Jacobs supports national passenger rail fleet modernization across Canada. By Railway USA - September 29, 2026 - 3 min Jacobs has secured a technical advisory and program management mandate from VIA Rail Canada to oversee the national operator's Long Distance, Regional and Remote fleet renewal program. The engineering initiative focuses on upgrading intercity, regional, and remote passenger rail operations by integrating new locomotives and rolling stock across Canada's national transit corridors. Rolling Stock Procurement and Network Scope The Long Distance, Regional and Remote fleet renewal program encompasses more than 300 units of rolling stock, replacing equipment across services connecting the Atlantic, Pacific, and Hudson Bay coasts. The asset replacement includes line-haul locomotives, passenger coach cars, sleeping compartments, and dining units configured to withstand cross-continental climate extremes and prolonged duty cycles. Jacobs oversees the complete delivery phase from its base in Montréal, working in collaboration with rail engineering partner SYSTRA. Engineering mandates cover manufacturing quality assurance, assembly oversight, dynamic track testing, subsystem commissioning, and Transport Canada regulatory compliance verification. This deployment follows the previous Corridor Fleet Renewal Program, which integrated 32 bi-directional trainsets along the high-density rail segment between Québec City and Windsor. Technical continuity from that corridor replacement informs the engineering parameters and testing protocols required for long-distance remote operations. Transit Engineering Management and System Integration The delivery phase coordinates specialized technical teams across Canada and international locations to supervise systemic compatibility, structural integrity, accessibility standards, and onboard power distribution. Engineering management protocols focus on standardizing vehicle mechanics, modern train control systems, passenger accessibility provisions, and lifecycle diagnostic telematics to replace legacy fleets built between the mid-20th century and the 1980s. Additional Context: This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement North American passenger rolling stock renewal programs must comply with federal crashworthiness standards set by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in the United States and parallel standards under Transport Canada regulations, specifically 49 CFR Part 238 Tier I structural requirements. In comparable intercity fleet modernization programs, such as Amtrak's long-distance procurement initiatives and the California Department of Transportation regional coach contracts, technical specifications benchmark Tier 4 EPA-compliant diesel-electric or dual-mode diesel-catenary locomotives paired with centralized predictive maintenance architectures. Fleet standardizations typically focus on EN 15227 crashworthiness principles adapted to North American buff strength mandates of 800,000 pounds, universal PRM (Persons with Reduced Mobility) clearance profiles, and closed-loop remote telemetry networks that lower per-mile maintenance costs compared to heritage stainless steel rolling stock.

Jacobs expands role on National Grid's Asset Health Intervention Programme. Five-year program supports modernization and resilience of the UK's transmission network Energy & Power Sep 23, 2026 DALLAS - Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been reappointed to National Grid's Asset Health Intervention Programme, securing the Central region and expanding its role to include the Southeast and Southwest regions. The five-year program focuses on renewing U.K. critical infrastructure to meet the future needs of consumers as reliance on electricity increases. Jacobs will provide multidisciplinary detailed design, design assurance and construction support, working with National Grid's Asset Operations teams to safely deliver upgrades on live network assets. Valued at more than $13 million (£10 million), the program covers more than 800 transmission assets across the U.K.'s Central, Southeast and Southwest regions. The work includes replacement and refurbishment of aging substation assets using standardized, programmatic solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs and support a resilient electricity network as demand grows and the U.K. advances toward net-zero emissions. Jacobs Executive Vice President Fiachra Ó Cléirigh said: "Reappointing Jacobs and expanding our role across multiple regions reflects the strength of our delivery and the trusted relationship we've built with National Grid. By combining global delivery capabilities with local teams, we're helping modernize critical infrastructure while improving efficiency, scalability and long-term network resilience." The program further expands Jacobs' support of the U.K. transmission system as the country's renewable and clean energy generation mix has grown from approximately 5% to 50% over the past 20 years, according to U.K. government statistics. Under the program, Jacobs, as sole supplier across the three regions, will deliver detailed design, data collection and construction support for the replacement and refurbishment of key transmission assets, including circuit breakers, disconnectors, surge arresters, instrument transformers and through-wall bushings. The regional programs include delivery of more than 1,380 asset replacements combined with ad-hoc emergency works to maintain supply security while developing standardized designs aligned with National Grid standards and minimizing disruption to live operations. National Grid Operations Director Paul Gallagher said, "Partnerships such as this are a key part of how we efficiently maintain a safe, reliable and resilient system for our customers and consumers. Our Asset Health Intervention Programme is designed to maximize the performance of our assets over their lifecycle. Jacobs is one of a number of partners supporting delivery on this important work." Delivery will be led by a dedicated U.K.-based team, working closely with teams across Jacobs' global business. This integrated, collaborative approach enables Jacobs to scale resources as needed, draw on the right specialist experience, and apply consistent design solutions, digital tools and automation to efficiently execute high-quality outcomes across a high volume of asset health interventions. This award builds on Jacobs' long-standing relationship with National Grid and reinforces the company's role as a key delivery partner supporting large-scale transmission investment in the U.K. and U.S. This includes Jacobs' role on the General Management Consultancy Framework, supporting business service operations, and the Design & Project Services Framework, which enables the full electricity and gas transmission lifecycle across the U.K. By leveraging lessons learned from previous programs and applying standardized, digitally enabled design approaches, Jacobs is helping establish a repeatable model for efficient asset renewal across the network.
