An Irish-owned civil engineering company has secured a €100m contract to work on the M25 widening programme around Greater London, it emerged today.
The McArdle Group, based in London but acquired by Cork-based equity firm Mercier Private Equity last year, secured the lucrative three-year deal.
The M25 deal will see the group undertake site clearance and earthworks covering around 60km, moving more than six million tonnes of soil and aggregates.
The project is the largest the group has ever worked on.
Previous schemes the company has been involved in include the redevelopment of the M1 and M25 motorways, the A3 Hindhead Tunnel and the T5 baggage handling tunnel at Heathrow.
