Millions of miles of water, sewer and storm system pipes lie beneath our cities and streets. These pipe networks and conveyance systems are the support system for our way of life, transporting safe drinking water to customers and moving wastewater and stormwater to treatment facilities and discharge or reuse.
Addressing aging water infrastructure, meeting regulatory requirements and making these systems more sustainable and resilient is crucial to ensure communities have safe and reliable water, sewer and storm systems. Climate change and urbanization place continuing pressure on those systems to perform for future generations.
Leading major conveyance, storage and tunnel programs around the world, including the Doha South Sewage Infrastructure Programme; New Zealand’s largest-ever wastewater project, the Central Interceptor; and London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel, Jacobs continues to be recognized as a gamechanger in trenchless technology. We’re ranked as the No. 1 design firm in Water Transmission Lines and Sanitary & Storm Sewers by Engineering News Record.
