BILFINGER WARNS OF MORE DISPUTES TO COME Bilfinger Berger have warned that despite the fact the Princes Street saga is over and work started again this past week there are likely to be many more disputes over the coming months and years as the project to return trams to Scotland continues. Despite the fact that there is an apparent confidentiality clause between the consortium and tie, a spokesman for Bilfinger Berger is quoted on The Scotsman website as saying there are still problems lying in wait for the scheme.
The spokesman said about the agreement on Princes Street: “It's an agreement, but there are many open issues still to be resolved. This is one step in the right direction, but it remains to be seen if we can find solutions to the other issues. There are over 100 issues which are all around the project. They are major and minor things. Princes Street is not one of the major issues from the construction point of view."
However, a spokeswoman from the City of Edinburgh Council, said: “We are not aware of any further issues that would affect the project regarding Bilfinger at this time."
