Bentley Civil - What Users Say

“Track design for a stretch of 8 Km which used to take more than 6 months, was completed in less than 3 months with solutions from Bentley Systems”- Delhi Metro Rail Corporation

“The use of Bentley’s MX software has greatly benefited us in providing optimal alignments and helping us complete the feasibility study on time, which otherwise would have been difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish”- Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt Ltd

Delhi Metro Rail CorporationSituation

• Design/construct world-class mass rapid transport system in a large, densely populated metropolitan city. Cost of phase 1 (60 km): USD $4000 million

• Integrated with other modes of transportation; state-of-the-art fare collection, communications

• Required quick turnaround on design

Solution

• Deployed MXRAIL for design and management of engineering information

• Provided rapid design modifications; accurate reports to help surveyors with track layouts

• Improved 3D visualization for design interpretation, quick decision making

Return on Investment• Cut design time (including alignment)

for 1st 8 km stretch of track by 50% (from six to three 3 months)

• Savings in land optimization and route definition through effective design

• Optimized design process and reduced errors

Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt LtdSituation

• Widening of the existing 98 Km -2 lane road to a 4 lane road between Banihal and Srinagar of NH1-A in J&K

• The road winds through challenging mountainous terrain which is subject to avalanches & land slides

• Constantly changing terrain made it difficult to visualize alternatives routes & feasibility

Solution

• Deployed MXROAD to create a digital terrain model from survey maps, and worked out several alignments to avoid hazardous areas

• Improved 3D visualization for design interpretation including bird’s-eye view & driver’s-eye view of alternative routes

Return on Investment• Cut cost of project by 15% with

elimination of over design

• Work required for detailed design reduced by 60% compared to 2D methods

• Faster project approval with 3D visualization and reports from MX

RITES –Kashmir Railway ProjectSituation

• Extend the Indian Rail Network in the Himalayan state of J&K. Cost of the project USD 2.5 Billion

• The rail track winds through challenging mountainous terrain where one stretch of 142 Km has 118 bridges & 65 tunnels

• The terrain made it difficult to arrive at alternative alignments & created a challenge to optimize costs

Solution

• Deployed MXRAIL for design and management of engineering information

• Model size excess of 2GB handled and able to triangulate over 8 million points and over 13.5 million triangles.

• Improved 3D visualization for design interpretation, quick decision making

Return on Investment• Construction time reduced by 6

months in one section of 12 Km route between km 50 and 62

• Savings are in excess of INR 600 million for the same section

• 3D visualization helped avoid site visit each time for every alternative alignment to visualize the terrain for constructability.
