Bentley Systems eyes highway projects

By Shanthi Kannan

CHENNAI SEPT. 13. Bentley Systems India is in talks with various State government highways departments for implementing its software solutions in the area of infrastructure development.

According to Sandeep Srivastava, Managing Director of Bentley India, the company has already been exploring the possibility of implementing its solutions in Tamil Nadu road sector project for laying state highways.

The World Bank funded road project would have an investment outlay of Rs. 700-800 crores. These government highway departments would use the Bentley solutions for geographical information system.

The company was also trying to tap the airport projects coming up in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. It would provide intelligent 3D component for designing and constructing the airport. It also provided its 3D model for Delhi Metro rail project. The company was planning to set up a software quality and testing assurance centre in Mumbai.

Today, Bentley Systems had transformed into a software infrastructure company, dabbling in diverse areas like plant, building, gas and civil engineering. It had so far deployed more than 5,000 seats of software at over 600 customer sites in South Asia. In India, it has clients such as L& T, ONGC, IOC, Indian Army, Centre for AI and robotics, Engineers India and many more.

Mr. Srivastava said Bentley had taken a lead role in leveraging Internet - related technologies and standards for operations. It had developed content publishing servers such as publisher and Digital Interpol.

Most of the companies, which were using Bentley's solutions were either doing an out right purchase of the solution or leasing it out till the project got completed. At present, nearly 95 per cent of the solutions were bought outright.
