OREANDA-NEWS. November 13, 2012. Joint seminar of Bentley Systems and its Azerbaijan partner – AZEL devoted to the design, construction and maintenance of roads and bridges was organized in Baku.

The seminar was opened by Rasim Ibrahimov, Chairman of the Management Board, AZEL. He welcomed seminar participants and informed them that “AZEL is an official partner of Bentley Systems in Azerbaijan, and offers a full range of solutions in the design of infrastructure. He also noted that Bentley Systems offers advanced solutions in the industry that  allow the customer to save time and resources in the preparation of any type of projects. "

Then the floor was given to Dmitry Tameev, Sales Director Bentley Systems in Russia, CIS and Baltic countries. He noted that Bentley Systems considers Azerbaijan as one of the fastest growing and promising markets in the region. "We are impressed with the scale of construction and a variety of new infrastructure and road construction projects, which accomplished in Azerbaijan in recent years. We hope that Bentley Systems solutions will be of interest to the Azerbaijani companies and will help to simplify the design of roads and bridges, as well as increase the efficiency of the company’s work. " Stanislav Vasyanin, senior technology consultant at Bentley Systems, Russia & CIS, presented a comprehensive solution for the design and management of road infrastructure (including BentleyMap, RailTrack, InRoads, Descartes, and EXOR). Stanislav Vasyanin also, made a presentation of the professional package for comprehensive support for creating bridges RM Bridge. The software package includes a specialization for a variety of bridges and applied technologies. Bentley has an innovative approach methodology BrIM - Bridge Information Modelling, which provides users with an effective interaction with a set of products to support the life cycle of the bridge: Planning - Analysis - Design - Construction - Operation and maintenance. RM Bridge covers a large part of these components and implements communication with other stages of life cycle support. With the use of RM Bridge were constructed Sutong Bridge across the Yangtze in China, Stone Cutter Bridge in Hong Kong and Sheik Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi (UAE). Then Oleg Vitushkin, technical consultant, Bentley Systems, Russia & CIS told about Bentley solutions for transport Bentley Power Civil. Power Civil solution for all types of roads and structures such as highways and road junctions. As it were noted, modern engineers, designers and organizations operating object face the problem of control over the entire life cycle of the object. Power Civil allows you to cover the entire life cycle of the project. Information-rich simulation using Power Civil can be integrated with CAD functions mapping, GIS, and even three-dimensional PDF. Power Civil automates processes of design for each type of road project and allows validation of the design at any stage. Software is highly flexible and is applied to transport any type of project and master plan at all stages. Power Civil fully complements the features that provide users with the ability to automatically work with the data surveying, GPS, laser scanning and other formats of field data. The solution allows for the movement of a virtual three-dimensional model of the corridor for its visual check for any errors or physical defects. At the end of the seminar solution for management of engineering data ProjectWise and Q&A session was organized.
