Infrastructure awards and sector positioning
An article entry on Kalkine Media dated around mid September 2026 refers to Balfour Beatty (LSE:BBY) being in focus as highways and grid awards stack up, suggesting that the company has secured multiple infrastructure contracts that strengthen its backlog and position it as a key player in UK infrastructure build out.Kalkine Media
