Jacobs Engineering Group has secured a contract to provide design services for the Construction Package 2-3 (CP 2-3) of the California High Speed Rail in the US.
The deal represents the continuation of construction on the California high-speed rail system south towards Kern County.
Jacobs is the lead designer for the Dragados-Flatiron joint venture (JV) for the design-build contract and is responsible for the infrastructure design.
The California HSR, which will have operating speeds of up to 320 km/h, stretches from San Diego to San Francisco and includes connections in major cities along the alignment such as Los Angeles, Burbank, Palmdale, Bakersfield, Fresno and a spur to Sacramento.
The CP 2-3 is expected to provide 65 miles (97 kilometres) of infrastructure improvements required for the future HSR, including more than ten million yards of new HSR embankment, 23 HSR structures and 32 new roadway grade separations.
