KBR Appointed Contract Administrators for Major Intersection Upgrade by Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads

KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced it has been awarded a contract by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to provide contract administration, design and construction verification services for the upgrade of one of Queensland’s busiest intersections, at Mains and Kessels roads in Brisbane, Australia.

This award follows the recent completion of the Darra to Springfield Transport Corridor project, another large road and rail infrastructure project for TMR, in which KBR also played a major role, including design and project verification.

For the Mains and Kessels roads upgrade, KBR will provide site inspection and surveillance services, review technical design and construction documentation, monitor the effectiveness of management systems and ensure that project risks are appropriately identified and managed.

This project will provide a short underpass beneath Mains Road for Kessels Road traffic with improved turn and intersection lanes and new provisions for buses, pedestrians and cyclists. This intersection is one of Queensland’s busiest with an average of over 90,000 vehicle movements per day. Separating Kessels Road traffic from Mains Road traffic will improve safety and travel times and provide a more efficient and reliable intersection with capacity to accommodate future traffic growth.

“The Mains Road and Kessels Road intersection upgrade will build upon KBR’s existing relationship with TMR and further validates KBR’s strong reputation within the Queensland transport infrastructure market,” said Colin Elliott, President, KBR Infrastructure & Minerals. “This is a great win for the KBR roads team, as it not only enables KBR to expand its roads portfolio and bring the latest construction and project management methods for large infrastructure projects, but also will provide site-based training and experience opportunities for young KBR engineers.”

KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals, civil infrastructure, power, industrial, and commercial markets. For more information, visit www.kbr.com.
