COINS is proud to be working with some of the major building contractors for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Sporting venues in London and elsewhere are being constructed by COINS clients such as Barr Construction of Glasgow, regarded as one of the UK’s leading builders of sports stadia. Barr won the £58 million contract to build the 12,000-seat Basketball Arena, which will also be used in the Paralympics Games. Dean & Dyball, a division of Balfour Beatty Regional Civil Engineering, will build the Olympic sailing venue at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing cademy (WPNSA), including a 150-metre slipway; a race-boat parking area and lifting facilities; and moorings to be sheltered by a wave protection structure.

Byrne Bros. Ltd was awarded a £50 million contract by Sir Robert McAlpine/Team Stadium for in-situ concrete works on the 80,000-seat flagship Olympic stadium. They were also awarded the design and construction of the multi-storey car park for the International Broadcast and Media Press Centre at the Olympic Park in east London. Byrne Bros is using new COINS Plant Manager Web Cat for site requisitions, linked to their hire desk in Mitcham.

BAM Nuttall, a member of the COINS Electronic Trading Community, won the contract to build London’s 40-hectare Olympic Park. The contract covers the creation of new wetland and other wildlife habitats, installing new allotments and permanent park furniture, lighting, irrigation and drainage.
