A major carbon capture pipeline job saw utilities and property services contractor United Living top the latest Construction News<\/em> monthly league table.<\/p>\n

Data from Glenigan showed that the \u00a3627m-turnover firm picked up a \u00a3250m contract from \u00a0Liverpool Bay CCS Ltd, a subsidiary of global energy firm Eni, to help deliver carbon dioxide transportation and storage infrastructure as part of the HyNet North West decarbonisation scheme.<\/a><\/p>\n

This was only the second time that United Living led the monthly table, with it last hitting the top in February last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Skanska<\/a> took the silver medal in April with a pair of civils jobs worth a combined \u00a3193.3m. These included a share of a \u00a3400m contract from Anglian Water for a waste treatment plant in Cambridge alongside Mott MacDonald and MWH, according to Glenigan.<\/p>\n

That job saw Mott MacDonald and MWH enter the table in equal fourth place at \u00a3133.3m each.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in April\u2019s top 10, the Glenigan data revealed McLaren in third spot with \u00a3173.1m of work from four jobs, including a \u00a3120m contract to refit the Grade II-listed Barkers of Kensington building in west London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fifth-placed Wates<\/a> won three jobs with a combined value of \u00a3114.6m \u2013 mainly due to a \u00a3110.6m deal to repair Parliament\u2019s crumbling Victoria Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bowmer & Kirkland finished sixth in April\u2019s table with four contracts worth a total of \u00a3112.2m. These included a \u00a358.5m deal to deliver the Fabrica research hub in Oxford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seventh-placed Vistry won two jobs worth a combined \u00a3100.1m, ahead of Willmott Dixon<\/a> with half a dozen deals worth a combined \u00a388.2m.<\/p>\n

April\u2019s top 10 was rounded off by McAleer & Rushe with a single \u00a379m contract, and Kier<\/a> with 11 jobs worth a total of \u00a375.4m.<\/p>\n

Kier was one of three survivors from March\u2019s top 10, alongside McLaren and Bowmer & Kirkland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
