FAQS
Bentley provides a unified workflow that connects site intelligence, structural engineering, and 4D construction scheduling. By integrating Bentley’s PLAXIS for geotechnical analysis, STAAD for structural design, and SYNCHRO for construction scheduling, teams can de-risk projects, optimize layouts for high-density racks, and speed up delivery. This collaboration ensures designs are accurate and aligned, reducing costly on-site rework and scheduling delays.
Yes. Our solutions follow open standards and integrate seamlessly with third-party CAD, BIM, and enterprise systems. Using ProjectWise and the iTwin Platform, you can consolidate disconnected data sets into a single pane of glass. This interoperability ensures all project stakeholders, from designers to contractors, speak the same language, facilitating smooth collaboration and eliminating data silos.
To accelerate delivery, hyperscale developers use 4D scheduling software like Bentley's SYNCHRO. SYNCHRO combines 3D BIM models with project schedules to create a dynamic 4D visual simulation of the construction process. This allows teams to dry-run sequences, identify spatial clashes, and optimize logistics beforehand. Visualizing these sequences helps compress schedules, improve safety, and manage complex builds efficiently.
Infrastructure digital twins compile and visualize real-time data from design, construction, and operations. Using the iTwin Platform, owner-operators gain a complete virtual view of their facility. This helps monitor asset performance, track cooling efficiency, and manage power consumption. Having this real-time visibility enables smarter operational decisions, simplifies compliance, and maximizes data center uptime.
Modern data centers, especially those built for AI workloads, are massive facilities with incredibly heavy structural loads from high-density server racks and complex cooling systems. Geotechnical analysis software, like Bentley’s PLAXIS, is crucial for assessing soil-structure interaction. It allows engineers to confidently design deep foundations, mitigate settlement risks, and ensure the long-term stability of the site before construction even begins.
