The Transpennine Route Upgrade will deliver
faster, more frequent and more reliable journeys across the North
of England
DALLAS, Feb. 3, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been selected by Network Rail
as Technical Services Integration Delivery Partner for the
Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), a transformative, major program
of railway improvements planned to deliver faster, more frequent
and more reliable journeys along a 70-mile route with 23 stations –
stretching from York to
Manchester, via Leeds and Huddersfield.
As the Integration Delivery Partner, Jacobs is sole provider on
an eight-year framework providing technical system integration
services to the TRU program during development and construction.
Jacobs' scope of services includes technical system integration,
custodian of scope, cross-project integration, technical change
control, development engineering and design, and program business
case production.
"The Transpennine Route Upgrade will deliver significant
benefits by moving more essential goods by rail, bringing better
journeys to passengers, advancing decarbonization efforts and
fostering community prosperity,"
said Jacobs Executive Vice President Kate Kenny. "Our extensive experience on TRU and
other essential rail investments will support a sustainable
approach that meets the needs of the community."
TRU is being delivered by several organizations, including
Jacobs, and is focused on a common mission to deliver the greatest
value to communities along the route. Jacobs has provided various
asset management services, including a system level analysis to
inform the route's performance modeling, developing a common data
environment and a digital twin for the program. Jacobs also managed
the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental
Assessment Methodology) Infrastructure assessment for the Leeds
Station Capacity improvement, the first TRU project to achieve the
BREEAM Infrastructure Excellent rating. In 2024, Jacobs helped
Network Rail deliver the first electric trains running east out of
Manchester and manage a series of
complex closures along the route to enable key improvement
works.
Jacobs also supports the TRU social impact program. Between
April 2019 and October 2024, the TRU social impact program
delivered a significant social return on investment through the
employment of 320 apprenticeships, engagement of more than 54,000
young people in STEAM (Science Technology, Engineering, Arts,
Mathematics) delivery of 19,900+ days of work experience, and
$693 million (£547M) spent with local
businesses and $353M (£279M) with
Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Jacobs draws on global rail infrastructure delivery experience
on programs like New York
City's Grand Central Madison project, the U.K.'s
Elizabeth line, Malaysia's Klang Valley Mass Rapid
Transit and Etihad Rail,
one of the largest infrastructure efforts in the United Arab Emirates.
