Reflections from Rwanda: Building the Gatongati Bridge with Bridges to Prosperity

A journey of purpose and connection The team’s journey began months before arriving in Kigali. From February to June, they trained, planned and bonded virtually across time zones. Once on the ground, they immersed themselves in Rwanda’s rich cultural context by visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial and exploring Akagera National Park. These experiences helped the team connect deeply with each other and the community they would serve. Building more than a bridge Over nine days of construction, the team worked side-by-side with B2P staff and local community members to bring the Gatongati Bridge to life. From installing suspension cables and deck panels to painting abutments and handrails, every task was a shared effort. The build was marked by laughter, song and dance with shared moments that transcended language barriers and brought the Jacobs team and local community together. The Jacobs team also had the opportunity to help train the community team, who will maintain the bridge for years to come. The Jacobs team also visited G.S. Nyagisozi Technical Secondary School, where nearly 1,000 students welcomed them with songs and smiles. For many, this was the most memorable moment of the trip—a reminder that the bridge is not just infrastructure, but a pathway to opportunity. Celebrating the inauguration On June 20, under clearing skies after a night of rain, the Gatongati Bridge was officially inaugurated. Local officials, B2P staff, Jacobs teammates and villagers crossed the bridge together, singing in celebration. The team returned home with new perspectives, deeper cultural understanding and

Jacobs launches innovation studio for water and environmental treatment solutions

Our communities expect clean water and a healthy environment to support livelihoods and ecosystems. To address growing environmental challenges, Jacobs has launched an innovation studio focused on advanced treatability testing for contaminated land and water. Located in Corvallis, Oregon, the studio provides a collaborative space to scale up site-specific testing and evaluate customized solutions. The work includes in-depth contaminant analysis—looking at physical and chemical properties—to determine the most efficient treatment options. The innovation studio also supports the development of new technologies, such as advanced soil vapor sampling tools, to enhance remediation efforts. Furthermore, Jacobs is addressing contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and piloting treatment methods for emerging threats in water supplies. Performing bench-scale testing in the studio provides timely, bespoke feedback to our clients to support business-critical decision-making. This feedback drives model development and serves as an important screening step in tackling the cost-effective remediation of these challenging compounds. Another key focus of the studio is sustainable reuse. By analyzing site-specific waste and repurposing it for local treatment applications, the team aims to reduce landfill use while contributing to long-term cleanup strategies. “The global understanding of environmental contaminants is evolving, and we continuously challenge how we approach remediation,” says Jacobs Global Solutions Director for Remediation and Regeneration Sharon Minchak. “It’s essential to integrate sustainable reuse goals while maximizing cost efficiency for our clients. We’re excited to co-create these solutions in the studio alongside clients, vendors and academic collaborators.” Staffed by Jacobs' environmental specialists, the studio builds on the
