Costain Group PLC said Monday that it and National Grid PLC have
agreed to terminate the contract for the upgrade to the power
company's Peterborough and Huntingdon compressor stations.
Costain said that the contract experienced significant change
and extra scope, which hit costs and scheduling times.
"Following detailed discussions between Costain and National
Grid, both parties have mutually agreed to exit the contract and
release Costain from its contractual obligations to complete the
works," Costain said.
Costain shares at 0815 GMT were up 2 pence, or 3%, at 69.50
pence.
