Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced today that it is on a panel of three consultants responsible for delivering more than A$100 million (US$88 million) in airside capital expansion projects for the Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) in Brisbane, Australia.
BAC expects passenger numbers to more than double by 2034, and plans to invest more than A$2.5 billion (US$2.2 billion) over the next decade to enhance the airport. Since being appointed to the panel in May 2014, Jacobs has secured four projects with BAC. Under the terms of its contracts, Jacobs is providing:
- concept design of a new multi-level car park at the domestic terminal; including network roads, connection points and access ramps;
- concept development and apron grading for the Western Terminal; including preliminary development plans for the proposed new terminal and supporting aprons, taxiway links, airside drainage and perimeter roads;
- oversight of the upgrade of 11 existing Movement Area Guidance Signs adjacent to Runway 01/19 due to recent structural failure; and
- subconsultant services to Airbiz for airfield planning consulting associated with a new parallel runway project.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Michael Shirley stated, “We are pleased to serve on the BAC panel and to have secured these contracts. Our combination of project management skills, knowledge of advanced technology systems, and global experience in the construction and delivery of aviation infrastructure and facilities enable us to offer exceptional support to the BAC as it strives to reach its goals to build critical infrastructure.”
