City and Government infrastructure software solutions are specialized digital platforms designed to help public agencies plan, design, build, and operate critical civic assets. These solutions provide a connected data environment that unifies information across the entire lifecycle of a project. By using these tools, municipalities and government agencies can streamline workflows, improve collaboration across external contractors, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver safer, more efficient public infrastructure. 

Bentley Systems provides comprehensive software and digital twin solutions for a wide variety of public infrastructure. We support municipal and government agencies in managing transportation networks (including roads, highways, bridges, rail, and transit), water and wastewater systems, power grids, and public works. Our technology empowers agencies to manage the entire lifecycle of these critical assets, ensuring they remain resilient, sustainable, and capable of serving the community for decades to come.

A digital twin is a virtual, real-time representation of a physical asset or system, such as a bridge, water network, or even an entire city. For government projects, it allows you to simulate, analyse, and optimize performance before and during operations. By leveraging a digital twin, you can improve infrastructure resilience, increase efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and make smarter, data-driven decisions without impacting public services.

Yes. Security is our top priority, especially for government agencies handling sensitive information. Bentley's connected data environment, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, is FedRAMP Authorized, meeting the high standards of security and data protection required for use for example by United States federal agencies. This ensures your project data is managed in a secure, compliant, and reliable environment.

Our software creates a connected data environment that breaks down information silos between different agencies, engineering firms, and contractors. This ensures everyone is working with the same trusted information, reducing errors and delays. For citizens, this same data can be used to create clear, visual updates on project progress and performance, enhancing public transparency and building confidence in your stewardship of public funds.

Absolutely. Bentley's solutions are designed to help you plan for the long-term impacts of climate change and urbanization. You can use our software to model the effects of extreme weather events, analyse the carbon footprint of different design choices, and optimize asset performance to extend lifecycles. This empowers you to build and maintain more resilient and sustainable infrastructure for the communities you serve.
