BIM ADVANCEMENTS & GOING DIGITAL
Bentley’s 2017 Infrastructure Yearbook recognizes and records the
outstanding accomplishments of Bentley users who design, construct, and
operate the world’s infrastructure. It highlights the more than 400 remarkable
projects nominated in the annual Be Inspired Awards program. Each project
demonstrates the vision and talent of the infrastructure professionals who
have applied innovative strategies to achieve significant BIM advancements
for improved project delivery and asset performance.
Underlying these strategies are Bentley’s “Project Playbooks” of software
for advancing infrastructure. Leveraging Bentley’s apps, applications, and
services, project teams from around the world have developed advanced
digital design, analytical, construction, reality, and asset performance
modeling workflows that enable better project delivery through greater
information mobility and improved asset performance through greater depth
of information modeling.
These digital workflows can enable new business opportunities, such as
conceptioneering, the process of quickly creating multiple iterations of
a conceptual infrastructure design model with engineering content at
the beginning of a project, to constructioneering, the process of bringing
engineering data directly to the field to drive construction workflows
and equipment, during construction and into operations. It can also
mean inspectioneering, which is the process of bringing as-operated
and continuously surveyed, engineering reality meshes into digital
engineering environments, enabling engineers to inspect and evaluate
infrastructure assets from any location. And, operationeering, the process
of bringing engineering data into the production and operations phases of a
project and using that data to drive operational workflows, ensure reliable
production performance, facilitate predictive maintenance, and improve
asset reliability.
The projects featured in this yearbook illustrate the outstanding BIM
Advancements for Going Digital of infrastructure professionals around the
globe. Among them are a project by Mott MacDonald and the Costain, VINCI
Construction Grands Projets, Bachy Soletanche Joint Venture to update the
east section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel in London; a Guinness World
Record-setting structure built by JCM2 in Simi Valley, California to support
a skydiver in a 25,000-foot freefall jump; a new airport in Sanya, China that
is being constructed on an artificial island reclaimed from Hongtang Bay;
and a project using drone technology and reality modeling to standardize
the inspection of Italy’s 11,800 radio base stations.
In Malaysia, the MRT Corporation used Bentley applications on the first
metro project in Asia to adopt a BIM Level 2 strategy for the development
of the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya rapid transit line. To develop the
Sewer Master Plan 2041 for five municipalities in Rio de Janeiro’s Region
of the Lakes, AEGEA utilized Bentley software to compare scenarios for
improving operation efficiency.
With the 2017 Infrastructure Yearbook, Bentley celebrates the year’s most
2017 INFRASTRUCTURE YEARBOOK
inspiring infrastructure projects by users of its software. It also recognizes
the commitment of the infrastructure professionals and organizations
responsible for their design, construction, and operation to advancing the

At 2.97 kilometers, the Vam Cong Bridge is the second cable-stayed
bridge spanning the Hau River with a central span length of 450 meters,
the second largest in Vietnam. The bridge will connect the Lap Vo district
of Dong Thap province with the Thot Not district of Can Tho City, providing
a catalyst for development in the Mekong Delta region. With an H-shaped
tower for scenic purposes, the structure is expected to become a regional
landmark. A joint venture of engineering consultancies designed the
bridge and JVTek performed static and dynamic analysis during the
technical design and construction stages.
JVTek used RM Bridge to ensure static and dynamic safety conditions
in the design of the bridge structure. This analysis led JVTek to propose
using a supplemental wind cable during construction to secure dynamic
stability of the bridge and to recommend using RM Bridge to calculate
aerodynamic coefficients. Completing this analysis saved time and the
cost of wind tunnel tests on the estimated USD 271.5 million project.
Using Bentley’s bridge design and analysis software optimized structural
integrity on a tight deadline. Project Playbook: RM Bridge

space and production zones. Over 10 companies were involved in the
project, so the utilization of a BIM methodology was necessary to expedite
decision making and focus on quality assurance during construction.
MicroStation was crucial in replicating the detailed topography of the
area—it reproduced the terrain based on information from the Geospatial
Information Authority of Japan in just minutes, when, previously, the
modeling took months. Real-time data sharing augmented consensus
building, and collaboration among stakeholders with MicroStation
eliminated redundancies and drawing oversights, which cut design

Estaco S.A.
Armored Transmission Towers
Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
During the long-running conflict with a leftist rebel group, Colombia’s
electricity infrastructure came under repeated attack. The group used
explosives to destroy transmission towers, cutting power to millions of
people. Estaco S.A. was part of the design team that worked with the
Colombian armed forces to design armored transmission towers for
Colombian energy provider ISA that could withstand the explosives and
continue to transmit electricity.
The goal of this USD 3.5 million project was to design a tower that would
not collapse when subjected to an explosion. Estaco used STAAD.Pro
to model the tower based on as-built information and simulate attack
scenarios created by explosives engineers. By testing different structures
