The drive to create “digital twins” of physical facilities is transiting from idea to reality, as sophisticated owners and their construction management consultants begin harnessing the growing power of computer processing, reality capture and improved data management tools and techniques to begin putting digital meat on the twins’ bones.

In an effort to boost infrastructure project success, Bentley Systems has rolled out several new strategies for improving digital workflows to take projects all the way from concept to operations and even decommissioning, including a new digital twin cloud service dubbed iTwin Services.

The UK's National Infrastructure Commission chairman, Sir John Armitt, and Bentley Systems' CEO, Greg Bentley, sit down for a discussion about improving infrastructure through public policy, data, and digital twins.
