PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it has been
awarded two contracts by Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd. (HEC) to provide
engineering services for the balance of plant facilities and the cooling
water intake and discharge system respectively for a 2,000MW
ultra-super-critical, coal-fired power generation project in Port
Dickson, about 60 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.
The Jimah East Power project involves building two units of 1,000MW

emissions with ultra-super-critical pressure generation.
Jacobs’ role includes the detailed civil and structural design for the
balance of plant (BOP) facilities and for the cooling water intake and
discharge system. The civil scope comprises bulk earthworks, storm water
drainage, underground sewer utilities, fencing and coordination of
various underground services, while the structural scope covers
foundation design for all BOP components and design for the cooling
water intake and discharge system components. Services also include
geotechnical design and local authority submissions, as well as
construction phase services.
The project is expected to be commissioned in two stages, circa 2018 and
2019.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Peter Brettell
said, “Jacobs has extensive experience in providing services for power
projects throughout the region. We’re delighted to contribute our
experience to this important project for Malaysia as it continues to
expand its power generation capacity to service its rapidly growing
economy and strengthen the national grid.”
