"The win is another milestone for Jacobs and especially significant since this high-speed rail project is the first of its kind in South East Asia."

HSR is a strategic project between the Governments of Malaysia and Singapore, which aims to offer passengers better travel options between the two capital cities.

The project has terminus stations in Kuala Lumpur's Bandar Malaysia and Singapore's Jurong East.

Jacobs also secured a deal to work as the lead trackwork design consultant for the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line in Malaysia last month.

The 32.4mi KVMRT SSP Line will feature 8.4mi of rail tunnels, while the remaining distance will be built on elevated structures.

Jacobs currently operates in more than 25 countries worldwide and specialises in the provision of technical, professional and construction services for industrial, commercial and government organisations.
