Lifecycle Management of Public Infrastructure
Urbanization is increasing demands on resources and we are seeing an increased recognition of the value of asset management systems to manage the complex processes necessary to operate a diverse mixture of infrastructure assets. These asset management systems support urban infrastructure in roads, rail, streetcar systems, sewer collection networks and treatment plants, water and waste water networks and treatment plants, electric and gas utility networks, communications networks, airports, parks, public buildings, land management and more. Learn how Bentley solutions can help with the management and maintenance of urban infrastructure, serving public works departments, municipally managed utilities and agencies on a local, regional, and national scale throughout the lifecycle of the assets.
Tony Andrews, Solutions Executive, Water, Bentley Systems
BIM for Cities: From Modeling to Reality
13:45
14:30
Because of the complex nature of government projects and the requirement for collaboration across disciplines and project participants, many cities are adopting BIM processes to achieve more sustainable cities. Bentley is uniquely placed to deliver a truly BIM‐enabled solution, from 3D visualization for modelling and design, to Optioneering for performance improvements and an enhanced project delivery, to merging the physical and virtual to achieve an immersive rich data model throughout the lifecycle of the assets.

Federating GIS with the Power of Bentley Map
14:45
15:30
Municipalities, government agencies, utilities, transportation agencies, cadastres, and mapping firms all rely on GIS products to deliver surveying, imaging, mapping, analysis, cartography, and other geospatial routines. Cooperation and collaboration among municipal departments with a single data source can be very challenging. Using a federated GIS that provides a single source of truth improves project delivery and information consistency. Such a system helps deal with the rapid expansion of urban infrastructure and help to modernize cadastral information systems to ensure various departments have access to accurate cadastre and cartographic data. Bentley offers world‐class GIS capabilities with a range of geospatial products designed to meet these challenges.
