The Engineers Collective

This month on The Engineers Collective, Mark and Alex are joined by the managing director of Crossrail 2, Michèle Dix. The trio, of course, talk Crossrail 2 and the impacts of lessons learned by Crossrail 1. Innovation, embracing new technologies and the future of large infrastructure projects are all under the microscope as Michèle offers a fascinating insight into her observations about the industry. The interview with Michèle Dix begins at 12:02. This episode also looks at the new HS2 review, talks dam safety in the wake of Whaley Bridge and asks: is Boris Johnson going to be our infrastructure champion? The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. MRT Corp was established to deliver the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit project, a planned three-line modern railway system in the Greater Kuala Lumpur-Klang Valley region of Malaysia. With the first line completed in July 2017, MRT Corp was the first metro project in Asia to adopt BIM Level 2 standards plus cloud-based collaboration to streamline workflows and improve efficiency, productivity, and performance on its second line, the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) line. Establishing a connected data environment using Bentley applications as its foundation, MRT Corp has reduced rework, improved multi-discipline design collaboration, and increased productivity by 35 percent due to its ability to seamlessly share accurate information in real time.

In this special episode of The Engineers Collective, Mark and Alex are joined by Bentley Systems’ Chief Product Officer, Bhupinder Singh. The trio talk Digital Twins. What are they? What can they be used for? What does the future look like for Digital Twins? As well as debunking myths about the technology, Bhupinder talks about some of Bentley’s new partnerships and the innovation taking place around the world with Digital Twins at the heart. This episode also touches on Bentley Systems’ Year in Infrastructure Conference which will be held between 21-24 October 2019 in Singapore. Find out more by visiting yii.bentley.com. As the operator of Brazil’s Governador José Richa Airport, Infraero – Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária needed a better way to organise its data and share information among different areas of the company and external stakeholders. Using BIM and GIS technology, along with Bentley applications, the project team created a digital twin of the airport that includes a reality mesh and central repository for all airport data. Its digital twin is streamlining all future internal airport infrastructure projects, as well as planning and management processes, and the project was a winner of Bentley’s 2018 Year in Infrastructure Award for Advancing Digital Twins for Airports.
