Public works and infrastructure

Bentley’s municipal engineering software solutions break down data silos, enabling seamless collaboration between engineers, municipalities and operators. By utilizing 3D modeling and open digital twins, you can visualize existing underground utilities, design roads, and model resilient water networks in a single interactive environment. This prevents costly on-site clashes, reduces project schedules, and ensures infrastructure is built to last. Learn more at:

Bentley offers flexible subscription-based licensing designed to support individual users, teams, and organizations. Options include role-based access, shared licenses, and enterprise-wide subscriptions, enabling teams to scale usage, manage costs, and access software and services as project needs evolve.

A digital twin provides public works departments with a continuous, real-world virtual model of their municipal assets, spanning roads, bridges, water and sewer networks, and public spaces. By combining design data, reality modeling, and real-time IoT sensors into a single pane of glass, Bentley Systems digital twin solutions eliminate the headache of navigating disconnected systems. With an accurate, live view of your entire infrastructure, your team can easily monitor asset health, safely conduct remote inspections, and proactively address maintenance issues before they impact the community.  

Bentley helps you transition from a reactive, crisis-driven maintenance model to a highly efficient, preventative approach that keeps public assets running safely and smoothly. 

With aging assets and constrained budgets, municipalities must make every dollar count. Prioritizing investments requires a clear, data-driven understanding of asset condition, risk, and service impact. Rather than relying on spreadsheets and guesswork, public works agencies can use Bentley Systems AssetWise software solution to consolidate, analyze, and manage trusted asset information from the field or office. 

AssetWise enables your agency to perform sophisticated risk-prioritization, easily ranking capital projects based on safety, regulatory compliance, and community needs. By transforming complex field data into actionable capital plans, Bentley empowers public works leaders to confidently allocate funding where it will deliver the greatest return on investment for the tax-paying public.
