Bentley Acquires LEAP for Concrete Bridges Design, Analysis
 EXTON,
PA, Jan 25, 2008 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that it has
acquired LEAP Software, Inc., a leading provider of analysis and design
products for concrete bridges. The LEAP bridge solutions are the industry
standard across North America, used by 37 U.S. state departments of
transportation, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, a large number of
city and county agencies, and top bridge engineering consultants. The
flagship product, LEAP Bridge, is an analysis, design, and load-rating
application that integrates all bridge design components into one
application with a single user interface. The LEAP products complement and
strengthen Bentley’s end-to-end bridge design and management solution, which
includes Bentley Bridge RM for cable-stayed, suspension, and segmental
bridges; Bentley BridgeModeler and Bentley LARS for bridge load-rating
calculation, analysis, and analytical modeling; GEOPAK Bridge; InRoads
Bridge; Bentley Rebar; Bentley PowerRebar; and many other products.
Commenting on this latest Bentley acquisition, Gabriel Norona, Bentley
senior vice president, said, “LEAP software is a critical addition to
Bentley’s bridge portfolio as we focus our efforts on bridge information
modeling (BrIM). Through a concerted BrIM initiative, we will leverage
intra-operations across these industry-leading solutions, enabling delivery
of safer, better-engineered bridges and opening a door to improved
deployment models for bridge construction, maintenance, operation, and
rehabilitation.”
Added Bhupinder Singh, senior vice president, Bentley Software, “The need
for a more comprehensive and systematic approach to bridge planning, design,
construction, operations, and maintenance has never been more critical. Our
world faces the incredible challenge of repairing aging infrastructure in
developed transportation networks and meeting the extraordinary demand for
new transportation networks in developing economies.
“By adding the LEAP analysis and design software to our rapidly growing
portfolio of integrated bridge products, Bentley advances its commitment to
helping users create new bridges and maintain and upgrade existing bridges
more efficiently and cost-effectively. On behalf of all Bentley colleagues,
I welcome LEAP Software users around the world to the Bentley user community
and LEAP Software colleagues to the Bentley team.”
Lee Tanase, former president and CEO of LEAP Software, now a Bentley vice
president, said, “All of us at LEAP Software are pleased to join the Bentley
team charged with developing innovative solutions that provide the
functionality infrastructure professionals need to sustain the world’s
bridges. Bentley’s vision of providing a comprehensive and integrated
portfolio of bridge products to address the lifecycle of bridge
infrastructure is exactly what our users – and the world – need.”
