Challenge
Collecting, managing and updating data for infrastructure projects can be a real challenge. Engineers spend an estimated 35% of their time searching for critical data that affects planning and delivery. Another difficult part of infrastructure planning is resource utilization, as it involves balancing multiple constraints related to cost, time, and quality.
Solution
Using HERE Lidar Data, Bentley Systems built digital twins that enabled visualization and collaboration in one place by layering thousands of kilometers of up-to-date lidar data on top of their digital twins. Bentley customers can also add their own layers of data to the digital twin and order bespoke datasets from HERE or other providers.
Impact
Bentley collects, manages and updates data assets more efficiently, reducing the cost of asset maintenance for teams working both on-site and remotely by an estimated 30%.
By identifying assets and their condition with fewer site visits, Bentley Systems achieved a decrease in the number of road closures by 15%-20% and minimized economic and societal disruptions.
Protect crew safety by avoiding dangerous site visits. Orbit GT 3DM can also help reduce risk and litigation on construction projects as it makes liability clearer from the start.
