Bentley OnSite Announced for Construction
 EXTON,
Pennsylvania, January 8, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today
announced
Bentley OnSite, breakthrough software that connects the worlds of civil
engineering design and construction. This new offering automates and
streamlines tasks for stakeout, inspection, and measurement in the field,
facilitating project management and helping ensure unprecedented levels of
accuracy during construction.
Employed in concert with industry-standard Global Positioning System
(GPS) hardware, the software runs on portable devices and is used by field
personnel in applications ranging from earthwork and grading to drainage,
utilities, and signage. By improving the flow of design information, Bentley
OnSite also brings benefits to the infrastructure owner, engineering
consultants, and contractors.
Commenting on the product’s significance to the construction industry,
Gabe Norona, senior vice president,
Bentley Civil,
said, “For the first time, field crews have powerful, automated tools that
operate with construction-ready project information. Bentley OnSite has
already proven its abilities in the field by dramatically increasing
efficiency and performance and decreasing project risk and costly rework.”
Bentley OnSite Streamlines Construction and Inspection
Bentley OnSite streamlines construction by taking design models directly
into the field, avoiding the pitfalls of disconnected design and
construction information. By integrating up-to-date electronic design
intelligence with on-site information from GPS hardware, field crews can, on
demand, automatically attain elevations, determine cut and fill, position
stakes at desired intervals and offsets, and accomplish a variety of other
critical tasks. This increases accuracy, decreases rework, and speeds
construction by eliminating the need for reverse engineering.
Bentley OnSite also streamlines the inspection process—everything from
locating, measuring, and verifying constructed features to generating
reports and records of project status. Rather than being encumbered with
paper documents, inspectors carry a single portable device containing
electronic versions of all pertinent documents and images, standards
manuals, specifications, drawings and plan sheets, contracts, construction
directions, and inspection forms.
With instant access to all relevant information, the construction
engineer is able to complete tasks correctly the first time, avoiding costly
errors and their ripple effects across the project. Where site conditions
require design changes, construction and inspection staff are able to
quickly assess the situation, and then make revisions and accurately record
them.
Delivers As-Built Project Status, Simplifies Records Management
Another feature of Bentley OnSite is its ability to routinely deliver
true as-built project status as stakeout and inspection updates are
completed. This ensures accurate construction, provides a critical record
that enables accurate and timely progress payments, and facilitates
maintenance, repair, and improvements throughout the lifecycle of the asset.
In addition, by eliminating paper documents in the field, Bentley OnSite
greatly simplifies the compilation and management of all construction
records. This reduces production costs and improves the ability of team
members to find and review essential information in a timely manner.
Field-Proven Technology Complements Collaboration Solution
Bentley OnSite has been field proven by several organizations, including
the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). In project after
project, this new software continues to demonstrate its ability to increase
efficiency and decrease project risk and rework by connecting designers,
surveyors, contractors, and inspectors for the benefit of all.
Although Bentley OnSite does not require any other Bentley software
products, in the case of NYSDOT, the OnSite solution takes advantage of a
statewide implementation of Bentley’s ProjectWise collaboration servers.
ProjectWise provides a single, scalable system for secure project
management, enabling distributed enterprises such as NYSDOT to collaborate
among internal and external teams of designers and construction personnel to
successfully deliver infrastructure projects.
