Bentley’s New AI-Enabled Open Applications Deliver 10x Faster Project Completion
New OpenSite+, Substation+ use AI, automation, and collaboration to speed work as demand strains engineering capacity. Demand for new infrastructures is growing faster than engineers can design and build them. By 2030, nearly 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas, placing immense pressure on already-strained resources. Bentley Systems has introduced a couple of Open Applicat...

Exploring Dutch water infrastructure masterpiece through Cesium 3D geospatial technology
The Netherlands is famous for its extremely low altitude, with a significant portion of the country lying below sea level. This paradox of living below water is only possible due to one of the world's most extensive and sophisticated water management infrastructures. Approximately one-third of the Netherlands is below sea level, and about two-thirds of the country is vulnerable to flooding from...

OpenFlows FLOOD Simulation Paves Way for Smarter ‘Sponge City’ Flood Mitigation
A new report is advocating for the widespread adoption of "sponge cities" as a vital, if not singular, solution to the growing threat of surface water flooding. According to the study co-authored by the Infrastructure Policy Advancement think tank, part of Bentley Systems, and Aqua Consultants, creating sponge cities could reduce the risk of surface water flooding for 4.6 million UK properties,...

SYNCHRO 4D: Your All-in-One Solution from Bid to Build
4D modeling, also known as 4D building information modeling (BIM), such as SYNCHRO 4D is helping construction companies win projects by visually presenting their plan. This process links a 3D model of a project to its construction schedule, creating a powerful simulation. Traditionally, construction companies win projects by submitting bids that show their proposed price, timeline, and work met...

How Bentley AssetWise Helps With Plant Management
Many industrial plants depend on dashboards and logs to manage their operations, but these tools can give a false sense of security. They often fail to account for hidden issues, which can lead to unexpected problems. What plants truly need are advanced digital tools that offer deeper data insights. For instance, Sitech, a company that works with chemical and production plants, had clients stru...

Bridging the Gap Between the Office and the Field With SYNCHRO 4D
For years, the construction and design industries have struggled with disconnected information and chaotic workflows. Important data gets stuck in separate systems, leading to conflicting information, outdated plans, and poor decision-making. While project complexity multiplies on the construction side, teams are still often forced to work from static plans that are out of date. However, modern...
