project delivery and design
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) received four awards
from leading industry organizations in the transportation and
construction sectors. Jacobs, in partnership with its clients, won
a National Transport Award, two British Construction Industry
Awards and an Institution of Structural Engineers award.
“These awards are a testament to the strong commitment of our

competitive advantages,” said Jacobs Buildings and Infrastructure
President Bob Pragada. “Our people are focused on providing our
clients the best, most innovative and cost-effective solutions to

The National Transport Awards (NTA) 2017 presented the Essex
County Council, which was supported by Jacobs, the prestigious
Transport Local Authority of the Year accolade. Jacobs has been
supporting Essex County Council through the Ringway Jacobs Essex
Framework, created in 2012, to deliver a highway network for the
area. The NTA award recognized the strong collaborative culture and
multi-disciplinary approach of the project.
Jacobs also enjoyed double success at the British Construction
Industry (BCI) 2017 Awards, in recognition of the Heysham to M6
Link Road and British Airways i360 projects.
Jacobs has been working on the Heysham to M6 Link Road with
Lancashire County Council since 2008 to deliver the project through
the design, assessment, statutory process and construction stages.
The scheme, which received the Infrastructure Project of the Year
accolade at the BCI 2017 Awards, has been able to reduce travel
times and cut congestion with significant social and economic
benefits.
The Judges' Special Award at the BCI 2017 Awards went to the
British Airways i360, a futuristic vertical pier designed to
replace the historic West Pier. Jacobs provided engineering design,
project management, construction design management coordination and
inspection services.
The Institution of Structural Engineers also recognized Jacobs
