Galliford Try to take further hit on Aberdeen road job

Charge will be less than £25m reported in first half, says contractor

Galliford Try will take a further financial hit on the troubled Aberdeen road scheme, although the contractor is launching several claims over the job and expects “practical completion” of the project in the summer.

The firm was one of three firms working on the road in north east Scotland, along with Balfour Beatty and the now-defunct Carillion. Bad weather put the work on hold and the delays have cost the suriving firms tens of millions of pounds.

Galliford Try said the amount would depend upon the degree of progress recovered through the summer but stressed it would be lower than the £25m taken in the first half. “We are continuing to discuss several significant claims,” it added.
