour Beatty Communities LLC, one of the largest providers of privatized military housing to the U.S. Armed Forces, pleaded guilty to one count of major fraud against the United States. The company was sentenced to pay over $33.6 million in criminal fines and over $31.8 million in restitution to the U.S. military, serve three years probation, and engage an independent compliance monitor for three years.[49] The company lied about repairs made to housing for U.S. servicemembers and pocketed performance bonuses to which it was not entitled.[50]
