Bentley iTwin Capture Helps Transform City-Scale Digital Twin Development Across India

Almondz Global Infra-consultants Limited is helping transform city-scale digital twin development across India through the Government of Gujarat’s Project NAKSHA.

Using Bentley’s iTwin Capture, the company created highly accurate digital twins by processing more than 100 terabytes of drone, LiDAR, and geospatial data, including over 500,000 images.

The project supports smarter urban planning, disaster management, and property assessment, while setting a new benchmark for large-scale geospatial data management in India.

Using iTwin Capture, Almondz streamlined reality modeling by integrating drone imagery and LiDAR data into a single digital workflow.

The solution reduced 3D mesh reconstruction time by 40%, saved nearly 1,800 work hours, cut manual LiDAR editing by 30%, and lowered project rework by more than 35%, resulting in 12%–14% production cost savings and 50% overall workflow savings.

The completed digital twins provide municipalities with a reliable digital foundation for flood modeling, utility planning, and sustainable development.

Early estimates also indicate the project could increase municipal revenue by 10%–15% through more accurate property tax assessments, setting a new benchmark for city-scale geospatial data management in India.

Engineers have developed a methodology using PLAXIS 2D to simulate tunnels built with the Traditional Method of Madrid (TMM), offering a faster alternative to complex three-dimensional analyses. Used in the Madrid Metro since 1917, the TMM divides tunnel excavation into small sections, typically less than 5 square meters. Each section is temporarily supported with timber […]

How Bentley Software Is Helping Keep Mumbai’s Massive Sea Bridge on Track

Mumbai’s Versova-Bandra Sea Link (VBSL), a 17.17-kilometer, eight-lane bridge set to become India’s second-longest, is being built with the help of digital project management software designed to keep a hugely complex construction effort organized and on schedule. Once finished, the bridge will connect Versova to Bandra and is expected to cut commute times sharply for […]

Automated Calibration Streamlines Travel Demand Modeling

Automated calibration is helping transportation planners make travel demand modeling faster, more efficient and responsive to changing travel patterns. Traditionally, calibrating travel demand models required months of manual adjustments to ensure model results matched real-world data such as traffic counts, transit ridership and household travel surveys. Automated calibration simplifies the process by using optimization algorithms […]
