Rainfall in late 2015 finally delivered relief to Brazil, bringing water levels in São Paulo’s largest reservoir, Cantareira, above pump level for the first time in more than a year and a half. From proposals to preliminary design, the tool streamlines the design development of concepts and facilitates making informed, defensible decisions that enable project advancement. By integrating the three main conceptual components of early project planning (facility design criteria and footprints, construction cost estimates and life cycle cost estimates) the tool provides a quicker and clearer picture of project scope and cost than traditional conceptual estimating techniques. One of these unique tools is Replica Parametric Design software, which generates conceptual-level designs and cost estimates for municipal and industrial water and wastewater projects that facilitate sustainable and economical decision-making early in the project.
These challenges are exactly why Jacobs developed Replica, our suite of digital twins solutions software, which is comprised of several tools.
These complexities present challenges for municipalities and industries to manage water in a sustainable and economical way. With population growth, aging infrastructure and climate risk, the management of water resources is becoming more complex. In Australia, one researcher highlighted how more Aussies are bonding over daily flat whites than craft beer.Ĭommercial coffee is produced by a small number of plants grown in just a few places around the world, and in 20, when the worst drought in a century plagued Brazil – one of the top global coffee producers – costs skyrocketed and rumors about running out of joe began to swirl.Īs our global climate faces future uncertainty, the world’s coffee producers (and lovers!) could face even greater challenges – and in Brazil, coffee production is just one of its drought-influenced issues. São Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest cities, almost completely ran out of water during the 2014/15 drought.īut what if we showed you how Jacobs-designed digital twins solutions and software converged to help São Paulo explore options – in 3D – for a more resilient, drought-proof and secure future supply of another world-beloved beverage, water?Īround the world, communities like São Paulo are working to sustainably manage water resources for a variety of needs. A survey from the Centre for Economics and Business Research found Brits drinking 25 million more cups per day than they were a decade ago. After all, we went through about 161 million 60-kilogram bags of it worldwide in 2018.Īccording to a Reuters survey, Americans are drinking more coffee than ever. Whether you’re a year-round iced coffee devotee, can’t roll without cream and sugar or count down the days until Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Lattes annual arrival – there’s no doubt coffee is loved worldwide.
