BrIM Overview | Bridge Technology Obstacles | Bridge Solutions
Large bridges are the most complex and expensive of any transportation asset. Ultimately, every process—from planning to operation and decommissioning—participates in the creation and use of an information definition of the bridge. Individual bridge practices evolve and even blend as BrIM takes place—providing leeway for sweeping process improvements.
Bridge Information Modeling can deliver excellent business benefits:
- Faster total process
- More design and construction per dollar
- Shorter schedules with more concurrent workflows
- Minimized cost overruns and conflicts
- Reduced claims and litigation
- Optimized processes
Collaboration is Key
Collaboration is essential to reaping the benefits of bridge information modeling. This is an area where Bentley provides an edge for engineering organizations.
Bentley ProjectWise is a collaboration system for connecting people and information across distributed enterprises. It works with the bulk of Bentley solutions and those of many of our industry partners.
42 of the top 50 leaders in the ENR500 use ProjectWise to manage, find, and share asset content—engineering and operations data and documentation—to successfully deliver their infrastructure projects.
