In our technology-driven world, digital representations of physical assets, processes and systems – better known as "digital twins" – are rapidly becoming a preferred practice across markets. In this webinar you’ll learn how Digital Twin solutions enable optimal use of resources allowing solutions to be investigated and tested without putting equipment, public health or the environment at risk.

The rush for renewable generation and recent system events have revealed a range of technical limitations causing constrained development and heightening concerns that a less resilient power system now exists. In this webinar we present several issues affecting power system resilience, including the impacts of short-term events and long-term trends.

In this video, we discuss cybersecurity maturity, industrial control systems, data breaches, network access control, the Internet of Things and more with Susan Howard, Director, Federal ICS Cybersecurity, Jacobs; Eric Conway, former Technical Director, Cybersecurity, Jacobs; and Dean G. Hullings, Global Defense Solutions Strategist, Forescout.

The Power industry is experiencing an unprecedented pace of change compounded by the pursuit of a zero-carbon future. What if we showed you how an increase in long-term energy storage capacity could support renewable energy generation to meet net zero emissions targets? In this webinar we present the results of our latest technical paper on energy storage, analyzing possible storage technologies, offering indicative development strategies, and providing insights into creating a functioning market to de-risk investment in long-term storage.

Delivering power projects in remote locations under challenging site conditions and schedules can add additional risks to projects. To effectively manage these risks and ensure successful project delivery requires an unwavering commitment to safety by all members of a team. In this webinar, we present two successfully completed projects as case studies of how to create a safety culture within a project team.

In this webinar we’ll look at how new digital solutions are helping the industry better manage and maintain water infrastructure. Technology has replaced the proverbial “crystal ball” and is providing real-time maintenance predictions through more complete data, improved data consistency and faster data processing. Learn how Artificial Intelligence and digital innovations are being employed to enable more accurate management of these age-old issues.

This webinar is focused on One Water: An Integrated, Inclusive Approach to a Sustainable Water Future. If we think differently about water and view all water as a valuable resource, we can work to tackle the issues that impact people and move beyond traditional silos to bring an integrated, inclusive approach to a sustainable water future for all.

The broad utilization of hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in our drive toward a decarbonized, sustainable future. Jacobs and Yarra Valley Water recently teamed up to deliver a thought leadership paper which asks ‘what if’ the growth of Australia’s hydrogen industry could be supported by co-located hydrogen production at wastewater treatment plants? In this video we discuss the unique role that water utilities could play in hydrogen production with Simon Prunster, Energy & Emissions Specialist at Yarra Valley Water, Michelle Freund, Senior Economist at Jacobs, and Henry Swisher, Energy Markets Consultant at Jacobs.

The properties that sat vacant or underutilized for weeks or months during COVID-19 shelter in place orders may experience water and air stagnation, uncontrolled humidity, and dry sanitary systems that could lead to health risks when occupants return. This video, featuring Jesus Garcia Aleman, Jacobs Global Surface Water Technology Leader, and Charles Funk, Jacobs Global Building Systems Solutions Director, focuses on both water and air quality issues within buildings - a topic not only relevant to building owners and property managers, but to returning occupants.

Jaason Englesmith, Global Technology Leader for Smart Metering at Jacobs, Jason Shaw, Project Manager for AMI at the City of Columbia, SC, and Josh Braman, Global Subject Matter Expert for AMI Implementation at Jacobs, discuss how Jacobs is adapting delivery of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) projects during COVID-19 and the recent success the City of Columbia has had keeping their field installations on-track with accommodations for social distancing and modifications to customer engagement.

In this episode, our guests Dina Salvaggio (Jacobs Principal of Healthcare Consulting, APG) and Donn Sorensen (Executive Vice President of Operations, Mercy Health Ministry) discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the American healthcare system, in such areas as workforce challenges, financial ramifications, and the evolving role of virtual medicine and technology.

Coastal cities globally face many challenges in delivering a safe, affordable and resilient environment for their residents and economy. Added to the pressure of increasing populations and aging infrastructure, is the accelerating impact of climate change, which in the coastal context includes the challenge of sea level rise and coastal storms. OECD research (2013), suggests that across 136 coastal cities globally the population at flood risk could rise from 40 million today to 150 million by 2070, with a corresponding risk of over US$1 trillion of losses per year.
