Highlights Opportunities Creating a More Connected, Sustainable
World (Photo: Business Wire)
“We work with public- and private-sector clients to address some
of the world’s most significant and complex issues—managing vital
resources like water and energy; improving the mobility and
resilience of communities; and harnessing data and intelligence for
smarter, safer facility operations,” said Jacobs Chairman and CEO
Steve Demetriou.
Demetriou added that the shortage of skilled technical and
engineering professionals drives greater demand for advanced
solutions with connectivity and sustainability embedded. “This is
what’s meaningful to our customers, and it’s especially rewarding
for our people, because every day, we have a hand in shaping a
better future.”
With its recent acquisition of CH2M, Jacobs leads the technical
professional services sector with the industry’s foremost experts
in critical issues like energy and the environment; water;
transportation; smart technologies and cybersecurity. Throughout
the week, these experts are sharing their experiences with their
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers and
STEM education, while encouraging current and future engineers to
explore more than 3,000 job opportunities in the combined firm.
Among many examples of groundbreaking work Jacobs professionals
perform for public- and private-sector clients around the
world:
Building for extremes: Building in extreme environments
and remote locales presents unique challenges, from design and
material selection, to sourcing and transport of materials and
labor. To enable creation of structures with on-site materials with
limited labor, Jacobs teams are deploying additive construction
technologies with mobile emplacement.
For customers like NASA, the solution includes 2D- and
3D-printed structures made from local materials to build facilities
in remote arctic regions, and eventually, planetary outposts, where
additive construction substantially reduces complexities and costs
for materials, labor and transport, from earth-bound and space
vessels alike.
Smart and sustainable transport: Accelerated urban
population growth is propelling increased public reliance on mass
transportation and social rideshare services in cities around the
world. At the forefront of this trend, Jacobs is piloting transit
solutions employing aggregated analytics and sustainable management
approaches to make multimodal transportation systems more agile and
efficient to accommodate dynamic and growing demand flows.
In Canada, the company is leading the charge identifying
opportunities for wireless electrification of the country’s largest
commuter transit system. The GO rail network is exploring the
possibilities of providing 6,000 weekly trips by 2025, powered by
hydrogen fuel-cell technology as a clean, efficient energy choice
versus conventional diesel or overhead electric wires, while also
enabling faster, more frequent service.
Additionally, Jacobs is deploying advanced analytics enabling
multimodal agility and data-driven investments to continuously
improve transit networks around the globe. With solutions that
crunch aggregated data from mobile phones, cycling apps, smart
cards, social media and GPS, customers can reliably assess their
most critical system needs and implement changes that promote
increased efficiencies and ease of use.
The rise of resilient communities and businesses: Amidst
unprecedented urban population growth, many of the world’s cities
and companies face a triple threat of aging infrastructure,
constrained resources and rising risks to people and property.
Jacobs leads in providing a range of resiliency solutions to help
communities and businesses prepare for and recover from natural,
socioeconomic and cyber threats.
For the Port of San Francisco, the firm is leading a
comprehensive resiliency program to integrate a variety of
enhancements while reducing seismic and flooding vulnerabilities.
The urban coastline initiative includes a 3.5-mile long seawall and
associated infrastructure improvements to protect vital public
spaces and infrastructure that support the city’s waterfront
destination and thriving economy.
For the intelligence and defense community, Jacobs is building
data analytics cloud-based solutions that help customers sift
through extremely large volumes of vital mission data and quickly
identify, collaborate and act on imminent threat vectors. These
solutions are also helping companies and government agencies become
more cost-effective.
During the week, read interviews and stories from Jacobs
