Jacobs serves as EPC Contractor for Project of the Year

Posted: 26 May 2004

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced that a subsidiary company participated in a Canadian heavy oil project that Alberta Construction Magazine named "Project of the Year 2003."

Jacobs served as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for Imperial Oil Limited's Cold Lake Project Phases 11-13 (Mahkeses Central Plant), a new bitumen production facility located at Cold Lake, Alberta.

Completed without a lost-time injury with over 4 million hours worked, this $650 million expansion, of which Jacobs participated in $330 million, is Imperial Oil's latest installment in the longest running mega-project in Alberta. Mahkeses also came in without major delays or cost overruns, which Alberta Construction cited as the main reason for the project's top ranking.

In the magazine's feature article, Imperial Oil's senior materials/service advisor Ron Huculak said the company focuses on safety, predictable performance, and flawless execution when choosing contractors.

In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Phil Stassi stated, "This project was extremely challenging in terms of both schedule and cost. In spite of the challenges, the team (Imperial, Jacobs, and Ledcor) worked together to make this project a great success. We are very proud of this accomplishment."

Jacobs, with over 35,000 employees and revenues approaching $5.0 billion, provides technical, professional, and construction services globally.
