Leverages Jacobs' design services and data solutions, including
Aqua DNA
DALLAS, June 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected by the City of Omaha, Nebraska, in the U.S. to
develop a real-time control decision support system for the city's
wastewater collection network. Jacobs will provide design services
and data solutions to develop a strategy that maximizes the use of
existing assets while reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs).
The project will deploy Jacobs' Digital OneWater solution, Aqua
DNA, to collect Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system data and inputs from new and existing sensors that monitor
system parameters like flow and rainfall. Together with hydraulic
modelling, machine learning and artificial intelligence, this
platform will provide real-time insights to improve sewer system
performance, optimization of operational costs and long-term
environmental benefits to the Missouri River watershed aligned with
the City of Omaha's Long Term
Control Plan.
"Jacobs served as Program Manager for the City of Omaha's $2
billion CSO Program from 2006 to 2023, overseeing dozens of
projects to reduce combined sewer overflows that protect public
health and local water quality," said Jacobs Senior Vice President
Ron Williams. "With extensive
knowledge of the city's wastewater operations, we will now deploy
data solutions to support the city's journey toward an integrated
and secure smart sewer system that optimizes the collection system
and CSO control."
The contract scope involves the design of three Long Term
Control Plan capital projects, including modifications to
collection system control structures to actively manage flows in
real time. Jacobs will leverage the data platform to evaluate
alternative control schemes for these new structures that reduce
overflows to the environment. Jacobs will also develop
cybersecurity protocols to enhance the city's communication network
and SCADA systems security.
The deployment of Aqua DNA adds to the City's use of Jacobs'
suite of Digital OneWater tools and continues to build on Jacobs'
Palantir partnership. Replica and Argon are already
being used to support the planning for future asset upgrades and
the optimization of operational assets that serve over 600,000
people reliant upon the City's wastewater collection and treatment
systems.
"This project will provide far-reaching opportunities to
improve the overall operations of our wastewater collection
system," said City of Omaha Assistant Public Works Director
Jim Theiler. "Jacobs' digital tools
give us insight to deliver improvements that benefit the
environment and our Omaha
community."
