US Military

Major infrastructure owners in both the public and private sectors increasingly believe that best value is to be found in close, long-term relationships. Balfour Beatty’s leadership in a wide range of contracting disciplines, together with its high level programme management skills and whole-life asset management capabilities, constitute an increasingly attractive package to a wide range of infrastructure owners. For example, National Grid, United Utilities, British Energy, BAA and the Highways Agency in the UK, and the Department of Defense, Bank of America and Disney Corporation in the US, use Balfour Beatty as, effectively, an extension of their own organisations.

In the US, Balfour Beatty’s work in creating a new generation of married status accommodation at a wide range of locations makes the Group a major long-term partner to the US military.

The Military Privatization Housing Initiative was introduced in 1996 to create new housing and eradicate the backlog of repairs and rehabilitation at many US bases.

Upon completion of the agreed transaction for Balfour Beatty to acquire GMH Military Housing, Balfour Beatty will also become responsible for owning and managing concessions across the US over a 50-year period.
