Introducing Digital OneWater
Jacobs has been at the forefront of the global water sector’s digital transformation for over a decade. We pioneered the industry’s first digital twin of an entire wastewater treatment plant in Singapore. We harnessed smart sensors and AI to reduce sewer flooding for utilities in the U.S. and U.K. And, most recently, we formed a strategic partnership with Palantir to significantly reduce O&M costs at water and wastewater treatment plants.
Every day we’re using innovative digital technologies to improve how we plan, design, build, maintain and operate water and wastewater infrastructure. From improved flood prediction to reduced energy usage in facilities, we know better than anyone how data solutions are transforming the global water sector – and we’re bringing that deep domain expertise to our clients.
We identify Digital OneWater solutions across four key pillars of a utility’s operations:
-
Customer interaction
Enhancing the customer experience, e.g. with improved billing and collection tools or automated customer alerts.
-
Regulatory compliance
Ensuring water quality and compliance, e.g. with real-time contaminant monitoring tools or advanced controls for sewer flooding.
-
Planning & investment
Implementing capital improvements that are resilient and cost-effective, e.g. with tools for demand forecasting, flood prediction, or process simulation.
-
Operational performance
Optimizing the operational lifecycle, e.g. with predictive maintenance, automated operations, or reduced chemical and energy use.
“At Jacobs, our goal is to serve as a digital transformation partner and advocate for our clients. Our deep domain knowledge across the entire water cycle and asset lifecycle — from planning and design through to operations — means that we have a unique view on where digital solutions are best applied.”
