| Jacobs receives contract for Energy Centre at Heathrow Airport US engineering giant Jacobs Engineering announced that it has received a contract from BAA to provide full-spectrum engineering design services for the new Energy Centre and associated distribution systems at London Heathrow Airport. The new Energy Centre, which combines a substantial Combined Heat and Power element, renewable fuels and conventional plant technology, will mark a significant step toward fulfilling BAA's commitment to a low-carbon strategy for the campus. When completed, the Energy Centre will serve the heat and power demands of the new Eastern Campus development and allow for expansion as part of a long-term strategy to link airport-generating assets. In this project, Jacobs will combine renewable fuel and technology expertise with full multi-disciplinary infrastructure and building design capability, and will provide energy demand profiling, technology performance modeling and assessment of full life environmental, commercial and maintenance options prior to developing the scheme design. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
