Bentley Civil Design’s Answer to the New Normal: The Digital Twin
Friday, May 15th, 2020Francois Valois, vice president, Civil Engineering with Bentley Systems spoke at Bentley’s recent Civil Design Virtual Press Briefing about the current state of civil engineering and how we now need to do things differently. Civil infrastructure will continue to need to accelerate, according to Valois. “There has been an enormous infrastructure deficit over the years. Any time we stop accelerating we make the problem worse. Now we have social distancing, and funding challenges. Projects may be funded by a special tax on gas, for example. In addition to this, we have to stay home and when we’re onsite we must have less people onsite and find new ways to work. Our answer is the digital twin, and helping our users to go digital.”

However, that technology will be put to the test during this pandemic as more people may need to utilize it and forgo so many face to face meetings. Plus, infrastructure must continue to be constructed and repaired, some of which will be used to support the growing need for specialized facilities.
