Balfour Beatty has rebuffed three takeover offers from UK rival Carillion. Although talks were initially constructive, Balfour Beatty's proposed sale of its US arm, Parsons Brinckerhoff, emerged as a deal-breaker. Carillion's final offer valued Balfour Beatty at just over UK£ 2 billion (US$ 3.3 billion). Balfour Beatty is the UK's largest contractor. It was ranked no. 9 in Construction Europe's CE-100 ranking of Europe's largest contractors and no. 26 in (iC's) ranking of the world's top 200 construction companies. Carillion was no. 25 in this year's CE-100 and no. 70 in the iC Top 200.
