ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION, MINING AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, EMPLOYING NEARLY 15,000 PEOPLE. IS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE CHANNEL TUNNEL ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST CIVIL ENGINEERING AND
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. IN HONG KONG THE COMPANY HAS HAD A MAJOR ROLE IN A VARIETY OF PROJECTS INCLUDING THE FIRST CROSS HARBOUR TUNNEL, THE EASTERN ISLAND CORRIDOR AND THE SHAJIAO B POWER STATION IN GUANGDONG.
5. COSTAIN INTERNATIONAL HAS OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WORLD-WIDE CONSTRUCTION, AND HAS DEVELOPED THE EXPERTISE REQUIRED TO CARRY OUT LARGE PROJECTS IN DIFFICULT LOCATIONS. THE RECENTLY COMPLETED DUBAI DRY DOCK COMPLEX (THE LARGEST OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD) IS A RECENT EXAMPLE OF THIS CAPABILITY.
DEFENSIVE POINTS
6. THIS IS NOT A ''BRITISH' CONSORTIUM, IT IS ANGLO/JAPANESE. THERE WERE ALSO BRITISH COMPANIES (KIER, MAUNSELL, MIDLAND BANK) IN THE ONLY OTHER MULTINATIONAL GROUP LED BY THE FRENCH.

7 IT IS NOT FOR US TO EXPLAIN HOW THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT CAME
TO ITS DECISION: WE ARE IN NO WAY INVOLVED. NOR CAN WE COMMENT ON THE RELATIVE PRICES ON EACH BID, BUT WE KNOW THE HKG IS ALWAYS ANXIOUS TO GET VALUE FOR MONEY, AND ASSUME THAT THEY WILL HAVE LOOKED FOR THE BEST COMBINATION OF PRICE, QUALITY AND
RELIABILITY.
"
8. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE ALLEGATION THAT THE BTC SOMEHOW HAS
BETTER ACCESS TO HKG ON COMMERCIAL MATTERS. WE WORK HARD AT MAKING CONTACTS AS DO OUR COMPETITORS, BUT WE ARE GIVEN NO PREFERENCE.
