Company reinforces reputation as leading
transport infrastructure service provider
Following a string of recent contract wins, Jacobs Engineering
Group Inc. has reinforced its status as one of the world’s leading
transport infrastructure service providers.
The success follows the Australian Government’s recent
commitment to infrastructure investment, which aims to create more
livable and productive communities through well-planned, safer and
more efficient transport networks. As part of the Smart Cities Plan
to build a more prosperous and innovative nation, the government is
investing more than $3.4 billion in urban rail projects across
the country.
“Australia’s infrastructure market is particularly buoyant right
now,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President Buildings and
Infrastructure Patrick Hill. “This is driven by increases in
population, congestion, and demand for livable cities. Our recent
appointment on a number of major projects confirms our expertise in
addressing these and related transport infrastructure
challenges.”
The company’s recent successes include contracts with the
Hurstbridge Rail Line Upgrade (as part of the North East Program
Alliance) and the Pakenham Rail Depot projects in Victoria, along
with the Bruce Highway Upgrade in Queensland. The company is
currently delivering services for other major projects including
Westconnex, Darlington Upgrade Project, Forrestfield Airport Link
and Sydney CBD Light Rail.
“Whether it’s through an alliance, joint venture or direct
contract arrangement, we’re seeing more opportunities to leverage
and showcase our extensive knowledge and experience in the
transport sector,” said Hill. “Much of our success derives from our
reputation for providing thoughtful and innovative solutions to
help meet demanding implementation schedules, manage risk, control
costs, and simplify operations.”
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers
of full-spectrum technical, professional and construction services
for industrial, commercial and government organizations globally.
The company employs 50,000 people and operates in more than 30
countries around the world.
