Bridges and tunnels

Improving asset performance requires understanding how bridges are behaving over time and identifying risks before they become failures. By connecting inspection, monitoring, engineering, and operational information, owners can make more informed maintenance decisions, prioritize investments, and improve long-term infrastructure reliability.  

Resilient infrastructure starts with understanding how assets may be affected by aging, increasing traffic demands, extreme weather, and changing environmental conditions. By combining engineering, geotechnical, structural, and operational information, owners can better assess risk, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize investments that improve long-term performance and reliability. Bentley and Seequent solutions help connect surface and subsurface information to support resilience planning. 

Reducing construction risk begins with better coordination and visibility across project teams. Connected digital workflows help identify issues earlier, improve collaboration between disciplines, and provide access to accurate project information throughout delivery. Bentley’s digital delivery solutions support more informed decisions during planning, design, and construction, helping teams reduce costly rework and keep projects on schedule. 

Bentley supports digital delivery through connected workflows that bring together bridge modeling, analysis, detailing, documentation, and project information. OpenBridge Designer, OpenBridge Modeler, and OpenTunnel Designer help multidisciplinary teams improve coordination, manage design changes more efficiently, and maintain consistency throughout the project lifecycle while supporting BIM and digital delivery requirements. 

Digital twins provide a connected view of infrastructure assets by bringing together engineering, inspection, monitoring, and operational information. This helps owners better understand asset performance, improve collaboration between teams, support maintenance planning, and make more informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of bridges and tunnels. Bentley’s iTwin and AssetWise solutions help organizations create and maintain trusted digital representations of critical infrastructure. 

Ground conditions have a significant impact on the safety, performance, and cost of bridge and tunnel infrastructure. Integrating geotechnical information into engineering workflows helps teams better understand subsurface risks, improve design confidence, reduce uncertainty, and support safer and more efficient project delivery. Bentley and Seequent solutions help connect geotechnical and engineering information throughout the asset lifecycle. 

Modern inspection programs rely on connected data, reality capture, and digital workflows to improve efficiency and decision-making. By providing better access to asset information and condition data, owners can streamline inspection activities, improve reporting consistency, and maintain a more complete understanding of infrastructure health over time.
