Improvements will modernize infrastructure and
boost resiliency at Puerto Rican airport
DALLAS, Oct. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was
chosen by the airport's operator, Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC,
to participate in a selected group, to provide architecture
and engineering consulting services in support of capital
improvements at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in
San Juan, Puerto Rico. The capital
improvement program addresses infrastructure improvements,
increasing passenger and aircraft traffic demand, and mitigates
future climate change impacts.
At SJU, Jacobs will provide consulting services across airfield,
landside, infrastructure and facilities development efforts at the
airport – which currently accounts for more than 90 percent of the
island's total passenger volume and serves as a hub for the wider
Caribbean.
"At Jacobs, we look toward the future," said Jacobs Senior Vice
President Chrissy Thom. "With
passenger growth up over 40% at San
Juan's international airport in the last decade and a
changing climate impacting the island, preparing for what's next is
critical. We're shaping the future of safe, efficient air travel
and improving resilience for the island's transportation network
with smart, connected and secure systems."
Jacobs will support anticipated projects like taxiway
reconstructions, runway improvements, airport sustainability
efforts and a pavement management system. Grant management,
planning, design and construction oversight for all projects is
also part of the capital improvement program scope of work.
