The partnership of technology company Bentley Systems and engineer WSB announced recently is designed to show contractors how best to take advantage of modern
digital-twin workflows, said Andy Kaiyala, vice president of
construction technology and controls at WSB. The firms are joining to help contractors deploy Bentley's Synchro platform on major road, rail and other large-scale infrastructure projects.
"Nobody gets there in one step, that's not where the market is today," Kaiyala said at the announcement of the partnership at CONEXPO-CONAGG 2023, March 14-18, in Las Vegas. He adds that Synchro provides a platform for both engineering and construction decisions and aims to get them to a place where they're comfortable using digital twins to inform both.
