Trio of contracts.

Construction giant Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced last week a bevy of new contracts from some major international corporations.

The $8 billion Pasadena company won contracts from a trio of United Kingdom companies--pharmaceutical maker GlaxoSmithKline PLC, railroad operator Network Rail Ltd. and energy company Magnox Electric Ltd.--as well as a contract extension.

GlaxoSmithKline awarded a multi-million dollar, 2-year deal to Jacobs as an alliance contractor for two of the company's manufacturing facilities in Singapore. The total value of the contract was not disclosed.

Jacobs was one of five companies to receive a framework contract for the track switch and crossing designs of the U.K. rail system. Jacobs' portion is worth up to $12 million for three years of work.

Though that contract is relatively small, Jacobs Group Vice President Michael Higgins released a statement saying the deal was a step toward building a stronger relationship with the company and hinted at possible future deals.

"We look forward to continuing to support Network Rail as they enhance and improve rail transport in the U.K.," he said.

To round out the trio of deals, Jacobs also announced it will provide project management services for work on nuclear reactors in the U.K. under a two-year contract with Magnox. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

In addition to the deals, Jacobs also secured a five-year contract extension with Bethesth, Md.-based Lockheed Martin Corp. The contract covers design and construction management for the aerospace company's Missiles & Fire Control division in Orlando, Fla.
