Energi Viborg, the primary utility company in the county of Viborg, Denmark, planned to expand their public service offerings by adding a fiber-based broadband network to serve the county (approximately 24,000 households and 2,500 companies).

Energy Viborg chose COWI A/S as the project management group responsible for planning, procuring, contracting, supervising and testing all phases of the fiber project.

COWI A/S understood that to design and manage a complex Fiber-To-The-Premise (FTTP) network, they needed design software that incorporated the engineering calculations necessary to the design the network and would create an intelligent network model that could be used to maintain and operate the network on an ongoing basis. They selected Bentley Fiber for the project.  In addition, they chose Bentley Inside Plant for modeling and managing the inside plant equipment found in the head-ends, Bentley Geo Web Publisher for web access, and Bentley PowerMap and Bentley Redline to plot maps and redline changes.  The common platform made it easy to share data and workflows throughout the project.
