LONDON (Alliance News) - Construction company Balfour Beatty PLC Monday said it has been awarded a GBP154 million contract to convert the London 2012 Olympic stadium into the permanent home of West Ham United football club.
In a statement, the company said the deal includes the GBP41 million contract it was awarded to work on a roof for the stadium in the summer.
The stadium will host five matches during the Rugby World Cup 2015 and will be the permanent home of West Ham from 2016. It will also become the new national competition stadium for athletics in the UK as well as hosting elite international athletics events and other sporting, cultural and community events.
Balfour expects to start work on site early in 2014 and expects to complete in the spring of 2016.
