Bentley Systems issues Call for Nominations for the 2023 Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the infrastructure engineering software company, has put out a call for nominations for the 2023 Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure. The awards, which are judged by independent juries of industry experts, recognise infrastructure projects for incorporating digital advancements in infrastructure. The deadline for nominations is 8 May 2023.

Users of Bentley software are invited to enter their projects in the Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure programme, no matter which phase the project is in – preconstruction/ conceptual, design, construction, or operations.

The three finalists chosen for each awards category will win a trip to Singapore to attend the 2023 Year in Infrastructure and Going Digital Awards event, as guests of Bentley Systems. As part of the conference, the finalists will present their projects before the judges, industry thought leaders, and more than 100 media members.

The award categories include:

• Bridges and Tunnels

• Construction

• Enterprise Engineering

• Facilities, Campuses, and Cities

• Process and Power Generation

• Rail and Transit

• Roads and Highways

• Structural Engineering

• Subsurface Modelling and Analysis

• Surveying and Monitoring

• Transmission and Distribution

• Water and Wastewater

Submitted projects will be recognised for innovative advancements and measurable impacts in infrastructure and sustainability. Projects may be recognised for their economic impact and innovative use of Bentley software, including the iTwin Platform and infrastructure digital twins, 4D modelling, Infrastructure Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence.

Projects may also be recognised for advancements that empower sustainable development goals in terms of climate action, energy transition and efficiency, circularity of land and water resources, and fostering healthy communities.

In addition to the juried awards, Bentley’s Founders will honour select projects representing organisations or individuals whose undertakings contribute notably to infrastructure advancement and/or environmental and social development goals.

Every project nominated for an award receives recognition across the global infrastructure community in the following ways:

• Having their infrastructure projects profiled in Bentley’s Infrastructure Yearbook which is distributed in print and digital formats to media, government and industry influencers, around the world.

• Enhancing their competitive edge by demonstrating to existing and potential clients the value the participants add to projects through their digital innovations.

• Increasing their exposure to and coverage from global media and industry analysts.

Additional information on the 2023 Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure programme, and on nominating a project, may be obtained from the Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure website.

Improving collaboration with easier access to real-time videos and project design data

Evercam, a leading provider of construction camera software, has recently announced the addition of Evercam 4D View to Bentley Systems’ Powered by iTwin program. Evercam 4D View helps project teams leverage engineering and design data to better understand the construction sequence and communicate project plans to all parties involved.

The 4D View app combines real-time, high-quality video footage throughout the jobsite with a digital twin and allows users to switch between the model and reality to track changes and communicate progress. The app addresses the challenge of the volume of data available to project teams by connecting it with 4D planning, scheduling and analysis capabilities.

While BIM has significantly contributed to the improvement of communications, the construc- tion industry is still hindered by the inaccessibility of project data. Evercam 4D View allows all users on a project to share and interact with the model from within the Evercam platform.

Evercam 4D View allows users to easily switch between real-time footage and BIM models to make collaboration easier. Users can see any changes made to the BIM model and receive updates within the platform. 4D View provides users with a list of features from within the platform, including remote measurement, navigational tools and the ability to highlight anything from the 3D model, as the iTwin Platform recognises each element.

Evercam offers its customers unlimited user access, allowing team members from across the globe to work virtually together, ultimately improving safety, reducing risks, and creating greater efficiencies for the entire project team.
