Bentley Systems Inc. on June 30 announced that it signed a global enterprise agreement with Shell under which Bentley will supply automated 4D and 5D construction-management solutions as a managed service to support Shell’s capital project execution.
According to Tim O’Leary, Bentley’s global engagement director and lead on the deal, the services will be based on Bentley’s ProjectWise ConstructSim and provide the core service to support construction operations under Shell’s ProjectVantage program.
Shell describes ProjectVantage as a data-centric ecosystem that supports the “pillars” of design, logistics, material management, construction, commissioning and handover to operations. Its goal is to deliver safer, faster and better capital projects by enabling data consistency across suppliers and engineering disciplines and simplifying work packaging for engineering, construction and installation. It adheres to the Construction
Industry Institute’s (CII) Advanced Work Packaging methodology.
