Complex infrastructure project will support
facilities for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at U.S.
Department of Energy's Fermilab's Illinois site
DALLAS, Feb. 25,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) was named the
Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) for the Long-Baseline
Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Near Site Conventional Facilities project
located at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois.
Fermilab is one of the premier U.S. particle physics and
accelerator laboratories studying the mysteries of neutrinos, the
most abundant particles that have mass in the universe. Jacobs will
provide project and construction management and safety oversight
support for above-and below-ground buildings and enclosures that
house the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Near Detector
and supporting infrastructure.
Jacobs has a long track record delivering complex underground
and deep concrete infrastructure programs. Key projects include,
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Grand Central Madison
program, the RiverRenew Tunnel Project, the Northgate Link Light
Rail, the Ohio River Bridges East End Crossing Tunnel, and the
Thames Tideway Tunnel (one of the largest water infrastructure
projects ever undertaken in the U.K.).
"Building upon our 10+ years supporting Fermilab, our selection
for this contract demonstrates Jacobs' experience delivering
infrastructure projects for some of the world's most advanced
scientific facilities," said Jacobs Executive Vice
President Susannah Kerr. "This
project particularly showcases our in-depth knowledge in deep
surface excavation and foundation systems, construction of complex
research facilities, construction safety and intricate concrete
structures and directly supports the potential for scientific
discovery."
"The DUNE program and LBNF facility will perform incredible,
world-leading science enabled by an amazing and complex experiment
system constructed in both Illinois and South
Dakota," said LBNF/DUNE-US Project Director Jim Kerby. "Because of this, the construction of
the science facilities require excellence at every level of
engineering through execution. This is an important step in
realizing the long-term performance of LBNF/DUNE."
As the host laboratory for DUNE, Fermilab is collaborating with
funding agencies and more than 1,400 scientists and engineers
worldwide to study neutrinos using massive neutrino
detectors at Fermilab in Illinois
and the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The total project cost exceeds
$1 billion. Construction is expected
to commence in 2025.

downturn, increased uncertainty and risks, including policy risks
and potential civil unrest, relating to the outcome of elections
across our key markets and elevated geopolitical tension and
conflicts, among others, and the impact of any future pandemic or
infectious disease outbreak, including the related reaction of
