Bentley Systems Brings Digital Innovation to Infrastructure Week

As part of Infrastructure Week 2026, Bentley Systems is highlighting how advanced software can bridge the gap between design efficiency and project delivery. While modern engineering technology allows complex designs to be completed in a fraction of the time compared to previous decades, physical construction projects remain slowed by bureaucratic permitting bottlenecks and outdated processes.Bentley’s digital solutions are designed to modernize these antiquated systems by introducing greater transparency and efficiency. Central to this approach are digital twins—immersive 3D virtual models that centralize project data, such as design specifications, environmental history, and regulatory information.

Technology help modernize antiquated systems and provide “source of truth” to maximize transparency across federal, state, and municipal agencies for infrastructure projects.

By providing a single source of truth, these models allow all stakeholders to access consistent information, which helps streamline the complex permitting process.

Furthermore, Bentley is utilizing artificial intelligence to accelerate project timelines. Their AI-driven software can instantly analyze environmental impact submissions to verify compliance with necessary criteria, identifying potential issues before they reach a human reviewer and saving months of administrative delay.

Additionally, by deploying unified data platforms, Bentley helps harmonize the fragmented software systems currently used by federal, state, and local agencies.

By overcoming these complexities with digital tools, Bentley aims to help the U.S. maximize the impact of infrastructure investments, improve economic competitiveness, and deliver necessary projects for a 21st-century economy.

3D models and connected data helped propel the I-95 Rappahannock River Crossing project in northern Virginia.
