facilitate real-time monitoring of construction activities, optimising schedules,
reducing delays, and controlling costs. These technologies also enhance stakeholder
collaboration, minimise risks, and ensure seamless project execution.

The sheer scale and volume of data created from design to maintenance makes
infrastructure a prime area where AI will have great impact. Bentley has been
investing in AI for several years in areas from asset operations to road maintenance,
now infrastructure professionals can enhance the design phase of the infrastructure
lifecycle. Bentley OpenSite+ is the first engineering application leveraging generative
AI for civil site design which helps engineers swiftly design residential, commercial,
and industrial sites with AI tools, significantly boosting productivity and accuracy.

Could you elaborate on specific examples of how Bentley Systems’ technologies and
solutions are currently being utilized in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to support
the development of high-quality and sustainable roads and highways, highlighting

the key benefits and outcomes achieved?

Bentley’s software solutions are at the forefront of precision-driven and sustainable
road development. Our digital twin technology, combined with 5D Building
Information Modeling (BIM), enables comprehensive visualisation, cost tracking, and
optimised construction planning. OpenRoads and OpenBridge offer end-to-end
solutions for road and bridge design, empowering engineers to model, simulate, and
analyse various scenarios before construction begins. Additionally, the Bentley
Infrastructure Cloud and SYNCHRO provide a unified, data-driven platform for
project collaboration, ensuring all stakeholders work from a single source of truth.
These 4D construction planning and management tools integrate scheduling, model-
based planning, and real-time data tracking to minimise material waste, reduce
environmental impact, and enhance infrastructure resilience. AI-driven predictive
maintenance further extends the lifespan of roads and highways, lowering long-term
costs and improving asset performance.

You may not be aware but many of UAE highways and roads infrastructure have been
designed and constructed using Bentley technology, that we as residents in UAE enjoy
in our day-to-day life to commute. The country’s Etihad passenger rail service aims to
improve connectivity in the UAE and streamline transport across the Gulf Cooperation
Council countries. As part of the project, SYSTRA chose Bentley’s Open applications to
model the corridor, streamlining and automating previously manual workflows. The
Bentley LumenRT further provided stakeholders with a comprehensive view and
understanding of the project, while also proposing changes in real time. Likewise,
CDM Smith conducted an analysis of the current 67-kilometre, six-lane highway that
connects Dubai and Al Ain in order to enhance traffic flow between the two cities.
LumenRT from Bentley Systems was once again instrumental in the process,
delivering vivid visual renderings to communicate design intent. Bentley applications
reduced design hours and resources by more than 50 per cent, resulting in a more
cost-effective design.
