Explain how your project has delivered improved outcomes for the organizations involved and, in turn, for the communities served by these assets.
Criteria
This category recognizes projects that demonstrate digital innovation in the planning, modeling and analysis, design, construction, operation, or maintenance of water infrastructure. We ask that you showcase your innovative use of Bentley applications, either independently or combined with other software—including OpenFlows software, OpenFlows digital twin cloud solutions (WaterSight, PlantSight, SewerSight), iTwin, OpenPlant, STAAD, PLAXIS, OpenRoads, SYNCHRO, ProjectWise, or AssetWise—across the entire project and asset lifecycle.
Please include any quantitative results relating to cost savings and productivity, as well as quality and safety, if applicable. Remember to include high-quality visuals—such as images, screenshots, animations, charts, videos, and diagrams—and provide actual models and product screenshots. We also ask that you provide examples of how you are leveraging digital twins and AI across the lifecycle to advance project delivery and enhance asset performance.

Criteria 4
Provide measured/quantified return on investment (ROI) achieved using Bentley software, including:
- Cost savings (energy efficiency, water loss, design, construction and maintenance costs).
- Time savings.
- Resource optimization.
- Risk management (mitigation measures and solutions).
Criteria 5
Showcase sustainability impact of the project (climate adaptation, society, community, safety, environmental, etc.), including:
- Energy savings.
- Lower carbon footprint.
- Improved resilience.
- Improved quality of life.
- Mitigated risk.
Submissions must include high-quality, engaging, and informative images, screenshots, models, simulations, animations and movies, charts, and/or diagrams.
