Bentley Systems,
Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing
infrastructure, today announced its call for submissions to the 2016 Be Inspired Awards program. The deadline for entries is May
30, 2016. The awards, which are selected by independent juries of industry
experts, recognize the extraordinary work of organizations that help advance
the world’s infrastructure by designing, engineering, constructing, delivering,
and/or operating safer, more resilient, sustainable, and intelligent roads,
bridges, buildings, plants, water distribution networks, and a host of other
infrastructure assets. The architects, engineers, constructors, and/or
owner-operators that comprise these organizations help realize their goals by
taking advantage of the many BIM advancements that Bentley software and
services innovations provide them through:
· an increased depth of information modeling,
for better asset performance, and/or
· an increased breadth of information mobility,
for better project performance.
The
18 Be Inspired Awards categories in this comprehensive, global
program cover every aspect of the built environment – from innovation in asset performance,
building, and construction to innovation in government, land development,
mining, offshore, project delivery, and more. A new category this year is
innovation in reality modeling, showcasing projects that demonstrate
excellence in reality capture and/or visualization that solved a specific
design, construction, or operations challenge.
All
Bentley users are invited to enter their projects in the Be Inspired Awards
program, no matter what
phase the project is in – preconstruction/conceptual, design, construction, or
built. The three finalists
chosen for each Be Inspired Awards category will win a trip to
London to attend, as a guest of Bentley Systems, The Year in Infrastructure
2016 Conference, being held Nov. 1-3 at the Hilton London Metropole in the U.K. The finalists will present their projects in
the Be Inspired Awards finals portion of the
conference before the judges, industry thought leaders, and more than 100
members of the media gathered for this highly interactive event comprising
presentations, summits, and workshops.
Paul G. Wilson,
technical director, Digital Project Delivery, EMIA, AECOM, said, “We were
honored to be recognized at the 2015 Be Inspired Awards for
our innovative project delivery work on the Stockholm E4 Bypass – one of the largest civil engineering projects in Sweden. The
competition for this prestigious award is itself inspiring given the number,
quality, and scale of the projects nominated. As an integral part of Bentley’s Year
in Infrastructure Conference, the awards showcase some of the sector’s
most pioneering projects and provide valuable insight into innovative
technology in use. We look forward to participating in the 2016 event.”
Paul Brown, CAD/BIM/CAE
design manager, SWIP/4LM Projects Engineering Services - Capital Programmes
Directorate London Underground Ltd., said, “We are extremely proud that our
London Underground tunnel remediation project was among those nominations honored
at the 2015 Be Inspired Awards program in London last
November. This innovative competition is aptly named given the remarkable
accomplishments in infrastructure design, engineering, construction, and
operations that it annually recognizes. It provides a wonderful opportunity for
participants to have their advancements in project delivery and asset
performance highlighted on a global stage in front of their peers, industry
thought leaders, and members of the media. There simply is no other program quite
like it!”
Chris
Barron, Bentley vice president, corporate communications, said, “I strongly
encourage Bentley users to take advantage of this call for submissions and fill
out their nomination forms now. Much more than a competition, our Be
Inspired Awards program uniquely brings together infrastructure
professionals, along with members of the media, to share innovative BIM
advancements in infrastructure project design, engineering, construction, and
operations – advancing project delivery and asset performance. At the same
time, it celebrates the innovative achievements of architects, engineers,
constructors, and owner-operators in bringing to fruition infrastructure
projects large and small.
“Every Be
Inspired Awards nomination receives significant and valuable
recognition across the global infrastructure community. So it’s a win for all –
from the remarkable projects nominated to the infrastructure professionals and
organizations that created them.”
Through
the Be Inspired Awards
program, participants can:
· gain global recognition by having their architectural or
engineering infrastructure projects profiled in Bentley’s Infrastructure Yearbook, which is distributed in print and digital formats to nearly
150,000 key media, government, and industry influencers around the world; in
addition, all winners and finalists, as
well as other project nominees, are featured on the User Project Profiles website page;
· enhance their competitive edge by demonstrating to existing and potential
clients the value they and their respective organizations add to projects
through their innovative use of BIM advancements;
· receive media coverage by interacting with global media as
well as members of the Bentley team, who will help them market and promote
their respective projects.
