Balfour Beatty announced that Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), its recently acquired professional services business, has been awarded three new contracts to manage high-speed and intercity passenger rail projects in Illinois, Ohio and Florida.
"We are delighted to have won these contracts. Building on PB's several decades of planning and analysis of high-speed rail in the US, and extensive experience of the design and management of high-speed rail projects in Asia, we are now a key player in implementing these important rail projects in the US," said chief executive Ian Tyler.
The Illinois Department of Transportation selected PB as programme manager for the high-speed rail, 284-mile signature route from Chicago to St. Louis, with $1.1bn in Federal high-speed rail funding targeted for this project.
The Ohio Department of Transport appointed a PB-led team to provide consultant services for the development of a new intercity passenger rail service on an existing rail freight corridor in the Cleveland-Columbus-Dayton-Cincinnati "3C" corridor, a distance of approximately 250 miles. The project has been awarded funding of $400m by the Federal Railroad Administration.
In Florida, PB will lead the consulting team selected by the Florida Department of Transportation to undertake the planning and design of a 230-mile high-speed rail line between Orlando and Miami.
