Glen Mallon Northern Ammunition Jetty
Explore how the £67 million upgrade of the Glen Mallan Northern Ammunition Jetty delivered a modern, resilient facility ready to support the Royal Navy’s largest aircraft carriers using NEC Contracts. Completed on time and within budget despite programme acceleration and Covid‑19 pressures, the project replaced a 60‑year‑old jetty with a new 356 m structure engineered for heavy‑duty naval operations. This award‑winning NEC4 project showcases outstanding collaboration, technical precision, and real‑world performance. See how structured collaboration kept a high‑security project on track.
Utilities
Virgin Media Cable Infrastructure
With a £2.5 billion cable installation and maintenance national rollout underway, NEC is helping to drive greater integration, trust and smarter risk‑sharing across the programme. The result so far? Infill build costs reduced by 30%, cost overruns cut from 10% to 2.5%, and contractors aligned behind a unified delivery culture through targeted NEC training. Learn how NEC is helping transform programme efficiency at scale.
Engineering
Elizabeth line
NEC contracts were central to delivering the £19 billion Elizabeth line, one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects, by enabling fair risk allocation, clear cost visibility, and a collaborative culture that helped resolve issues early and minimise disputes across most contracts. Their flexible procurement options met the project’s varied demands, covering early design, key preparatory works, major civil engineering, and complex rail systems. Explore how NEC contracts enabled world‑class engineering complexity at scale.
Local and Central Government
Southsea Coastal Scheme
This £200m local-authority led flood defence project used NEC Contracts to embed proactive management, early engagement, and transparent workflows, improving decision‑making and accelerating delivery. A collaborative working environment enabled the project to respond swiftly to challenges while maintaining clear governance. Discover how NEC improved resilience and accelerated progress on a nationally significant scheme.
Transport / Manufacturing
TfL Bank Station Capacity Upgrade
NEC’s collaborative contracting enabled the £700m Bank Station capacity upgrade, a complex overhaul of one of London’s busiest underground stations. Through the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC), early contractor engagement and risk‑sharing supported the complex tunnelling works. This also enabled the creation of new entrances and escalators, delivering a 40% capacity boost while keeping the station largely operational. Delivered on time and within budget, the project also achieved £60m in savings despite Covid. See how NEC helped deliver an award‑winning transport upgrade.
