DALLAS, TX, May 20, 2025 – Jacobs is working to enhance data center development using NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for AI. The approach focuses on improving the design, simulation, deployment, and operational efficiency of AI-focused digital twin environments.
Jacobs will evaluate and refine the blueprint workflow to support simulations of equipment performance, throughput, and system resilience. The blueprint aims to integrate power, cooling, and network systems within digital representations of AI-focused facilities. This collaboration allows engineering teams to design and simulate factory environments, helping to identify potential issues and improve overall system reliability.
“For more than a decade, Jacobs has used digital twin technologies for clients in water and transportation – revolutionizing the way we design, build, operate and maintain critical infrastructure,” said Jacobs executive vice president Koti Vadlamudi. “Now, AI data centers are being built and intelligently designed with digital twins – creating precise, real-time replicas of physical infrastructure to predict potential issues, optimize operations and positively influence energy consumption – ensuring a more connected and sustainable future for our communities.”
Jacobs is solving production load demands across the data center, energy, and water sectors. In Portugal, the company is delivering a 1.2-gigawatt AI-scale data center at the SINES DC Campus, which will operate on renewable energy and use a zero-water cooling system. In the United States, Jacobs serves as program manager and owner’s engineer for Xcel Energy’s transmission and distribution reliability program and is also responsible for designing and managing the construction of a wastewater reuse system supporting data centers. In Australia, Jacobs is providing master planning, schematic design, and engineer services for PsiQuantum’s utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers in development.
