WSB | March 14, 2023
On March 13, 2023, Bentley Systems, a prominent provider of software for infrastructure engineering, disclosed a collaborative effort with WSB to boost the use of digital twins in the civil infrastructure industry.
To enable the civil infrastructure sector to adopt digital workflows and leverage the potential of construction digital twins, WSB has launched a novel digital advisory service and construction management solution powered by Bentley's SYNCHRO. The company has also become the inaugural member of the Bentley Digital Integrator Program for construction, available to engineering and project delivery firms that meet the eligibility criteria.
Bentley and WSB's initiative of digital construction management is changing the way infrastructure projects are carried out by combining cutting-edge technology with expert knowledge and creative solutions.
Their initiative of digital construction management is changing the way infrastructure projects are carried out by combining cutting-edge technology with expert knowledge and creative solutions. The capacity to produce constructible models from existing 2D plan sets and connect project, document management, and contract to the future of design—a 3D/4D/5D constructible model—are some of the critical services. Through this program, they hope to provide constructors access to the most advanced model-based construction management solution.
Carsten Gerke, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships with Bentley Systems, remarked, "Owners and construction firms realize that new digital workflows are needed to meet infrastructure demands. Applying these digital workflows successfully requires a deep understanding of technology, processes, and data."
