Chris Pair Senior Software Developer Bentley OnSite Overview & Update

Bentley OnSite Modules Administrator –Preferences –Project Builder –Data Reporting –Asbuilt Data to DGN Client –Analysis of Original Designs –Stakeout –Inspection –Quantities measurement for contractor payments –Final as-built surveys

Bentley’s OnSite Goals Eliminate Reverse Engineering In-field data access On-site Location assistance Design intelligence in the field

Who can use Bentley Onsite? Construction Inspectors Construction Layout Crews Surveyors and Engineers Operation and Maintenance Firms Geotechnical Firms Land Developers Municipalities

So What Does It Require? No CAD is required No pre-requisite Engineering Applications, such as GEOPAK, InRoads, or MX Viewing, Calculations, and Reporting are self contained Populate data from LandXML files or from GEOPAK, InRoads or MX designs Training time is minimal

What Does It Support? Mapping Systems and Geoids Spin/calibrate into local control Work in Ground or Grid design systems CORS/VRS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) Manual mode, GPS, Laser Ranger Finder, Total Station (limited) Schematic mode

Bentley OnSite Administrator PC application Manages system environment Creates and Edits Design Archives Transfers both Design Archives and As-Built Databases back and forth between PC and Handhelds Merging and redistribution of Field Project Databases Generates.dgn “as-built” Extensive reports

Bentley OnSite (Client) Utilizes Quantity Manager Data if present Provides comprehensive field notes –Pictures –Sound Bites –Sketches with Handwriting Recognition Provides direct access to Specifications Works Geospatially or Schematically

Hardware Options Office PC or Laptop –XP operating system Tablet PC (Best) –Tablet PC or XP operating system Ultra Mobile PC (Best) –Tablet PC or XP operating system Hand Held PDA (Usable) –Windows Mobile Mobile Phone (Stretch) –Windows Mobile

So How Does It Work??? Administrator –Pulls multiple formats together –Design Archive is protected –NO Translation
