Bentley Systems has forged several partnerships that make it easier to share realistic construction simulations with a broader audience. This goal is to help drive the adoption of digital twins across the construction industry.

Digital twins promise to be a key enabler as the construction industry races to catch up with demand for new facilities and new layouts in the wake of COVID-19.

Due to growing population growth and urbanization (the ratio of the world’s population living in urban environments is expected to increase from 55% in 2018 to 68% by 2050), global demand for construction output is expected to rise sharply.

If organizations are looking to start going digital, the best way to achieve that goal is implementing digital twins. But first, it is important to understand what a digital twin is and how it works.

Recently, Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D, hosted a roundtable discussion with four other technology executives to discuss trends circling around the AEC industry and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kerry Newbanks, Industry Solutions Advisor for Bentley, discusses partnership with Lane Construction to help update construction delivery to digital workflows, allowing for better alignment, transparency, and data insights among all stakeholders.
