Shard completion delayed by at least two months

摘要

Contractor Mace has missed the original practical completion deadline for the £500m Shard skyscraper and is working to meet an extended deadline. The Shard was originally due to achieve practical completion by the end of May this year, well ahead of the London 2012 Olympics which begins on 27 July. But founder and chief executive of developer Sellar, Irvine Sellar, told Building this week that practical completion of the tower could come "many weeks after" the Games, which end on 12 August.
