“This project could only have been completed using the innovative visualization capabilities built into Bentley applications,” said Wally Bennett, project manager, CH2M HILL. “Had we chosen a different method for this project, the cost would have been much higher and design time would have taken much longer. Indeed, the final geometry of the proposed structure would have been difficult to accomplish without Bentley’s 3D tools. The generated 3D model became the sole source of design information and tied all aspects of the project together. Bentley products were ideal in making this project a reality.”
