Locals have Rio Olympics 'sewn up'

摘要

UK contractors have been warned not to expect a glut of work opportunities from Brazil in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympics, with industry figures claiming Brazilian construction firms have much of the expected work "sewn up", writes Allister Hayman. The warning comes as firms including Foster + Partners, Laing O'Rourke, Mott MacDonald, Arup, Aecom, Expedition Engineering, and Zaha Hadid Architects joined the prime minister on a trade mission to Brazil this week.
