FutureTales LAB by MQDC is collaborating with ESRI (Thailand)to set up the “Urban Hazard Studio” data hub to study Greater Bangkok’s flood risks
With the integration of ESRI’s technology for spatial analysis with FutureTalesLAB’s expertise in climate changes and disasters, the hub will allow all sectors to be prepared for and avert future threats of flood
The joint commitment is soon to include tsunamis and PM2.5. as well
Bentley Systems announced a collaboration initiative with WSB to lead civil infrastructure owners and contractors to adopt and use infrastructure digital twins
WSB has launched a new digital construction management solution and advisory service, based on Bentley’s SYNCHRO, to help the civil infrastructure market overcome challenges of adopting model-based digital workflows and leveraging the power of construction digital twins
WSB is the first firm to join the Bentley Digital Integrator Program for construction to provide programmatic go-to-market support and knowledge transfer to eligible engineering and project delivery firms and system integrators creating and curating digital twins for their clients’ infrastructure assets
Key services include
enabling a single source of truth by connecting project, contract, and document management to the future of design—a 3D/4D/5D constructable model
the ability to create constructable models from current 2D plan sets
Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) will save an estimated £5million by deploying drones on the HS2 development - Europe's largest infrastructure project
The drone data is processed in Esri SiteScan to produce georeferenced, high-resolution interactive orthomosaics
The size, scale, and scope of the development pose logistical, financial, environmental and time-related challenges
Drones help tackle these challenges by enabling BBV to track progress, measure stockpiles, and monitor earth movements more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively than using traditional, manual, terrestrial methods
Esri Startup Partner Pollen Systems demonstrated PrecisionView™ Mobile, built on the new ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift, at Esri’s Partner and Developer Conferences
PrecisionView™ Platform maps out spatially accurate farm blocks and provides precise locations of IoT devices, integrating data from moisture, irrigation, and climate sensors
Farmers can capture a 360-degree digital twin of their farm and receive detailed reports and recommendations to help their farms be as efficient and productive as possible
Users of Bentley software are invited to enter their projects in the Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure program and three finalists will be chosen for each category
The categories include construction, enterprise engineering, subsurface modeling and analysis, and etc.
Projects may be recognised for their economic impact, and innovative use of Bentley software
Bentley founders will also honour select projects representing organisations or individuals whose undertakings contribute notably to infrastructure advancement or environmental and social development goals
Bentley Systems announced it has acquired EasyPower, a leading developer of design and analysis software tools, including arc flash solutions
The acquisition of EasyPower broadens Bentley Systems’ comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering
Priorities for Bentley Systems will include integrating EasyPower’s schema and digital workflows with Bentley’s OpenBuildings, OpenFlows, OpenPlant, OpenRail, and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management applications
Bentley Systems expect to enable the distribution systems powering infrastructure to be more readily adapted to new imperatives for sustainability by incorporating EasyPower within its design and modeling portfolio, and iTwin Platform
Esri plans to open another downtown St. Louis office, this time joining a facility which is a growing hub for geospatial companies with T-Kartor, Maxar Technologies and Westway Services Group
The office will offer sensitive compartmented information facilities, or SCIF space, needed to review classified information
It’s not still clear when the new office will open or how many employees will work from the office
