Mace booked the highest value of orders in February after bagging the £1.65bn HS2 Euston station project in joint venture with Spanish giant Dragados.

The vast project lifted Mace up through the ranks of the rolling 12-month table from 10th last month to second place behind Kier.

Balfour Beatty also rose on the annualised rankings to take a top three place on the strength of its win in joint venture with Vinci for HS2’s Old Oak Common station, which Glenigan, values at £1.3bn.

Skanska came out with the highest value of civil engineering orders in February on the strength of its return to new road work, securing a £282m contract to upgrade the M42 at Junction 6 near Birmingham.
