| Jacobs secures contract with Gatwick Airport Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced it was appointed to a four-year framework contract by Gatwick Airport Ltd (GAL) in the United Kingdom to provide professional services support to its airport capital projects team in delivering Gatwick's planned $1.9 billion (1.172 billion pounds Sterling) capital investment program. GAL's capital investment program – extending to 2014 – is made up of hundreds of projects: some are large scale new infrastructure projects while others may be smaller scale, behind-the-scenes improvements. The contract aims to more effectively manage the capital investment program across a number of panels supporting GAL's goal to run an efficient airport operation and improve passenger experience, as well as quality of service. Under the contract, Jacobs may provide a range of services including project management, construction support, cost management and safety advisory services. GAL said that the current contract follows the company's selection in 2010 as a consultant for the operator's architectural and civil engineering design frameworks. Gatwick Airport is the UK's second largest airport and the busiest single-runway airport in the world. It serves more than 200 destinations (more than any other UK airport) in 90 countries for around 33 million passengers a year on short- and long-haul, point-to-point services. The airport is 28 miles south of London. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
