New Manila International Airport Contract
Jacobs has been selected as program management consultant for the New Manila International Airport (NMIA) project in Bulacan, the Philippines by San Miguel Corporation (SMC).
One of the largest and most ambitious infrastructure projects in the country, the development includes construction of a new terminal, four runways and airport support facilities spread out over almost 6,200 acres (2,500 hectares) in the province of Bulacan.

SMC is investing approximately $14 billion USD (PHP 734 billion) into the project with the first phase to be operational within six years.
Program management services to be delivered by Jacobs during planning, design and construction phases include project scoping and management, contract development, strategic advisory, design management and scheduling, and financial planning.
