Bentley AssetWise Helps Highway Authorities Improve Road Asset Management Across England

Managing one of the world’s busiest highway networks requires fast access to accurate infrastructure information. To support safer roads and more efficient maintenance, England’s national highway authority adopted Bentley Systems’ AssetWise platform to modernize the way it manages road assets and engineering data.

Previously, information was spread across multiple systems, making it difficult for engineers to quickly locate accurate asset records and coordinate maintenance activities. Bentley AssetWise provided a centralized digital information management platform, bringing engineering documents, asset data, and maintenance records together in one connected environment.

With improved access to reliable information, engineering teams can make faster decisions, reduce duplicate work, and better plan inspections and maintenance across the highway network. The platform also improves collaboration between departments by ensuring everyone works from the same up-to-date asset information.

By digitalizing infrastructure information management, Bentley helps highway authorities improve operational efficiency while supporting safer, more reliable road networks. The solution also provides a stronger foundation for long-term asset lifecycle management, enabling infrastructure owners to extend asset life, optimize maintenance investments, and deliver better service for road users.
