Engineers on Austin's Capital Express project, a major part of the $4.5 billion I-35 reconstruction, utilized advanced digital tools to significantly improve decision-making speed and project outcomes. By creating an integrated digital model that combined geotechnical data, hydraulic simulations, and utility records, the team could evaluate tunnel designs in hours instead of weeks, leading to a revised plan for larger, deeper tunnels. This digital transformation not only saved an estimated $200 million but also highlighted the shift in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry from speed-to-delivery to speed-to-insight.
