Bentley Systems' Bentley Utilities Designer software for utility networks.

Bentley Utilities Designer is a comprehensive software application for the streamlined design and management of electric, gas, water and wastewater utility networks.

The software advances the building information modelling (BIM) objectives of faster/earlier design decisions and the creation of better-performing, intelligent utility infrastructure through the use of information modelling.

Features include: more efficient design capability through built-in access to MicroStation, the information modelling environment for infrastructure professionals; the elimination of time-consuming, open-loop processes for cost estimation and review through the provision of on-the-fly cost estimation for each design decision and configurable design workflow management; option of consolidating network design and management into a single application for reduced software complexity and costs through the software’s built-in, utility-specific GIS based on the Bentley Map platform; the ability to efficiently manage work requests and designs in stand-alone mode or via seamless integration with a variety of enterprise work management systems through the fully configurable workflow engine; increased productivity, accelerated projects and reduced risk through the software’s intraoperability with ProjectWise, the company’s system of collaboration servers and services that enables utility owner-operators to improve the quality, re-use and auditing of design and construction information; rich and reliable information exchange with field personnel through the ability to publish project drawings and utility network maps as i-models that can be reviewed on mobile devices using Bentley Map Mobile.
