Battersea Power Station Development Company has confirmed it had ended its agreement with Skanksa UK for phase two of Battersea Power Station.
Mace has been appointed as the new construction manager for the power station redevelopment.
Skanska UK managed the first stage of the scheme, which included enabling works, chimney deconstruction and reconstruction, piling and other critical infrastructure.
BPSDC said: “Following the initial phase, it is now considered that an alternative construction management procurement route would better suit the next and continuing phase of the works.”
The existing contract will end in the autumn, and Mace will focus on phase two.
Mace already has detailed knowledge of the project, following its initial appointment on the scheme in 2013 to complete the early preparatory works.
Simon Jenner, chief operating officer of Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “This contract, combined with the recently awarded construction management contract for phase three of the scheme, will deliver one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration schemes in recent history and is itself the largest single private building contract awarded in the UK.”
