Bentley Systems, Incorporated, one of the leading global providers of comprehensive software solutions for advancing the design, construction and operations of infrastructure, has announced its call for nominations for the Year in Infrastructure 2020 awards programme
The deadline for nominations is May 1, 2020.
The Year in Infrastructure Awards is an integral part of Bentley System?s annual Year in Infrastructure Conference. The conference, which will take place from 12-15 October at the Vancouver Convention Centre, brings together infrastructure professionals and industry thought leaders from around the world to share best practices and learn about the latest advances in technology that will improve infrastructure project delivery and asset performance.
Winners are announced during the gala awards dinner at the culmination of the conference.
Every project nominated for an award receives recognition across the global infrastructure community. Through the Year in Infrastructure Awards programme, participants:
Gain global recognition by 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.
Enhance their competitive edge by demonstrating to existing and potential clients the value they add to projects through their digital innovations
Receive media coverage from global media and support from the Bentley team in marketing and promoting their respective projects to the media
The Year in Infrastructure 2020 Awards will recognise outstanding achievements for infrastructure projects and assets including 4D digital construction; bridges; buildings and campuses; digital cities; geotechnical engineering; land and site development; manufacturing; mining and offshore engineering; power generation; project delivery; rail and transit; reality modelling; roads and highways and others.
Additionally, projects that represent Bentley?s mission of advancing infrastructure but transcend the narrower focus of the individual category awards can be considered for special recognition awards including:
Advancements in digital twins for project delivery (project digital twins) for a project using a digital twin to gain useful insights, such as understanding the impact of change and design alternatives or highlighting issues with the quality of project data, to more effectively collaborate with the extended project team or to model the performance of a project and its construction.
Advancements in digital twins for asset performance (performance digital twins) for a project involving an operating infrastructure asset that uses a digital twin to gain useful insights to improve the performance in areas such as throughput, safety, compliance, or maintenance, to evaluate the relative impact of different operational strategies, to support training operational staff, or to support remote operations.
Advancements in sustainability and resilience for a project that has been designed or an infrastructure asset that is being operated to achieve better sustainability (lower carbon footprint, better use of renewables, reduced environmental impact) or higher resilience (ability to withstand and recover from man-made or natural disasters, adaptability to changing conditions).
