Indonesia Leverages Bentley Software to Build World’s Largest Refuse-Derived Fuel Plant
PT Wijaya Karya (WIKA) has recently completed construction for the Rorotan Jakarta Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Plant, a monumental project set to become the world’s largest facility of its kind. The IDR 1.28 trillion facility is designed to process 2,500 tons of municipal waste daily, converting it into 875 tons of sustainable fuel. To manage a project of this complexity, WIKA moved away from tradi...
Read MoreDigital Twins and IoT Spark a New Era in Mining Intelligence
According to a new industry report from Bentley Systems, 88% of mining organizations now recognize digital twins as high-impact technology, with nearly 90% already implementing or planning projects. For decades, mining data has been trapped in silos—split between geological reports, manual inspections, and disconnected sensors. The industry is now pivoting toward "Evergreen Digital Twins," virtua...

The Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) has successfully implemented a nationwide flood risk management strategy powered by Bentley Systems’ OpenFlows FLOOD software. By leveraging advanced modeling and digital twin technology, the agency has identified 22 critical flood-prone areas, enabling more effective risk mitigation and increased societal resilience. The core benefit of the Bentley softwa...
Read MoreEurope’s Aging Power Grid Faces Digital “Makeover” to Meet 2030 Climate Goals
With many distribution grids expected to exceed their 40-year lifespan by 2030, EU policymakers and industry leaders are pivoting toward a "digital-first" strategy to prevent the system from buckling under the pressure of the green transition. The EU electricity infrastructure currently spans over a million kilometers, serving 600 million customers. To meet climate targets, the grid must reach a ...
Read MoreThe Digital Blueprint: How Software is Turning Power Line Design Into an Art Form
How Engineers Design Overhead Power Lines Engineers have revealed that overhead power lines are not as simple as they appear; rather, they are a complex "masterpiece" of geometry and landscape integration. For years, engineers have achieved this by blending advanced math with 3D modeling through specialized digital tools. One of the tools most frequently used by engineers is PLS-CADD, a flagship...
Read MoreDigital Twin Tech Breaks Decades-Old Deadlock on Major I-95 Bridge Project
Engineering firm Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson (JMT) has successfully utilized high-tech 3D modeling and connected data known as digital twin to solve congestion on I-95 crossing over the Rappahannock River in eastern Virginia, in the United States. For decades, the I-95 crossing over the Rappahannock River was defined by chronic congestion and a "not-in-my-backyard" stalemate. Today, the proj...
Read MoreInnovative Digital Twin Model Set to Revolutionize Public Transport in Greater Cairo
To modernize its aging infrastructure, the Greater Cairo Region (GCR) is leveraging Bentley Systems’ digital tools to develop a new predictive multimodal transportation model. Implemented by CitiME, the project utilizes Bentley OpenPaths™ CUBE™ to establish a "robust digital foundation" for mobility analytics. This software enables planners to integrate multimodal data, mapping comp...
Read MoreCanada Taps Bentley Systems’ OpenPaths to Revolutionize Citywide Traffic Modeling
City of Edmonton in Canada has partnered with Bentley Systems, utilizing their OpenPaths DYNAMEQ and OpenPaths EMME software to develop a first-of-its-kind, citywide dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model. The initiative came after the city was planning to invest approximately CAD 1 billion for a new transportation master plan. Traditionally, city planners relied on static models that often strug...
Read MoreBentley Tech Summit: How Bentley Systems is Redefining the Infrastructure
The Bentley Tech Summit (BTS25) brought together more than 500 engineers, product managers, and software users to work side-by-side, signaling a shift in how the infrastructure giant develops its technology. Under the theme "Breaking Barriers to Build Value," the three-day summit functioned as a "hive mind" where the usual walls between software creators and software users were intentionally dism...
