Business Wire
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today that it
received a contract to provide engineering services for a major
airside design program at Melbourne Airport in Australia.
Company officials did not disclose the contract value.
Under the terms of the contract, Jacobs is delivering the
earthworks, civil infrastructure, pavement, master grading and
drainage design for the schematic and detailed design phases of the
Taxiway Zulu and Terminal 2 Aprons Project, which involves the
provision of a series of new taxiway, taxi lane and apron
infrastructure required to facilitate future Terminal 2 pier
expansion and associated changes to aircraft configuration.
The Taxiway Zulu and Terminal 2 Apron scope was previously
covered by two separate projects during the recently completed
feasibility design phase, for which Jacobs completed the Taxiway
Zulu program and another international design consultant the
Terminal 2 Apron component. Melbourne Airport has now chosen to
bring the two projects together under one contract for feasibility
and detailed design and has selected Jacobs to undertake the
consolidated scope.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Patrick
Hill stated, “The Taxiway Zulu and Terminal 2 Aprons Project is a
significant contract that demonstrates how we leverage Jacobs’
global expertise and deep knowledge of the Australian market. Our
team is working closely with Melbourne Airport to tailor effective,
competitive solutions to help it increase capacity and capabilities
in support of its goals.”
Passenger growth at Melbourne Airport is projected to increase
from 30 million to 64 million passengers a year over the next 20
years, requiring significant expansion of landside, terminal and
airside infrastructure to support expanded schedules and aircraft
movement.
Jacobs has worked in more than 80 commercial airports and
successfully delivered major aviation programs with combined
construction values totaling more than $15 billion in the past 15
years. Jacobs was recognized with a 2014 National Excellence Award
from the American Council of Engineering Companies for its work at
O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers
of technical professional and construction services.
