The government’s Public Works Regional Laboratory in Tai Po provides construction material compliance testing services for public sector projects.
It forms part of the Civil Engineering & Development Department series of public works laboratories, which comprise a central laboratory and five regional ones. Jacobs will manage and operate the Tai Po laboratory with 21 lab-based staff for three years.
"We have established a sound, long-term relationship with the Civil Engineering & Development Department, gained through various infrastructure projects,� Jacobs group vice president Tom Quinn. “We are pleased to provide additional capabilities to further support the effective operation of their laboratories, while at the same time adding a new business line to our Hong Kong operations."
