GelreGroen JV signs contract with Rijkswaterstaat for Dutch highway project
The GelreGroen JV, comprising HOCHTIEF (40%), John Laing (40%), Dura Vermeer (10%), and BESIX (10%), will undertake the project's planning, construction, and subsequent maintenance.
The consortium executing the work will comprise HOCHTIEF, Dura Vermeer, BESIX, and Van Oord, each holding a 25% stake.
Set in the Arnhem area, the project will see the extension of the A15 highway by 12km and the widening of the A12 and A15 roads with additional lanes over a 23km stretch.
The contract also encompasses the financing, operation, and maintenance of the highway until 2051.
The project, awarded to the JV in 2020, faced delays due to appeals before the domestic Supreme Administrative Court, preventing the commencement of work.
The project is now scheduled to start in January 2026, with the new section of the A15 highway and the additional lanes on the A12/A15 expected to open by the end of 2031.
As construction moves forward, the project will include the erection of 45 bridge structures, ten traffic junctions, and additional noise barriers.
A new bridge over the Pannerdensch Canal, approximately 2.5km in length, will serve as the project's centrepiece.
Sustainability is a key focus of the project, influencing the planning, construction, and operation phases.
The GelreGroen name reflects an environmentally focused design, and the development will include the reuse of materials and green construction methods.
Last month, HOCHTIEF announced that in partnership with cloud solutions provider IONOS Group, it submitted an expression of interest to the European Commission for its interest in constructing and operating an AI 'Gigafactory' in Europe.

Quanta lifts annual forecast, buys Dynamic Systems in $1.35 billion deal
(Reuters) -Infrastructure solutions provider Quanta Services raised its annual results forecast on Thursday and said it has acquired peer Dynamic Systems in a deal valued at about $1.35 billion. The deal, which closed on July 25, was financed through $1.15 billion in cash and roughly $200 million in Quanta's common stock. "Dynamic Systems operates in growing end-markets, has a strong and visible opportunity pipeline and an accretive contribution to Quanta's growth, cash flow conversion, returns and earnings per share," Quanta CEO Duke Austin said. Quanta provides infrastructure services for the utility, renewable energy, technology, communications, pipeline, and energy industries. Separately, the company forecast annual revenue of between $27.4 billion and $27.9 billion, higher than its previous forecast of $26.7 billion to $27.2 billion. It now expects adjusted earnings for full-year 2025 to range between $10.28 and $10.88 per share, up from its prior view of $10.05 and $10.65 per share. The upbeat forecasts come as Quanta benefits from increasing power demand in the U.S. resulting from the data center boom, aging power grids and electrification. The company also reiterated risks to project timing and execution due to trade policy changes, macroeconomic challenges, extreme weather, regulatory issues and supply chain snags. However, the terms of Quanta's existing contracts limit the company's exposure to direct cost increases resulting from tariffs and could help it mitigate such risks. The Houston, Texas-based company posted second-quarter adjusted profit of $2.48 per share, compared with analysts' estimate of $2.44 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose 21% to $6.77 billion, compared with estimates of $6.57 billion.

Modest growth in new UK home registrations as London sees 59% annual fall
New home registrations showed 'modest growth' in the second quarter of this year, according to the National House Building Council (NHBC). Across the UK, 30,405 new homes were recorded by the NHBC, a warranty and insurance provider, as being registered to be built in the second quarter of 2025, up by 4% when compared with the same quarter in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Some 32,434 new homes were completed in the second quarter of 2025, which was 5% down on the same period in 2024. Yorkshire and the Humber, South West England and Northern Ireland recorded particularly big annual jumps in registrations in the second quarter for new building work starting, the NHBC said. In London, registrations for new work to be started more than halved compared with a year earlier, with 904 registrations in the second quarter of this year, down from 2,191 in the second quarter of 2024. The report said that London continues to be affected by the new building safety regime for high rise buildings and a depressed level of activity from housing associations. Apartment registrations across the UK were down by 23% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with 4,002 registrations recorded. All other house type registrations were up, with terraced houses experiencing the biggest annual increase, at a third (33%), to reach 5,371, the report said. The NHBC has a 70%-plus share of the UK warranty market and its figures indicate the stock of new properties in the pipeline as homes are registered with it before being built. Steve Wood, chief executive at NHBC, said: 'There has been modest growth in house building registrations in (the second quarter) compared to last year, signalling an uplift in confidence from developers, especially in low-rise housing. 'While some areas of the market remain subdued, we remain optimistic about the longer-term as planning and land restraints are increasingly unblocked, mortgage rates ease and the Government sustains a focus on new home delivery.' The NHBC recorded 20,924 private sector registrations in the second quarter of 2025, up by 6% compared with the second quarter of 2024. The rental and affordable sector saw a 1% uplift over the same period, with 9,481 new homes registered in the second quarter. Quarter-on-quarter, rental and affordable registrations jumped by 6%, as the industry welcomed Chancellor Rachel Reeves's social and affordable homes programme, the NHBC said. The Government has said it is taking steps to tackle skills shortages in the construction sector and unlock development and opportunity on building sites, with the aim of building 1.5 million new homes as part of its wider plans to drive economic growth. Mr Wood added: 'The demand for social and affordable homes across the UK is acute, so it is encouraging to see long-term targeted funding for this sector. 'At NHBC we are focused on supporting developers to ensure such new homes are built to the quality owners and occupiers should expect. This is particularly important in periods of growth.' Here are the numbers of new home registrations in the second quarter of this year and the annual percentage increase or decrease, according to the NHBC: North East, 1,486, 8% North West, 2,080, minus 16% Yorkshire and the Humber, 2,768, 96% West Midlands, 2,694, minus 1% East Midlands, 4,326, 26% Eastern England, 3,808, minus 12% South West, 4,070, 75% London, 904, minus 59% South East, 3,988, minus 15% Scotland, 2,524, minus 9% Wales, 990, 16% Northern Ireland and Isle of Man, 767, 44%
