Jacobs wins three UK National Highways contracts
Jacobs (NYSE: J) has secured three contracts with the U.K.'s National Highways, covering viaduct design work and project management services, according to a company press release.
Under the National Highways Technical Assurance and Asset Management Framework, Jacobs will deliver detailed design for Stages 3–5 of the M32 Eastville Viaduct in Bristol and preliminary design for Stages 1–2 of the M5 Wynhol Viaduct. The Eastville Viaduct serves as a commuter and freight corridor connecting Bristol to the M4 and M5 motorways. The Wynhol Viaduct work will assess structural needs and develop intervention options for the M5, a major north–south freight route.
Jacobs was also awarded a role on the Construction and Professional Management Services Lot 2 Project Management Services Framework, leading a multi-disciplinary team across a minimum of 15 schemes. The contract runs for an initial three-year period with two one-year extension options.
"These three strategic awards build on Jacobs' strong track record with National Highways," said Executive Vice President Richard Sanderson. "Together, we are focused on delivering resilient, future-ready infrastructure that keeps people and goods moving safely and reliably across the U.K."
Jacobs employs more than 6,000 people across the U.K. and also supports the Lower Thames Crossing program. The Dallas-based company reported approximately $12 billion in annual revenue and employs around 47,000 people globally.
