Balfour Beatty's US building business, Balfour Beatty Construction US, has won work that could be worth up to $560m.

Balfour Beatty, the international engineering, construction, services and investment group, has announced that its US building business, Balfour Beatty Construction US, has won work that could be worth up to $560m (£373m).

In Dallas, Balfour Beatty Construction US has been selected, as part of a joint venture, to manage construction of a new hospital for the Parkland Health and Hospital System. The facility will replace an existing 55-year-old hospital, and, when complete, will be the largest hospital building in Dallas.

The $1.2bn programme will include a new acute care hospital, separate clinic building, office building, parking structures and other support facilities. Balfour Beatty’s share of the work will be approximately $250m. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2011 and will be completed in 2014.

Also in Dallas, the company has secured a contract with the Dallas Museum of Natural History to serve as construction manager for the new $80m Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas.
