Crossed wires
Article Abstract:
Digital Services has bridged the gap between cabling and communication contractors by undertaking to install the wiring and organise interior and exterior fit-out and decoration. This allows clients to have one point of contract rather than several, resulting in better coordination and speed. Its building package has so far been supplied to British Gas Exploration and Terry's of York. Mercury Communications is offering clients regional project manager advice who work with the different contractors. Quantity surveyors Mooney Kelly advises Pilkington Communication systems on construction industry dealings.

Double crossing
Article Abstract:
The 300 million pounds sterling Second Severn Crossing, being built by a joint venture of GTM-Entrepose and John Laing Construction, is nearing completion. It is more than 5 km long, and has used 400,000 cu mt of concrete and 50,000 tonnes of steel. The project has taken four years, and work has had to be carried out in very difficult conditions, with the weather being very unpredictable. All components used were specially selected for their ability to perform in these conditions.
