Firm was working at Heathrow and Hinkley, according to Barbour ABI
Mace has said it is working with its clients to 鈥渕itigate鈥� the impact of roofing and cladding specialist Lakesmere鈥檚 insolvency last week.
The firm was working with Mace at Heathrow Airport and at Hinkley Power Station, according to data provider Barbour ABI.
A spokesperson for Mace said: 鈥淎t the moment Lakesmere was only working on a small handful of our projects, and we will be working closely with our clients to mitigate the impact of their liquidation.鈥�
Lakesmere was working as the external walls and roof subcontractor on the new fa莽ade at the departures area at Terminal 3, Heathrow and was the subcontractor for doors, external walls, roof and windows on the new worker accommodation campus at Hinkley for main contractor Laing O鈥橰ourke where Mace is also working as the project manager for EDF Energy.
Last week Richard Hawes, one of the joint adminstrators at Deloitte appointed by Lakesmere, said: 鈥淟akesmere Limited has experienced financial challenges, arising from a number of unprofitable contracts.This has resulted in Lakesmere Limited being placed into administration.鈥�
The firm has also been working on several Crossrail stations in London and the revamp of London Bridge station, where Costain has already taken over Lakesmere鈥檚 work.
Lakesmere鈥檚 Northern Irish business McMullen Facades and the firm鈥檚 overseas operations are not in administration and continue to trade, Deloitte said.
Outside of the UK, one of Lakesmere鈥檚 biggest projects was the 300,000m2 roofing contract at the expansion of the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where it was working for the country鈥檚 largest construction firm the Saudi Binladen Group.
