Port of Corpus Christi's Use of Digital Twin Tech With Darrell Keach and Rex Hansen

Port of Corpus Christi's Use of Digital Twin Tech With Darrell Keach and Rex Hansen

The concept of “Smart Cities” is here! 🚨 Immersive digital twins to replicate and augment reality with real-time data is not the future — it's happening right now at the Port of Corpus Christi! 😱

In this episode, I’m joined by Darrell Keach, Business Systems Manager for the Port of Corpus Christi, and Rex Hansen, Principal Project Manager at Esri, to show a live demo of their cutting-edge digital twin project…. 👇

A massive 3D replica of the port that pulls in REAL-TIME data to track ship movement, enhance safety, boost operational efficiency…and even preview future activity in the port!

Yeah…you read that right. This isn’t theory. They built it. And it’s working.

It started with ports, but the tech they built for this can be replicated for other uses, from individual transportation hubs like railway stations and airports…all the way to entire counties! 😲

This is one of those rare episodes that gets you thinking: “Dang, is this where we’re headed?” And the answer is…yes. 👍

Check this out and see how your role as a civil engineer might change in the (very) near future.


🧠 TUNE IN TO LEARN:

  • Why the Port of Corpus Christi invested in a digital twin
  • How digital twins fit into the "Smart City" concept
