DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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,
