Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Dallas, Tex.; www.jacobs.com) was awarded a contract from Eastman Chemical Co. (Kingsport, Tenn.; www.eastman.com) to provide capital construction, maintenance and turnaround services at its facilities in Longview, Texas, and Kingsport, Tennessee.
This contract represents additional maintenance services scope at the Kingsport facility where Jacobs has previously provided capital construction services. The company will also expand its delivery to maintenance and construction at Eastman’s Longview facility.
“Our execution approach drives increased productivity while delivering cost efficiencies through resource and program operations synergies,” said Jacobs Construction, Maintenance and Turnarounds Senior Vice President and General Manager Stephen Hillier. “This enterprise-wide delivery model allows us to create value for Eastman, which they can use to drive their innovation and sustainability efforts.”
Jacobs has supported Eastman’s vision since 2010, providing construction support for major capital projects at its largest manufacturing sites.
