Utilities play the crucial role of planning, designing, building, and operating the infrastructure that powers many aspects of our daily lives.
Faced with competitive pressures, rapid rates of infrastructure growth and renewal, and increasing needs for critical infrastructure protection, utilities worldwide turn to Bentley to solve complex business problems. Electric and gas utilities worldwide rely on Bentley solutions for the design and management of distribution and transmission networks and for retrofits and expansions or design and construction of substations and power generation plants.
Bentley solutions for utilities rely upon a spatially enabled managed environment built on ProjectWise to manage utility workflows, to collaborate on document, drawing, and information sharing, and to facilitate interoperability with geospatial datastores such as Oracle Spatial or ESRI’s SDE. Utilities may design work orders or edit geospatial utility databases using Bentley’s desktop applications or choose a complete end-to-end infrastructure management solution from Bentley.
