Read MoreOpenFlows 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,...
Read MoreSYNCHRO 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...
Read MoreHow 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...
