Discover how a high-security land-border crossing, San Ysidro Land Port of Entry (SYLPOE) in San Diego, transformed its operations with a purpose-built digital twin. As the busiest land port of entry in the Western Hemisphere, processing more than 70,000 vehicles and 20,000 pedestrians each day, the site required a modern, mobile solution to replace outdated, paper-based asset-management workflows.
In response, GSA Region 9 partnered with Jacobs, Esri, Autodesk, ProCon and Safe Software to design and deploy a secure, mobile-accessible digital twin that integrates ArcGIS Indoors, Autodesk Revit, ArcGIS Survey123 and IBM Maximo. This solution allows facility managers to interact with a live map of the entire campus, accessing, updating and synchronizing work orders and asset data in real time, all from the field.
In this webcast, you’ll learn how the team:
- Consolidated BIM, GIS and site data into one spatially intelligent system
- Defined functional requirements and aligned technology selections for a secure federal facility
- Empowered facility staff to edit assets, capture photos and report model discrepancies onsite
- Delivered a scalable solution to improve long-term asset data quality and emergency preparedness
Whether you’re focused on digital twins, GIS+BIM integration, facilities management or operational efficiency in sensitive environments, this session offers practical insights into building and scaling location-powered solutions that deliver lasting value.
Speakers:
Marin Pastar, AIA, NCARB, Global Principal - Digital Twins, Jacobs
Marin is a registered architect and innovation and technology expert with 20-plus years of AECO experience. Through his personal practice and project experience, he realized how disjointed the design and construction industry is as well as the vast amount of room for process improvement. As a result of his efforts to connect the AEC industry and improve his own projects, his career evolved towards technology and innovation. In his current roles at Jacobs, Marin is a strong advocate for the owners, leveraging his extensive AECO industry experience to help global teams discern project technology and innovation constraints and opportunities. He is passionate about developing the most suitable execution strategy that leverages advanced virtual design and construction tools and workflows in innovative ways to help streamline the design/construction delivery and achieve a digital twin handover of the built environment suitable for the owner’s asset lifecycle operation and management process.
Marc Goldman, Director AEC Industry Solutions - Esri
Marc Goldman is the director of AEC Industry at Esri. He works with a global team to define and deliver the strategy for Esri’s solutions serving architecture, engineering and construction. He is a leading expert in BIM, GIS, digital twins and their impact on the industry. Goldman began his career in the first days of CAD, led some of the earliest BIM efforts, and contributed nearly 30 years defining, developing, and delivering services and technologies for design, engineering, manufacturing and construction. He works with an international network of AEC executives creating joint ventures, partnerships and customer relationships. He is the vice-chair of the NIBS Digital Twin Integration Subcommittee, he is the co-chair of the Digital Twin Consortium AECO group and supports buildingSMART International on the Steering Committee for the Infrastructure Domain and the OGC+bSI Working Group. Goldman studied architecture and engineering at Tulane University. When he’s not skiing, biking or talking about AEC technology, he might be flying a single-engine plane as he’s working on attaining his private pilot’s license.
