STAAD.Pro to provide a fast and accurate solution for meeting
project requirements, i.e., quality design within the scheduled
timeframe and minimum budget. STAAD.Pro’s collaborative
environment for document sharing, review, comment (e.g.,
modification in pipe bridge, steel material take-off, vibration
checks, and so on) also helped to reduce project delivery time
and cost.
As an innovation in water network analysis, the Malang project
was cited, where utility provider PDAM Malang was experiencing
water loss due to leakage in their piping system. Bentley’s
WaterGEMS was used to detect and repair leaks, stabilise water
pressure and, in consequence, reduce operating costs through
hydraulic modelling using data logger, flow meter and GPRS
data. WaterGEMS also enabled simulation of customer usage
patterns and the conditions in corroded distribution pipes, a
process much more expedient than manually.
Within its engineering and maintenance department, technology
services provider PT. FKA Global, Jakarta reduced maintenance
costs by 12% by developing a collaborative data-sharing network.
Aside from eliminating departmental data silos, it bolstered
reliability of customer service data and provided better fibre and
coax network visibility. Software used included Bentley Coax,

Bentley Expert Designer Communications, Bentley Fiber, Bentley
Geo Web Publisher, Bentley Inside Plant, Bentley Map, and
MicroStation, to streamline data communications network and
accommodate its many data formats. As an innovation in utilities
and communication, the system allowed for, along with reduced
maintenance costs, better-managed workflows and licence usage.
As part of a USD 100 million undertaking by Chevron Indonesia,
the Bangka deep-water gas field located offshore of East
Kalimantan is being developed into a two-well subsea production
that is to be connected to the West Seno FPU by a flow-line
and umbilical. To create an ‘as-built’ 3D model of the unit to
simulate and facilitate design modifications, ZEE Engineering
used Bentley’s MOSES software. It is a cost-effective strategy that
allows for all future modification works, if any, to be less costly.

New from Bentley
Also, it was opportune, at the Jakarta event, to inform all and sundry
on enhancements to Bentley’s existing software including release
of new ConstructSim products, i.e., ConstructSim Planner, that
simplifies the advanced work packaging process using a virtual
construction model, while ConstructSim Work Package Server
combines real-time construction information with automated work
packaging to increase project visibility, improve productivity, and
reduce costs.
In advancing reality modelling capabilities, Bentley has acquired
LumenRT for “visual optioneering,” with real-time, immersive
interaction, enlivening infrastructure environments with rich libraries
of dynamic content. Last, but not least, is Bentley’s acquisition of
AssetWise Amulet, for industrial-scale predictive and prescriptive
analytics that advances Bentley’s existing AssetWise solution from
reliability-centered maintenance and risk-based inspection to asset
performance modelling. ■
