Public criticism is often seen as a given for #RoadConstruction projects, but when lane closures and detours 🚧⛔️ are informed by data, you can avoid traffic jams — and the complaints that come with them — even on one of the nation's busiest #highway interchanges. We partnered with Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to construct new roads and ramps around Atlanta's hectic I-285/SR 400 interchange, using data from #OurJacobs teammates at StreetLight to find the right times to close lanes and monitor ongoing congestion to enable rapid response measures that keep traffic flowing. Check out the case study to see how the right data helped GDOT avoid public complaints while improving #RoadSafety and congestion on this critical corridor. ⬇️ http://jcob.co/bh7J50R8gKi #BoldlyMovingForward #DataSolutions #Infrastructure

Sustainability disclosure standards are evolving rapidly in some regional jurisdictions which has implications for how organizations manage and report ESG risks and opportunities. In particular, we’re starting to see “double materiality” approaches emerge. We take a look at the concept of “materiality” and what it means for the way organizations assess, manage and report on ESG risks: http://jcob.co/XJPk50R3YSm #Sustainability #ESG #ESGreporting #DoubleMateriality #Materiality

We’re working toward a brighter tomorrow – one that’s safer and healthier for us all. In Ontario, Canada, we’re undertaking remediation work for the City of North Bay. We were selected by the City and the Department of National Defence to lead a $14.7 million ($20 million CAD) project to remediate a site contaminated with "forever chemicals" like per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Our work will include excavating contaminated soil from a former firefighter training area and cleaning up and removing PFAS to protect Trout Lake, which provides municipal drinking water to homes in the area. 🚰 Follow the link below to read this recent CBC article where #OurJacobs Chemical Engineer & Senior Technical Consultant Carol Mowder and Project Manager Travis Tan share about the important work we’re doing for the City. http://jcob.co/IsN350R4iy6 #PlanBeyond #environmental #remediation
