Better Performing Utilities Assets from Plant to Point of Service
From plant to point of service, productivity is essential for the utilities who plan, design, construct, and operate the world’s utilities infrastructure for power, gas, water, and wastewater. What do utilities want, need, and expect to ensure efficiency across their organizations? What technologies are available today and what can we expect in the future? The Utilities Connections introduction session will address topics of relevance to all types of utilities, including the positive impact on ROI of intelligent engineering applications, the value of BIM and its role in utilities, the impact of cloud technology on utilities workflows, new developments in meeting the challenges of subsurface utilities, best practices in engineering collaboration, and how to achieve operational excellence through better‐performing assets.

14:45
15:30
The role geospatial technology plays in utilities has evolved over past decades from simple mapping of network locations to enabling virtually every aspect of utilities operations – from the office to the field, and in communications with the public. The technology is fully integrated with mainstream enterprise and operational systems in utilities and is absolutely mission critical. This session will present innovative solutions for utilities GIS, network planning, distribution network design, modeling and analysis, transmission corridor mapping and analysis, and geospatial mobile apps. Learn about the role reality modeling, 3D visualization, subsurface utilities engineering, and spatially enabled views of engineering records play in bringing efficiency to utilities operations.

Design Integration with AutoPIPE: A Look at the Impact on the Bottom Line
Design, modeling, and information mobility go hand in hand to help increase design quality, project efficiency, and overall collaboration. The intelligent 3D models are key to accelerated project delivery, and information mobility is more than simply accessing files in multiple locations. The ability to pass information across project teams and disciplines, and through project lifecycle phases, in a controlled, secured manner is important. This presentation will provide real‐world examples of successful implementations of Bentley design and collaboration tools as well as the ROI delivered when employing these strategies.

Leveraging Reality Modeling Data in Engineering
With the rapid demand on designers for infrastructure expansion, management needs to make quick, yet better‐informed design decisions for long‐term impact and ROI. Using point‐cloud data, visualization tools and reality modeling helps create intelligent designs that leverage data based on the context of real‐world surroundings that enable superior designs and confident decisions. • Enable data reuse to increase ROI on large datasets.
• Create better designs faster with accurate data by understanding the reality of what is in the field.
• Decrease the risk of mismanagement and misuse of data to maintain document integrity.
Benoit Fredericque, Senior Product Manager, Bentley Systems
Integrating and Preparing Reality Modeling Data
14:45
15:30
When it comes to designing dependable infrastructure in the context of an existing environment, we need to rely on reality modeling data such as point clouds and 3D images. The raw data acquired by laser scanners and LiDAR sensors are frequently polluted with noise and benefit from being completed with some richer information such as color or classification. Often, massive point cloud files are too cumbersome and time consuming to work with. But they don’t have to be. This session will help you:
• Easily integrate and enrich reality modeling data.
• Easily create impressive visualizations and animations from your point‐cloud data.
• Save time and reduce data risk.
David Shearon, Senior Application Engineer, Bentley Systems
Utilizing Information Across the Enterprise
15:45
16:30
Maintaining reliable geospatial data associated with precise locations is key for the stakeholders in your workflow and for decision making. Bentley’s broad geospatial portfolio allows users to create, update, publish, analyze, and share 2D/3D maps across disciplines to better manage infrastructure. Bentley Map provides collaboration between geospatial and engineering standards to better support multi‐discipline project teams. The CAD/GIS gap is a thing of the past!
See how both CAD and GIS users have benefited from Bentley’s broad geospatial portfolio.
• Remove the gap between CAD and GIS workflows to improve ROI, save time, and improve collaboration. • Connect and reuse various types of data that already exist throughout the project lifecycle to maximize investment. • Bentley Map’s advanced interoperability with many data types to be leveraged throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Benoit Fredericque, Senior Product Manager, Bentley Systems
Ensure a Single Source of Truth in the Field
16:30
17:15
Unifying field and office workflows reduces errors and improves project and service outcomes. But it’s not about connecting to your desktop from the field, it’s about connecting an enterprise to thousands of mobile workers and updating large datasets quickly. Accessing valuable information in the field and sending redlines back to the office improves the efficiency of your project workflow and the accuracy of your CAD, GIS, or business data. • Enable field workers to quickly access large, up‐to‐date geospatial and business data via their tablets.
• Secure a single source of truth in the field, with or without network connectivity.
• Improve interdepartmental collaboration by leveraging i‐models.
