Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it was
appointed to provide a variety of services for the new Grafton
Correctional Centre in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The new
facility will be built at Grafton, on the state's north coast,
under a public-private partnership.
The facility, which is expected to accommodate at least 1000

efforts and better accommodate inmate population, mitigating the
need for offenders to be transferred to alternative regions.

sub-consultant to the lead technical consultant, architects
NBRS+Partners. Jacobs was commissioned by Infrastructure NSW on
behalf of Corrective Services NSW.
Jacobs is also providing more than ten different technical
studies supporting the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Grafton facility on behalf of Infrastructure NSW.
The facility is expected to be operational in 2019.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Senior Vice President
Buildings and Infrastructure Patrick Hill said, “We are proud to be
involved in this important correctional centre as both technical
advisor and environmental consultant. Our extensive experience on
PPP correctional facilities complements our local environmental
knowledge, following our involvement on projects such as the
Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway Upgrade. We look forward to
once again contributing to the local community in this
capacity.”
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers
of technical, professional and construction services.
