CNinsight100 Specialists: Piling
A notable exit from this year’s table of CNinsight 100 top piling contractors is Expanded Piling, part of the Expanded Group ultimately owned by Laing O’Rourke, which recorded a turnover of just £3.7m, a dramatic 77 per cent fall from the £16m the previous year.
CNinsight100 Specialists: M&E
All the companies in the CNinsight 100 top 10 M&E table, or their parent firms, appear in the main CNinsight 100 contractors table. Unlike other specialist sub-sectors, turnover of more than £170m was required to make the top 10.

Cape Industrial Services remains at the top of the scaffolding table for the 2011 CNinsight 100, though results are for the year end to December 2009.

Keltbray continues to dominate the demolition sector with turnover of £87 million, although profits slid from £5.8 million to £200,000 in the year to October 2010.
