Bentley delivers solutions for the entire lifecycle of infrastructure, tailored to the needs of the various professionals who will work on and with that infrastructure over its lifetime.
Find out how Bentley is Sustaining infrastructure as you explore a range of topics covering solutions, products, learning opportunities, and more in the following insightful white papers.
- 3D City GIS - A Major Step Towards Sustainable Infrastructure
Local governments are challenged by growing city populations, leading to increasing demands on local infrastructure. As existing infrastructure deteriorates in these dense urban areas, new infrastructure must be built, event though most areas of the world currently face decreasing financial and environmental resources.
In the past, geospatial data was mostly 2D, but interest in 3D maps has increased dramatically. Today, it's widely recognized that 3D city models for visual simulation help support urban planning, and the promotion of tourism on the web.
- Power Generation
The Energy Information Administration predicts strong growth for worldwide energy demand – a 57 percent increase over 26 years. At the same time, governments around the world are establishing limits on the emission of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and mercury. Accommodating all these conflicting requirements means quickly bringing cleaner forms of power generation onto the grid and simultaneously upgrading existing fossil fuel power plants such that they can be operated without prohibitive expense while minimizing their environmental impact. To help meet these critical challenges, Bentley introduces the Bentley power generation solution for conceptual design, detail design, operation, and maintenance of power plants.
- Sustaining Infrastructure by A. B. Cleveland, Jr.
There is an increasingly significant level of urgency surrounding the world’s infrastructure. Bentley's mission has long focused on helping our users improve the world’s infrastructure by providing software solutions, products, and services that improve the productivity and quality of the work of infrastructure professionals throughout the lifecycle (design-build-operate) of infrastructure assets.
- Interoperability Platform by A. B. Cleveland, Jr.
Sustaining our society and our environment requires infrastructure. Driven by new technologies, new requirements, new partners, and focused on infrastructure assets bound to a specific geographic location, each infrastructure project is unique. But all face common challenges: increasing demands for lower cost and shorter schedules; project teams that consist of multiple,globally distributed organizations and much more.
- ISO 15926 - Lifecycle Data for Process Plant
By going beyond data handover, ISO 15926 has become the standard for interoperability and collaboration between complex data models of all types, including both 2D and 3D data models. This white paper explains ISO 15926 for the lifecycle data of process plants, its history and its business value.
- Best Practices in Front-End Design
Every year, owner-operators invest several billion dollars constructing new plants, revamping existing ones, improving safety and environmental compliance, and increasing system reliability. They invest even more in asset management and maintenance programs. This white paper presents Bentley's approach to addressing the workflow challenges faced by process engineers during front-end engineering.
- The Digital Factory: From Concept to Reality
A Bentley Solution Paper for Automobile Manufacturers. Bentley offers automobile manufacturers a flexible,scalable solution for planning, engineering, constructing, operating, and maintaining their manufacturing facilities. The Bentley solution for factories reduces costs in pre-production, compresses time to market, and preserves the valuable data generated from planning for use by all stakeholders, optimizing information management for the lifetime of the facility.
