GAMMON AWARDED GBP353 MILLION AIR CARGO TERMINAL
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN HONG KONG

Gammon Construction Limited, a market-leading contractor in Hong Kong in which
Balfour Beatty has a 50% shareholding, has been awarded by Cathay Pacific
Services Ltd, a HK$4.2 billion (GBP353 million) air cargo terminal construction
contract, in joint venture with Hip Hing Construction Co Ltd.

The contract for the new terminal at Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap
Kok, will engage a workforce of over 1,000 at the peak of the project's
construction period.

Commenting today Balfour Beatty Chief Executive, Ian Tyler, said:

"We are delighted to have been awarded this contract to enhance Hong Kong's
status as an international airfreight hub. Along with our joint venture
partner, we are committed to the delivery of a terminal of the highest quality,
while maintaining excellent standards of safety."

The new terminal, which is approximately 280,000 square metres, is scheduled for
completion in 2013.

Balfour Beatty has been a major player in the development of Chek Lap Kok
Airport's infrastructure having been responsible, as part of a joint venture,
for the construction of an GBP800 million terminal building completed in 1998,
and the completion in 2004 of the GBP40 million East Hall expansion structures
and departure hall reconfiguration contract, both for the Hong Kong Airport
Authority.

This company has been piling up contracts at home and abroad.

Yet the Share price is not moving very much in response.

I understand the drop back yesterday due to X-Div, but wonder why the movement is sluggish.

Is there an expectancy that some of the British contracts will be torn up after the election in expected cut backs?

BALFOUR BEATTY COMPLETES THE SALE OF INTERESTS IN
TWO UK PPP CONCESSIONS

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, announces that it has
completed the sale of:

(i) its entire 50% interest in Aberdeen Environmental Services (Holdings)
Limited ("AES") to Kelda Non-Reg Holdco Limited ("Kelda"), an affiliate of Kelda
Water Services Limited being the other shareholder of AES; and

(ii) a 23.9% interest in Consort Healthcare (ERI) Holdings Limited ("ERI")
to ERI Holdings Limited being the other shareholder of ERI and wholly-owned by
Barclays Integrated Infrastructure Fund ("Barclays"), for an aggregate
consideration of c.GBP24.1 million.

Kelda and ERI Holdings Limited purchased the interests in AES and ERI
respectively by exercising their rights of pre-emption which were triggered by
the agreement between Balfour Beatty and AMP Capital Investors Limited ("AMP")
dated 4 March 2010 to sell the 50% interest in AES and the 23.9% interest in ERI
for an aggregate consideration of GBP24.3 million. The difference in
consideration to that agreed with AMP is due to a distribution of c.GBP0.2
million paid by ERI to Balfour Beatty on 5 March 2010 in respect of the 23.9%
shareholding acquired by ERI Holdings Limited, an affiliate of Barclays.

The disposals will generate an aggregated profit of c.GBP21 million.
