Providing services to support airport’s
sustainable expansion
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been awarded a
four-year contract by London’s Heathrow Airport Ltd to provide
airport planning and engineering services to support the airport’s
sustainable expansion.
Jacobs joins Heathrow’s new Integrated Design Team (IDT) of
seven aviation planning and design organizations selected to
develop plans for the airport’s expansion. The team will
collaborate to help deliver one of the most complex airport
developments in the world. Heathrow Airport is the sixth busiest
airport in the world by passenger traffic and the busiest airport
in Europe.
Jacobs’s role includes overseeing design activities for the
airfield, highways and earthworks and supporting the IDT with a
range of engineering, planning and environmental services.
“Jacobs has worked with Heathrow Airport for the past 15 years
delivering both airside and landside projects,” said Jacobs Senior
Vice President Buildings and Infrastructure Bob Duff. “Around the
world, we’ve worked in collaborative roles for several major
terminal and runway expansion projects and, as a member of the IDT,
we look forward to contributing our proven expertise to help
Heathrow create resilient and efficient plans for sustainable
expansion.”
“With their institutional knowledge of Heathrow, and proven
record in building complex infrastructure projects, Jacobs and the
other members of the IDT will allow us to hit the ground running to
deliver Heathrow expansion,” said Heathrow Airport’s Head of Design
Barry Weekes. “Finalizing the IDT members is a significant
milestone in what will be a fast paced design and engineering
schedule. We are now well on our way to delivering Britain’s newest
runway, providing the additional capacity our country needs to
maintain its place in the world as a prosperous, outward looking
trading nation.”
Jacobs also recently won a three-year framework contract with
Heathrow Airport to provide inspection of civil engineering assets
and heavy rail, design consultancy, and a wide range of other civil
airport infrastructure works across the airport.
The company provides professional services to aviation markets
globally, including supporting programs for international airports
such as Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, Brisbane, Melbourne,
and Manchester. Services range from strategic planning and
financial consulting to planning, asset management, design, program
management and construction management.
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 over 54,000 people and operates in more than 25
countries around the world. For more information, visit
