Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it is
part of a design joint venture sub-contracted by the Gateway South
Consortium which was recently selected to design and construct the
Darlington Upgrade project in Adelaide, Australia. The Gateway
South Consortium is a joint venture between Fulton Hogan and Laing
O’Rourke. The design joint venture consists of Jacobs, KBR and SMEC
Australia.
The major transport project, with a budget of approximately $440
million (AU$ $620 million), is the next stage in the upgrade of one
of the regions’ most important transport corridors. The project
aims to improve safety and reduce congestion and travel times for
motorists and public transport users.
Requirements of the design joint venture include the
reconfiguration of the existing 3.3 kilometer road from the
Southern Expressway to north of Tonsley Boulevard, as well as the
design of a lowered, non-stop motorway passing underneath Flinders
Driver, Sturt Road, Mimosa Terrance/Sutton Road and Tonsley
Boulevard.
Most of the detailed design and approvals work is scheduled to
begin this year, with all ground works expected to be completed by
2018.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Senior Vice President
Buildings and Infrastructure Patrick Hill said, “We are proud to be
involved in this landmark transport project for South Australia and
look forward to working closely with the other members of the
Gateway South team. This project represents an excellent
opportunity to leverage our proven experience and expertise on
major transport infrastructure projects.”
