AEC Firms Expand Into Digital Twin Services

Consulting engineering firms such as WSP/Power Engineers and Jacobs are turning client data into real-time digital twins and interactive GIS dashboards, demonstrated in projects like Raleigh’s traffic pilot and PRASA’s resiliency platform in 2025. The implementations use NVIDIA, Esri, Microsoft Azure, and Palantir technologies to analyze video streams and sensor data with reported 95% vehicle detection accuracy. These services aim to improve operations, situational awareness, and infrastructure decision-making.
