£400m bid being prepared

By The Boy -

Not my usual reading matter, I have to confess. I’m more of a New Humanist/Beano man. But Construction Enquirer is worth a peek for those interested in preparations for the new stadium.

McClaren Construction are believed to be teaming up with a Spanish outfit by the name of FCC to tender a £400m bid to THFC.

FCC are without doubt one of the biggest civil engineering works, building, and industrial building companies on planet Earth.They have built the Dubai Cricket Stadium, RCD Español Stadium, Barcelona, Real Madrid’s Sport City, Euro 08 stadiums in Wals, Siezenheim, Innsbruck, Wörthesee and Klagenfurt, Austria, Euro 12 stadiums in Gdansk, Posen and Krakow and Warsaw National Stadium, Poland and the London 2012 Communications Centre.

Examples of their upcoming projects include the Açu Superport in Rio de Janeiro, they are extending the Toronto-York Spadina Subway and a 2.13 km long bridge over the River Mersey which will carry about 80,000 vehicles per day.

McLaren is already on-site in North London delivering the first phase of the stadium redevelopment plan.

The firm won the contract in September 2012 to deliver a new 130,000 sq ft Sainsbury’s supermarket on the site with completion due in early 2014. McLaren was also responsible for the successful delivery of Spurs’ new £45m state-of-the-art Training Centre in Enfield.

A source at one major stadium builder said:

Most of the big names will go for this but the word in the industry is that McLaren and FCC could be the surprise package.

McLaren has strong links with the club but this would be its biggest job to date so linking-up with a larger player with stadium experience makes sense.”

Architect Populous has recently been appointed by Spurs to review the current plans for the 56,000-seater stadium.
