DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs
(NYSE:JEC) was awarded a contract to develop the program
requirements and standards that will transform Tyndall Air Force
Base (AFB) into a visionary Installation of the Future (IotF).
Jacobs is contracted as a subconsultant to KBR to support and
advance the redevelopment of Tyndall Air Force Base. The objectives
of reconstruction are to restore the full operational capability of
the installation to serve as the prototype for future IotF's.
Tyndall AFB located 12 miles
east of Panama City, Florida,
sustained a direct hit from Category 5 Hurricane Michael, one of
the strongest hurricanes to hit the U.S. in more than 25 years. The
devastating storm inflicted immeasurable, lasting damage across the
region and resulted in significant damage and destruction across
the installation.
"We view the post-disaster environment not only as a catalyst to
restoring operational capability for the base and its missions, but
also to help create a prototypical and definitional future
installation with a focus on resiliency and sustainability," said
Jacobs Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities Senior
Vice President for U.S. Federal Solutions Pankaj Duggal. "The key definitional solutions
include robust cybersecurity, SMART ownership systems, high
performance buildings, resilient and redundant energy systems, high
wind load structural solutions and resilient utility systems."
At Tyndall AFB, Jacobs has
transitioned the master planning effort into zone development plans
and completed 42 program requirements packages which comprise the
$2.8 billion Military Construction
Program funding request to the U.S. Congress. Additionally, Jacobs
is tasked with updating the installation's facility standards to be
consistent with IotF requirements, developing a master program
schedule, conducting analysis for delivery methods and preparing
reoccurring risk and opportunity planning in support of the Project
Management Office's efforts.
Jacobs has been a long-term partner with the Department of
Defense, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and local
communities helping them recover from natural disasters like
hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and flooding.
Jacobs rapidly established emergency program management offices
and assembled teams to provide immediate disaster response and
recovery assistance, deploying field teams as large as 300 people
to assist FEMA last year with emergency protective measures, damage
assessment, debris removal and restoration of public facilities,
including roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, water treatment and
individual homes.
Jacobs leads the global professional services sector providing
solutions for a more connected, sustainable world. With
approximately $12 billion in revenue
and a talent force of more than 50,000, Jacobs provides a full
spectrum of services including scientific, technical, professional
